I'm trying to clear out my grid by setting the datasource to be empty.  However, from what I've tried so far, I have issues when trying to initially set the datasource to empty, or when I try to add data back to my grid.  It appears that you have to additionally set the "dataSourceType" to 'empty', but this presents other problems...

If I set the dataSourceType to empty:

$myGrid.igGrid('option', 'dataSourceType', 'empty');

$myGrid.igGrid('option', 'dataSource', []);

$myGrid.igGrid('databind');

This clears out my grid, but then, I use the addRow method to add rows back to this grid...

$myGrid.igGrid('addRow', {'employeeId', 5});

...and the dataSource of $myGrid is an empty array.

$myGrid.igGrid('options', 'dataSource')  // empty array

I've tried setting the grid's datasource back to json before adding the row:

$myGrid.igGrid('option', 'dataSourceType', 'json');

$myGrid.igGrid('addRow', {'employeeId', 5});

...but still, the grid's dataSource is empty.  Its like the rows are visually added, but the dataSource isn't updated.
