Does KendoUI Grid support remote grouping?

Hi Artem,

The Grid could be bound to grouped data, and there would be no difference if it is client or server side generated.

In the example the grouping happens outside of the grid, using the process method from the @progress/kendo-data-query package that we provide for connivance. Similar processing could happen in any backend, and here is some examples with asp.net core https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/dataquery/mvc-integration/

And you could skip the kendo-data-query altogether, if you have your own data layer that handles paging, sorting, grouping etc.
Here is a basic example, I have stripped most of the logic and placed some inline data. Open it and press the second page button.

Here is a demo that shows remote binding using fetch. https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/data-operations/odata-server-operations/ with some debounce to avoid spamming the server with calls, some caching and loading panel. Again it is just a sample, there is really no limit how you will bind it, as long as you pass the data in the correct format like in the first example. This way you can integrate it with any data layer, service, local operations, server push notifications etc.

I hope this clear up the question about how to bind it to group data, if you need further assistance with the Grid API let us know.

@Vasil are there any plans to finally add Remote Grouping to Telerik? We were looking at DevExtreme which can do it very cleanly but we prefer Telerik overall for its native Angular support etc... It is just not very viable to not have remote grouping for large datasets.... just trying to add a vote for adding this please.
