Lazy load groups when not using the built in remote data feature

[ckosmowski]

I noticed that with the remoteData feature it is possible to fetch the group structure via fetchGroups without fetching the contents of the groups. These groups are then displayed and its contents are lazy-loaded when i click the groups.

Would it be possible to have this feature when NOT using the remote data feature? Like providing the information needed via setGrouping(). And than executing a callback that will fill the groups?

I'm asking because the way we get data from our servers is totally incompatible with remote feature of doby-grid so we need to handle all the remote things ourselfs.

Short version of what i'm looking for:

• Table displays empty groups that i defined before
• Clicking on a group the entries are loaded from a callback that does whatever it needs to to get the entries belonging to this group

Is this feature on the roadmap already, or do you have any hints for me, how i could possibly workaround this?

I can't think of any workarounds as the loading of data is quite tightly tied with Doby Grid's rendering methods. This is a feature that will require some restructuring of the internal methods. It's not on the roadmap at the moment.
