Set this property to true to enable grouping using the context menu. In this case, to group/ungroup data, the user right-clicks a column header and chooses the required item from the appeared context menu.

• groupPanel.visible - enables the user to group data using the group panel.
• columns[].allowGrouping - disallows grouping for an individual column.
• grouping.texts - customizes the context menu items.

By default, to expand/collapse a group, the user clicks its expand/collapse button. On small-screen devices, this approach may impair the user experience. As an alternative, consider expanding/collapsing a group by a click on the group row. For this purpose, assign "rowClick" to the grouping.expandMode property.

Use the GridGroupingExpandMode enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: ButtonClick and RowClick.

Use the properties of this object to localize or customize grouping-related elements. For example, the groupByThisColumn, ungroup and ungroupAll properties customize items of the context menu. These items appear in the menu only if the grouping.contextMenuEnabled property is set to true.

Also, this object contains the groupContinuesMessage and groupContinuedMessage properties that specify the text added to group rows when the group is parted.
