The problem in depth 🔍

I've been playing with row grouping, and I've noticed that if the data updates (via updating the rows prop) , rows will collapse or expand back to their default state (based on defaultGroupingExpansionDepth).

While there's a way to control the grouping model, I can't find a way to control the grouping state.

Is there a way to force the data-grid to remember / persist the state of the expanded / collapsed rows?

Hi

If you update the rows prop, the grid will update all its rows and loose there state.
If you want to add / remove / update some rows, you can use the apiRef.current.updateRows method.

Here is a working example, if you open any group, is should state opened after adding "Toy Story 4": https://codesandbox.io/s/data-grid-premium-forked-4de8zr?file=/package.json

Super helpful!

That said, it'd still be nice to preserve which groups are open/closed for a user between sessions. Any way to do this?
