The Data Grid helps improve visualization while loading data by showing the Shimmer effect as loading indicator in-between the time of fetching the data from server(service) and binding it to the grid during initial rendering or refreshing or after performing any grid action like sorting, filtering, grouping, and more. The Data Grid offers two types of loading indicator effect called Spinner and Shimmer.
