  Row Grouping
============

Row grouping lets you cluster rows by one or more columns and render a dedicated group header row.

You can choose between page summaries, global totals, or group-pagination strategies based on your data volume and UX needs.

 Grouping with prepared aggregate column PHP     `public array $groupBy = ['category'];public string $groupingStrategy = GroupingStrategy::PageSummary->value;public function columns(): array{    return [        Column::make('name', 'Product Name')->searchable()->sortable(),        Column::make('category', 'Category')->searchable()->sortable(),        Column::make('units_sold', 'Units Sold')->sortable()->aggregate(),        Column::make('price', 'Unit Price')            ->sortable()            ->format(new \MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Formatters\Currency(currencyCol: 'currency')),        Column::make('total_price', 'Total Price')            ->prepare(new \App\Support\Datatable\Formatters\PrepareTotalPrice())            ->format(new \MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Formatters\Currency(currencyCol: 'currency'))            ->aggregate(),    ];}` 

 ```
public array $groupBy = ['category'];
public string $groupingStrategy = GroupingStrategy::PageSummary->value;

public function columns(): array
{
    return [
        Column::make('name', 'Product Name')->searchable()->sortable(),
        Column::make('category', 'Category')->searchable()->sortable(),
        Column::make('units_sold', 'Units Sold')->sortable()->aggregate(),
        Column::make('price', 'Unit Price')
            ->sortable()
            ->format(new \MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Formatters\Currency(currencyCol: 'currency')),
        Column::make('total_price', 'Total Price')
            ->prepare(new \App\Support\Datatable\Formatters\PrepareTotalPrice())
            ->format(new \MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Formatters\Currency(currencyCol: 'currency'))
            ->aggregate(),
    ];
}
```

Strategy Modes
--------------

1\. Page Summary: Aggregates are calculated from rows currently visible on the page.

2\. Global Totals: Aggregates are calculated from the full filtered and searched dataset, while rows stay paginated.

3\. Group Pagination: Pagination is applied to groups, and each group can be expanded with all rows or paginated rows.

 Selecting a strategy PHP     `use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Grouping\GroupingStrategy;use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Grouping\GroupExpansionMode;public string $groupingStrategy = GroupingStrategy::GlobalTotals->value;public string $groupExpansionMode = GroupExpansionMode::PaginatedRows->value;public int $groupExpansionPerPage = 10;` 

 ```
use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Grouping\GroupingStrategy;
use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Grouping\GroupExpansionMode;

public string $groupingStrategy = GroupingStrategy::GlobalTotals->value;
public string $groupExpansionMode = GroupExpansionMode::PaginatedRows->value;
public int $groupExpansionPerPage = 10;
```
