Data Grid - Overlays

The various data grid overlays.

Loading overlay

To display a loading overlay and signify that the data grid is in a loading state, set the loading prop to true.

The data grid supports 3 loading overlay variants out of the box:

circular-progress (default): a circular loading spinner.
linear-progress: an indeterminate linear progress bar.
skeleton: an animated placeholder of the data grid.

The type of loading overlay to display can be set via slotProps.loadingOverlay for the following two props:

variant: when loading and there are rows in the table.
noRowsVariant: when loading and there are not any rows in the table.

<DataGrid
  {...data}
  loading
  slotProps={{
    loadingOverlay: {
      variant: 'linear-progress',
      noRowsVariant: 'skeleton',
    },
  }}
/>

Circular progress

A circular loading spinner, the default loading overlay.

<DataGrid {...data} loading />

<DataGrid {...data} loading />

    loadingOverlay: CustomLoadingOverlay,
  }}
