In a recent post, I described a plugin for the purpose of loading data from a remote service.
As of right now, that plugin is available as an npm package, so you can easily use it in your own applications. Here is the repository, where you can find usage details in the README shown at the bottom of the page: https://github.com/oliversturm/dx-react-devextreme-data-server
Using the approach described in my post MongoDB and DevExtreme News – Data Servers Made Easy, I set up a demonstration data server running in the cloud. This makes it possible to show you this demo Fiddle, which utilizes the DevExtremeDataServer plugin:
Please try the plugin and let me know what you think, or publish any issues or questions you have directly to github!
