Manage tasks, dependencies, resources, milestones, and progress in a clear timeline-based project planning view. [Plan with React Gantt](https://www.syncfusion.com/react-components/react-gantt-chart) ## Prerequisites Before starting, ensure you have: - A valid [Syncfusion license key](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/licensing/license-key-generation) . - [Framer desktop application](https://www.framer.com/downloads/) installed. - Basic knowledge of React, TypeScript, and Framer’s developer mode. ## Integrating Framer and Syncfusion React Gantt Chart The first step in integrating the Syncfusion [React Gantt Chart](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/gantt/getting-started) into [Framer](https://www.framer.com/developers/) is to set up your development environment. Framer is built for design and prototyping, while the React Gantt Chart delivers advanced project management features. Integrating both requires a few setup steps for a smooth developer workflow. ### Step 1: Download and install Framer To begin, we need to download and install the Framer desktop app for Mac or Windows. This provides the foundation for your project and for embedding custom code. **How to get started:** - Visit the [Framer website](https://www.framer.com/downloads/) to download the desktop app. - Follow the installation instructions for your operating system. - Once installed, open Framer and start creating a new project to integrate the Gantt Chart. **Note:** Confirm you have a reliable internet connection so you can fetch dependencies and assets during setup. ### Step 2: Creating the project: Set up code files in Framer With Framer installed, the next step is to create a project and add the necessary code files to integrate the Syncfusion React Gantt Chart. This involves setting up a `Gantt.tsx` file for the Gantt Chart component. Framer’s developer mode lets you add custom code files in the **Assets** tab, enabling seamless integration of React components. #### 1. Create a new project in Framer - Open Framer and select **New Project** to start a fresh project. - Name your project (e.g., “Syncfusion Gantt Integration”) and save it in your preferred location. #### 2. Add code files - Navigate to the **Assets** tab in Framer. - Under the **Code** section, create a file named **`Gantt.tsx`**. Refer to the following image for more details. ![Creating the Gantt component in Framer](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Creating-the-Gantt-component-in-Framer.png) Creating a new file in Framer #### 3. Configure the Gantt.tsx file The `Gantt.tsx` file contains the Syncfusion React Gantt Chart, including data, styling, and configuration for tasks, resources, and timelines. Below is the example code to configure the Gantt component in the `Gantt.tsx` file. Gantt.tsx ``` import * as React from "react"; import { GanttComponent, Inject, Edit, Selection, Toolbar, DayMarkers, } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt"; import { registerLicense } from "@syncfusion/ej2-base"; registerLicense("YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"); const GanttChart = () => { return (
); }; export default GanttChart; ``` For more details, refer to the [React Gantt Chart in the Framer](https://framer.com/login/?origin=framer-web&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fframer.com%2Fprojects%2FCSVImportGantt--mWwHJfhsxs94baWza8KC-8NHoU%3Fnode%3DaugiA20Il%26view%3Dcode%253AcodeFile%252FyNEHskL) code example. ![Configuring the code snippets to render Gantt Chart](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Configuring-the-code-snippets-to-render-Gantt-Chart.png) Configuring the code snippets to render a Gantt Chart **Note:** Ensure you have a valid Syncfusion license key (as shown in the **`registerLicense`** function) to use the Gantt Chart component. Replace the provided key with your own if necessary. ### Step 3: Embed the Gantt Chart component To make the Gantt Chart visible in your Framer project, you need to embed it into the **Project** page and update the `Gantt.tsx` file to render the component correctly. To do so, please follow these steps: #### 1. Create a new component in Framer - In Framer, go to the **Components** section in the left panel. - Click the “**…**” icon in the ** Project** section to create a new component and name it `GanttChart`. See the images below. ![Creating new component page for Gantt Chart visibility](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Creating-new-component-page-for-Gantt-Chart-visibility.png) Creating a new component page for Gantt Chart visibility ![Embedding Gantt Chart in Project page](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Embedding-Gantt-Chart-in-Project-page.png) Opening the created Gantt Chart page #### 2. Import the Gantt component - In the Framer canvas, select the `GanttChart`component. - In the `Assets -> Code` section, drag and drop the **`Gantt.tsx`** file onto the `GanttChart` component in the canvas. This links the React component to the Framer project. Here’s a preview of the feature in action: ![Importing the Gantt Chart component into the newly created Embed page](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Importing-the-Gantt-Chart-component-into-the-newly-created-Embed-page.png) Importing the Gantt Chart component into the newly created page #### 3. Preview the Gantt Chart - Click the **Play** button in Framer to preview the project. - The Syncfusion React Gantt Chart will render in the Framer canvas, displaying the project timeline with tasks, dependencies, and event markers. Take a look at how this functionality behaves: ![Rendering the React Gantt Chart component in the Framer project](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Gantt-Chart-rendering-in-the-Framer-project.png) Rendering the React Gantt Chart component in the Framer project ![Previewing the React Gantt Chart project in Framer](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Previewed-the-Gantt-Chart-project-in-Framer.png) Previewing the React Gantt Chart project in Framer #### 4. Customize the design - You can also use Framer’s design tools to adjust the layout and styling, or add UI elements around the Gantt Chart (e.g., buttons, headers, or sidebars). - Ensure the Gantt Chart’s width and height properties (set in `Gantt.tsx` file) fit within your Framer canvas. Once integrated, your Framer project will display a fully functional Syncfusion React Gantt Chart, as shown in the following image. ![Syncfusion Gantt Chart in Framer project](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Syncfusion-Gantt-Chart-in-Framer-project.png) Integrating the React Gantt Chart component in the Framer project ## Frequently Asked Questions Do I need a paid Syncfusion license to make this work?Yes, the Syncfusion Gantt Chart requires a valid commercial license for production use (or beyond the community license limits). In the code, replace “**`YOUR_LICENSE_KEY`**” with your actual key from the Syncfusion dashboard. Without a valid key, you’ll see watermarking, feature restrictions, or runtime errors. Can I install additional Syncfusion packages or npm dependencies in Framer?Framer’s code environment has limitations; it doesn’t support arbitrary npm install like a normal React app. You need to use packages that are compatible with Framer’s bundler. The **`@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt`** package usually works if imported correctly, but for extras (e.g., themes or other Syncfusion controls), test thoroughly. How do I make the Gantt Chart responsive or fit the Framer canvas properly?Set explicit height and width props on (e.g., height=”100%” or width=”100%”), or wrap it in a div with Framer-friendly styles. Use Framer’s layout tools (constraints, auto-layout) around the component instance. Avoid fixed pixel sizes unless necessary; percentage-based sizing usually plays better with Framer’s responsive canvas. Why isn't the Gantt Chart rendering at all in Framer preview?The most common reasons are a missing/invalid Syncfusion license key (check the console for license errors), incorrect imports or the **`@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt`** package not being properly referenced, or the component not exported as default and correctly linked/dropped onto the Framer canvas. Open Framer’s preview console to spot React errors like module not found or hydration issues, and verify your setup step-by-step. ## Build robust project timelines with React Gantt Chart and Framer Thanks for reading!
