Overview

The React Gantt Chart is a project planning and task‑scheduling component used to visualize and manage hierarchical tasks on a timeline. It helps teams estimate project duration, allocate the right resources, track task dependencies, and determine the correct execution order. With an interactive timeline view, it enables efficient planning and monitoring of projects across industries such as software development, construction, manufacturing, and service operations.

React Gantt Chart code example

Easily get started with the React Gantt Chart using a few simple lines of TSX code, as demonstrated below. Also explore our React Gantt Chart example, which shows you how to render and configure the component in React.

import { GanttComponent,  Inject,  Selection} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';
export default function App() {
  const taskFields = {
    id: 'TaskID',
    name: 'TaskName',
    startDate: 'StartDate',
    duration: 'Duration',
    progress: 'Progress',
    parentID: 'ParentID',
  };
  return (
    <GanttComponent  taskFields={taskFields}>
      <Inject services={[Selection]} />
    </GanttComponent>
  );
};

Scheduling

The React Gantt Chart provides scheduling capabilities to manage task dates, dependencies, and timeline changes throughout a project. Automatic and manual scheduling modes help recalculate affected tasks or maintain fixed dates when required. Task types, constraints, and split tasks support complex project scenarios by controlling schedule behavior, enforcing date requirements, and representing paused or resumed work.

Task Dependencies

The React Gantt Chart supports task dependencies to define relationships between tasks and control project sequencing. Finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish dependency types model different scheduling relationships, while lead and lag offsets represent overlapping work or gaps between dependent tasks. Offset behavior can be configured to preserve existing offsets when predecessor task dates change.

Editing and Task Interactions

The React Gantt Chart provides multiple ways to update tasks, dependencies, and project structures directly within the schedule. Inline cell editing and dialog-based forms allow users to modify task details, while taskbar interactions update task dates and durations directly on the timeline. Row drag-and-drop supports reorganizing tasks within the hierarchy, and undo and redo help manage schedule changes during planning and revisions.

Project Tracking

The React Gantt Chart project tracking features help teams monitor progress and compare planned schedules with current project status. Critical path highlighting identifies tasks affecting the project completion date, while baseline comparison and schedule variance show differences between planned and current task dates. Progress tracking displays task completion status for schedule reviews.

Resource Management

The React Gantt Chart resource management features allow users to assign resources to tasks and review resource assignments within project schedules. Resource allocation connects resources with tasks, resource view organizes schedules by assigned resources, and multi-taskbar display shows overlapping assignments within resource rows. Resource units represent partial or full-time resource allocation for project activities.

Local data binding in React Gantt Chart.

Data Binding

The React Gantt Chart supports binding local and remote data sources to visualize project schedules from application data. Hierarchical and self-referential task structures represent parent-child relationships, while built-in adaptors support REST, OData V4, Web API, and GraphQL services. Custom adaptors enable integration with non-standard data sources.

Performance and Virtualization

The React Gantt Chart uses virtualization and rendering optimization features to efficiently display large project schedules. Row virtualization renders only visible task rows, while timeline virtualization renders only the visible date range. Load-on-demand loads child task data when a parent task is expanded, reducing initial data loading for hierarchical projects.

Timeline modes in React Gantt Chart.

Timeline

The React Gantt Chart timeline provides flexible ways to view project schedules across different time scales. Timeline tiers display multiple date levels together, zooming adjusts the visible time scale from hour-level to year-level detail, and timeline modes switch between different date units. Timeline view range allows users to define a fixed visible period for consistent schedule reviews.

Project Calendar

The React Gantt Chart project calendar defines the working days, holidays, and daily working hours used in project scheduling. Custom workweeks specify available working days, holiday settings mark non-working dates that affect scheduling calculations, and working hours define available time for task planning. Timeline markers highlight milestones, deadlines, and reviews without changing task scheduling behavior.

Columns

The React Gantt Chart columns allow users to customize the task grid layout with column reordering, resizing, freezing, and formatting options. Frozen columns keep important fields visible during scrolling, while WBS numbering represents task hierarchy with structured identifiers and the column menu provides column-based actions.

Filtering and Sorting

The React Gantt Chart filtering and sorting features help users analyze and organize project tasks based on specific criteria. Excel-style and menu-based filtering allow users to filter task data by column values or conditions, while hierarchical filtering maintains parent-child task relationships in filtered results. Multi-column sorting enables tasks to be ordered using multiple fields for structured schedule analysis.

Templates and Customization

The React Gantt Chart templates allow users to customize the visual appearance of taskbars, labels, timeline headers, columns, and baselines without changing the underlying task data. Taskbar and baseline templates control bar presentation, label templates add contextual information, and column and timeline header templates customize the display of grid and timeline elements.

Export

The React Gantt Chart export features allow users to share project schedules in Excel, PDF, and CSV formats for reporting and data exchange. Excel export creates spreadsheet-based schedules, PDF export generates fixed-layout documents, and CSV export provides structured schedule data for use with other tools. Export customization options help adjust exported output based on reporting requirements.

Row selection in React Gantt Chart.

Selection and Hover

The React Gantt Chart selection and hover features support interactive schedule review and navigation. Row and cell selection highlight task records or individual values, multiple selection allows selecting multiple items together, and hover highlighting provides visual feedback during interaction.

Theming and Styling

The React Gantt Chart supports Material 3, Bootstrap 5, and Tailwind 3 themes with built-in light and dark variations. Row hover styling and appearance customization allow developers to adjust taskbar, grid, and timeline visuals to match application design requirements.

Web Standards and Localization

The React Gantt Chart provides accessibility and localization features for inclusive project scheduling. Keyboard navigation supports chart interaction without a mouse, RTL layout displays content correctly for right-to-left languages, and localization supports dates, labels, and messages in the configured language. Accessible interaction patterns and structured content align with WCAG guidance.

Mobile-optimized and touch-friendly

The React Gantt Chart has a highly responsive layout and fine touch support for desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
