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';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { projectNewData } from './data';
function App() {
const taskFields = {
id: 'TaskID',
name: 'TaskName',
startDate: 'StartDate',
duration: 'Duration',
progress: 'Progress',
dependency: 'Predecessor',
child: 'subtasks'
};
const labelSettings: any = {
leftLabel: 'TaskName'
};
const projectStartDate: Date = new Date('03/24/2019');
const projectEndDate: Date = new Date('07/06/2019');
return <GanttComponent id='Default' dataSource={projectNewData}
taskFields={this.taskFields} labelSettings={this.labelSettings} height='410px'
projectStartDate={this.projectStartDate} projectEndDate={this.projectEndDate}>
<Inject services={[Selection]} />
</GanttComponent>
};
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));Timeline
The React Gantt Chart Library supports different, configurable timeline views: hour, day, week, month, and year.
Task scheduling and dependencies
The React Gantt Chart component enables precise task scheduling and seamless management of task relationships, ideal for complex project planning scenarios. It offers full control over how tasks are sequenced, tracked, and linked within your timeline.
- Schedule tasks in automatic or manual mode.
- Visualize and define task dependencies.
- Use four types of task links: finish-to-start (FS), start-to-finish (SF), start-to-start (SS), and finish-to-finish (FF).
- Manage interdependent tasks in large or multiphase projects.
- Determine start and end conditions for each task based on its dependencies.
Critical path
The React Gantt Chart offers support for a critical path, representing a series of tasks that directly influence the calculated finish date of a project. If any task within the critical path is delayed, it leads to a delay in the timeline. This feature is particularly useful for managing projects with fixed deadlines, allowing users to identify and prioritize tasks crucial for timely delivery.
Split and merge tasks
Enhance project visualization by splitting and merging taskbars:
- Split tasks into multiple segments to reflect work interruptions or phased execution.
- Merge segments easily to consolidate split taskbars when needed.
- Make the Gantt Chart more dynamic and realistic for project tracking.
- Improve clarity for tasks that span non-continuous timelines.
- Use for projects with variable work schedules or on-hold tasks.
Resource view
Gain a clear view of task assignments across all resources in a structured hierarchy:
- Display task allocation by resource in a collapsible row format.
- View multiple tasks for each resource in a single, organized row.
Work breakdown structure (WBS) column
The WBS column organizes project tasks into a multilevel hierarchy by assigning unique codes to each task. This structure improves visibility and control over complex task relationships, making it well-suited for projects such as construction, enterprise systems, and large-scale software development.
Editing
The Gantt Chart provides full support for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations. In addition to using built-in editor controls to edit a particular column value, users can create custom editor controls using template support. Users can also edit the task fields directly in their respective cells using a dialog or interactively using taskbars.
Filtering
Data can be filtered using the filter option in each column and search option in the toolbar. The component supports two filter types: Excel-like filters and menu filters. The React Gantt Chart allows users to choose appropriate filter types, define their own custom filtering logic, and customize the filtering UI. Filtering with related parent or child records can be defined.
Undo and redo
The undo feature enables users to revert the most recent action performed in the Gantt Chart. The redo feature allows users to reapply the action that was previously undone.
Virtual scrolling
Virtual scrolling in the React Gantt Chart allows you to load large amounts of data without performance degradation. In row virtualization mode, all tasks are fetched initially from the data source and rendered in the DOM within a compact viewport area.
Frozen columns
Frozen columns stay fixed on the left, right, or both sides of the chart, while the rest of the content scrolls independently. This makes it easy to keep important task identifiers visible at all times.
Auto scroll to taskbar on row selection
Focus on the tasks that are not visible but scheduled later along the timeline by selecting their rows in the grid section.
Highlight days and events
Highlight important days or events in a project using event markers.
Baselines
Compare the current task’s progress with the planned timeline using baselines.
Resource allocation
Allocate multiple resources like staff, equipment, and materials to each task.
Data markers
Display events for a specific task that can be placed on the timeline on any given date.
Tooltip
The tooltip displays task information while the mouse hovers over the task and editing actions for the taskbar and connector lines.
Holidays
Display nonworking days using the holidays feature.
Interactive features
Row and taskbar heights
Row height is a major factor when displaying records in the viewport, and it can be customized effortlessly. The height of child taskbars and parent taskbars can be customized using the taskbarHeight property.
Context menu
The context menu improves user interaction with the React Gantt Chart component by providing a pop-up menu. It appears when a cell or header is right-clicked. In addition to built-in, default menu items, it allows you to add custom items.
Exporting
Easily export the React Gantt Chart component in file formats such as Excel, CSV, and PDF.
Accessibility
Keyboard navigation
Every cell in the React Gantt Chart is keyboard-accessible. Major features like sorting, selection, and editing can be performed using keyboard commands alone; no mouse interaction is required. This helps in creating highly accessible applications using this component.
Screen reader
The React Gantt Chart has complete WAI-ARIA accessibility support. The UI includes high-contrast visual elements to help people with low vision have the best viewing experience. Also, valid UI descriptions are easily accessible through assistive technologies such as screen readers.
Mobile-optimized and touch-friendly
The React Gantt Chart has a highly responsive layout and fine touch support for desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Touch support
User-friendly touch gestures and an interactive UI design help produce the best user experience. All Gantt Chart features work on touch devices with zero configuration.
Responsive
The React Gantt Chart has a responsive layout, allowing it to be viewed on various devices. It is also possible to hide specific columns for particular screen sizes using column-based media query support.
