Immutable in Angular Gantt component

17 Feb 20234 minutes to read

The immutable mode optimizes the Gantt re-rendering performance by using the object reference and deep compare concept. When performing the Gantt actions, it will only re-render the modified or newly added rows and prevent the re-rendering of the unchanged rows.

To enable this feature, you have to set the enableImmutableMode property as true.

This feature uses the primary key value for data comparison. So, you need to provide the isPrimaryKey column.

app.component.ts

import { Component, ViewEncapsulation, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Gantt } from '@syncfusion/ej2-gantt';
import { ToolbarItem, EditSettingsModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-gantt';
import { projectNewData } from './data';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template:
       `<ejs-gantt id="ganttDefault" height="430px" [dataSource]="data" [taskFields]="taskSettings" [editSettings]="editSettings"
       [toolbar]="toolbar" enableImmutableMode="true"></ejs-gantt>`,
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent{
    // Data for Gantt
    public data: object[];
    public taskSettings: object;
    public editSettings: EditSettingsModel;
    public toolbar: ToolbarItem[];
    public ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = projectNewData;
        this.taskSettings = {
            id: 'TaskID',
            name: 'TaskName',
            startDate: 'StartDate',
            endDate: 'EndDate',
            duration: 'Duration',
            progress: 'Progress',
            dependency: 'Predecessor',
            child: 'subtasks'
        };
        this.editSettings = {
            allowAdding: true,
            allowEditing: true,
            allowDeleting: true,
            allowTaskbarEditing: true,
            showDeleteConfirmDialog: true
        };
        this.toolbar =  ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel','Indent','Outdent'];
    }
}

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { GanttModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-gantt';
import { DayMarkersService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-gantt';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule, GanttModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
    providers: [DayMarkersService]
})
export class AppModule { }

main.ts

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Limitations

The following features are not supported in the immutable mode:

• Column reorder
• Virtualization
