Holidays in EJ2 TypeScript Gantt control

2 May 20233 minutes to read

Non-working days in a project can be displayed in the Gantt control using the holidays property. Each holiday can be defined with the following properties:

  • from: Defines start date of the holiday(s).
  • to: Defines end date of the holiday(s).
  • label: Defines the description or label for the holiday.
  • cssClass: Formats the holidays label in the Gantt chart.

To highlight the holidays, inject the DayMarkers module into the Gantt control.

The following code example shows how to display the non-working days in the Gantt control.

import { Gantt, DayMarkers } from '@syncfusion/ej2-gantt';
import { GanttData } from 'datasource.ts';

Gantt.Inject(DayMarkers);

let gantt: Gantt = new Gantt({
    dataSource: GanttData,
    height: '450px',
    taskFields: {
        id: 'TaskID',
        name: 'TaskName',
        startDate: 'StartDate',
        duration: 'Duration',
        progress: 'Progress',
        child: 'subtasks'
    },
    holidays: [{
        from: "04/04/2019",
        to: "04/05/2019",
        label: " Public holidays",
        cssClass: "e-custom-holiday"

    },
    {
        from: "04/12/2019",
        to: "04/12/2019",
        label: " Public holiday",
        cssClass: "e-custom-holiday"

    }]
});
gantt.appendTo('#Gantt');
