Getting started in React Gantt control

2 Jul 202424 minutes to read

This section explains you the steps required to create a simple Essential JS 2 Gantt in a React application and demonstrates its basic features.

To get started quickly with React Gantt Chart the following video explains the project configuration and basic Gantt chart features behaviours:

Dependencies

Following is the list of minimum dependencies required to use the Gantt.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-grids
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-gantt
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-layouts
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-treegrid

Setup for Local Development

You can use create-react-app to setup the applications.
To install create-react-app run the following command.

```
npm install -g create-react-app
```

To setup basic React sample use following commands.

``` create-react-app quickstart --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts ```

``` cd quickstart ```

Adding Syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry.To install Gantt component, use the following command

```
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt --save
```

Adding CSS reference

Add components style as given below in src/App.css.

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-calendars/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-gantt/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-grids/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-richtexteditor/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid/styles/material.css';

To refer App.css in the application then import it in the src/App.tsx file.

Adding Gantt component

Now, you can start adding React Gantt component in the application. For getting started, add the Gantt component in src/App.tsx file using following code.

Place the following gantt code in the src/App.tsx.

import { GanttComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './App.css';

const GanttData: object[] = [
    {
        TaskID: 1,
        TaskName: 'Project Initiation',
        StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),
        EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'),
        subtasks: [
            { TaskID: 2, TaskName: 'Identify Site location', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 3, TaskName: 'Perform Soil test', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 4, TaskName: 'Soil test approval', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
        ]
    },
    {
        TaskID: 5,
        TaskName: 'Project Estimation',
        StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),
        EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'),
        subtasks: [
            { TaskID: 6, TaskName: 'Develop floor plan for estimation', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 7, TaskName: 'List materials', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 8, TaskName: 'Estimation approval', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 }
        ]
    },
];
function App () {
    const taskFields: any = {
        id: 'TaskID',
        name: 'TaskName',
        startDate: 'StartDate',
        duration: 'Duration',
        progress: 'Progress',
        child: 'subtasks',
    };
        return (
            <GanttComponent dataSource={GanttData} height="450px" taskFields={taskFields}/>
        );
   }
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

import { GanttComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './App.css';
const GanttData = [
    {
        TaskID: 1,
        TaskName: 'Project Initiation',
        StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),
        EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'),
        subtasks: [
            { TaskID: 2, TaskName: 'Identify Site location', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 3, TaskName: 'Perform Soil test', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 4, TaskName: 'Soil test approval', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
        ]
    },
    {
        TaskID: 5,
        TaskName: 'Project Estimation',
        StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),
        EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'),
        subtasks: [
            { TaskID: 6, TaskName: 'Develop floor plan for estimation', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 7, TaskName: 'List materials', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 },
            { TaskID: 8, TaskName: 'Estimation approval', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 }
        ]
    },
];
function App() {
    const taskFields = {
        id: 'TaskID',
        name: 'TaskName',
        startDate: 'StartDate',
        duration: 'Duration',
        progress: 'Progress',
        child: 'subtasks',
    };
    return (<GanttComponent dataSource={GanttData} height="450px" taskFields={taskFields}/>);
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Binding Gantt with data

Bind data with the Gantt control by using the dataSource property. It accepts an array of JavaScript object or the DataManager instance.

        );
    }
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

import { GanttComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './App.css';
const GanttData = [
    {
        TaskID: 1,
        TaskName: 'Project Initiation',
        StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),

Mapping task fields

The data source fields that are required to render the tasks are mapped to the Gantt component using the taskFields property.

import { GanttComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './App.css';

const GanttData: object[] = [
        {
            TaskID: 1,
            TaskName: 'Project Initiation',
            StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),
            EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'),
            subtasks: [
                { TaskID: 2, TaskName: 'Identify Site location', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
                { TaskID: 3, TaskName: 'Perform Soil test', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50  },
                { TaskID: 4, TaskName: 'Soil test approval', StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'), Duration: 4, Progress: 50 },
            ]
        },
        {

    progress: 'Progress',
    child: 'subtasks',
    };
 return (
     <GanttComponent dataSource={GanttData} height="450px" taskFields={taskFields}/>
        );
   }
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

    return (<GanttComponent dataSource={GanttData} height="450px" taskFields={taskFields}/>);
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Defining columns

Gantt has an option to define columns as an array. You can customize the Gantt columns using the following properties:

field: Maps the data source fields to the columns.
headerText: Changes the title of columns.
textAlign: Changes the alignment of columns. By default, columns will be left aligned. To change the columns to right align, set textAlign to right.
format: Formats the number and date values to standard or custom formats. Here, it is defined for the conversion of numeric values to currency.

import { GanttComponent, ColumnsDirective, ColumnDirective } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './App.css';

Module Injection

Gantt component features are segregated into individual feature-wise modules.In order to use a particular feature, you need to inject its feature service in the App.In the current application, we are going to use editing, sorting and filtering feature of Gantt.Please find relevant feature service name and description as follows.

Edit: Inject this module to use the editing feature.
Filter: Inject this module to use the filtering feature.
Sort: Inject this module to use the sorting feature.

These modules should be injected into the gantt using the Inject directive.

Enable editing

The editing feature enables you to edit the tasks in the Gantt component. It can be enabled by using the editSettings.allowEditing and editSettings.allowTaskbarEditing properties.

The following editing options are available to update the tasks in Gantt,

Cell
Dialog
Taskbar
Connector line

Cell editing

Modify the task details through cell editing by setting the edit mode to Auto. Inject the Edit module as follows. If the Edit module is not injected, you cannot edit the cell when a grid cell is clicked.

Enabling predecessors or task relationships

Predecessor or task dependency in the Gantt component is used to depict the relationship between the tasks.

Start to Start (SS): You cannot start a task until the dependent task starts.
Start to Finish (SF): You cannot finish a task until the dependent task finishes.
Finish to Start (FS): You cannot start a task until the dependent task completes.
Finish to Finish (FF): You cannot finish a task until the dependent task completes.
You can show the relationship in tasks by using the dependency property as shown in the following code example.

Assigning resources

You can display and assign the resource for each task in the Gantt control. Create a collection of JSON object, which contains id, name, unit and group of the resources and assign it to the resources property. Map these fields to the Gantt control using the resourceFields property.

Enable filtering

The filtering feature enables you to view the reduced amount of records based on filter criteria. Gantt provides the menu filtering support for each column. It can be enabled by setting the allowFiltering property to true along with injecting the Filter module as shown in the following code example. Filtering feature can also be customized using the filterSettings property.

index.tsx
index.html
import { GanttComponent, Inject, Filter } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';

        startDate: 'StartDate',
        duration: 'Duration',
        progress: 'Progress',
        child: 'subtasks'
    };
    return <GanttComponent dataSource={data} taskFields={taskFields} allowFiltering={true} height='400px'>
            <Inject services={[Filter]}/>
        </GanttComponent>;
}

    duration: 'Duration',
    progress: 'Progress',
    child: 'subtasks'
    };
    return <GanttComponent dataSource={data} taskFields={taskFields}

Enable sorting

The sorting feature enables you to order the records. It can be enabled by setting the allowSorting property to true. Inject the Sort module as follows. If the Sort module is not injected, you cannot sort the records when a header is clicked. The sorting feature can be customized using the sortSettings property.

Error handling

Error handling is used to identify errors, display them and develop recovery strategies to handle errors from gantt. In Gantt, error handling is done by using the actionFailure event. Some of the scenarios that this event handles are:

Invalid duration : The duration field accepts only numerical values with an optional decimal point. Entering non-numerical values triggers the actionFailure event and displays issue information in the event argument.
Invalid dependency: The dependency field accepts only a number followed by a predecessor type (FS, FF, SS, SF). Entering invalid values, such as special characters or incorrect predecessor types, triggers the actionFailure event and displays issue information in the event argument.
Invalid offset : The offset accepts only numerical values or their word equivalents followed by a unit. Entering invalid values, such as special characters triggers actionFailure event and displays issue information in the event argument.
Failure to map task fields : The data source fields necessary for rendering tasks should be mapped to the Gantt control using the taskFields property. Failure to map taskFields in the sample triggers actionFailure event and displays issue information in the event argument.
Failure to map resource fields : To assign resources to a task, resource fields should be mapped to the Gantt control using the resourceFields. Failure to map resourceFields in the sample triggers actionFailure event and displays issue information in the event argument.
Failure to map isPrimaryKey : isPrimaryKey field is crucial for CRUD operations. Failure to map id column in gantt column collection or isPrimaryKey field in one of the columns will trigger actionFailure event and display issue information in the event argument.
Invalid date format : format property under topTier and bottomTier determines how the timelines are displayed in the top tier and bottom tier of the Gantt chart timeline. If the format does not contain a valid standard date format, it triggers the actionFailure event, displaying issue information in the event argument.
Failure to map hasChildMapping : hasChildMapping property should configured for load-on-demand. Ensure it properly configured in the taskFields. Failure to map hasChildMapping in the load-on-demand sample triggers actionFailure event and displays issue information in the event argument.
Invalid day in event markers : day should configured in eventMarkers to render striplines in a particular day. Failure to configure the day in eventMarkers triggers actionFailure event and displays issue information in the event argument.

Additionally, TreeGrid side error handling information is also displayed from the Gantt actionFailure event. For more details on TreeGrid side error handling, refer here.

The following code example shows how to use the actionFailure event in the Gantt control to display an exception when isPrimaryKey is not configured properly in the Gantt Chart column.
