Task Dependency in React Gantt component

05 Aug 2021 / 8 minutes to read

Task dependency or task relationship can be established between two tasks in Gantt. This dependency affects the project schedule. If you change the predecessor of a task, it will affect the successor task, which will affect the next task, and so on.

Task relationship types

Task relationships are categorized into four types based on the start and finish dates of the task.

Start to Start (SS)

You cannot start a task until the dependent task also starts.

Alt text

Start to Finish (SF)

You cannot finish a task until the dependent task is started.

Alt text

Finish to Start (FS)

You cannot start a task until the dependent task is completed.

Alt text

Finish to Finish (FF)

You cannot finish a task until the dependent task is completed.

Define task relationship

Task relationship is defined in the data source as a string value, and this value is mapped to the Gantt component by using the taskFields.dependency property. The following code example demonstrates how to enable the predecessor in the Gantt component.

Predecessor offset with duration units

In the Gantt component, the predecessor offset can be defined with the following duration units:

Day
Hour
Minute

You can define an offset with various offset duration units for predecessors by using the following code example.

Validate predecessor links on editing

In Gantt, task relationship link can be broken by editing the start date, end date and duration value of task. When the task relationship broken on any edit action. This can be handled in Gantt in two ways.

Using actionBegin event
Using predecessor validation dialog

Using actionBegin event

When the task relationship link is broken on any edit action, then the actionBegin event will be triggered with requestType argument as validateLinkedTask. You can validate the editing action within the actionBegin event using the validateMode event argument. The validateMode event argument has the following properties:

Argument	Default value	Description
args.validateMode.respectLink	false	In this validation mode, the predecessor links get high priority. With this mode enabled, when the successor task is moved before the predecessor task’s end date, the editing will be reverted, and dates will be validated based on the dependency links.
args.validateMode.removeLink	false	In this validation mode, the taskbar editing gets high priority. For inappropriate task dates, the dependency links will be removed and tasks will be moved to the edited date.
args.validateMode.preserveLinkWithEditing	true	In this validation mode, the taskbar editing will be considered along with the dependency links. This relationship will be maintained by updating the offset value of predecessors.

By default, the preserveLinkWithEditing validation mode will be enabled, so the predecessors are updated with offset values.

The following sample explains enabling the respectLink validation mode while editing the linked tasks in the actionBegin event.

Using validation dialog

When disabling all the validation modes in the actionBegin event, a validation pop-up will be displayed prompting users to select the validation mode to validate taskbar editing.

This validation pop-up will display different options based on the successor task’s start date after editing.

If you move the successor task that starts after the predecessor task’s end date, then a dialog will be rendered with the following options:

Cancel, Keep the existing link.
Remove the link and move the task to start on edited date.
Move the task to start on edited date and keep the link.

If you move the successor task that starts before the predecessor task’s end date, then a dialog will be rendered with the following options:

Cancel, Keep the existing link.
Remove the link and move the task to start on edited date.

The following code example shows how to enable the predecessor validation dialog in Gantt.
