Row selection in Vue Gantt component
16 Mar 202324 minutes to read
The row selection in the Gantt component can be enabled or disabled using the allowSelection property. You can get the selected row object using the getSelectedRecords method. The following code example shows how to disable the row selection in Gantt.
<template>
<div>
<ejs-gantt ref='gantt' id="GanttContainer" :dataSource="data" :taskFields = "taskFields" :height = "height" :allowSelection='false'></ejs-gantt>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GanttPlugin, Selection } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-gantt";
Vue.use(GanttPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return{
data: [
{
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: 8, TaskName: 'Estimation approval', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 }
]
},
],
height: '450px',
taskFields: {
id: 'TaskID',
name: 'TaskName',
startDate: 'StartDate',
endDate: 'EndDate',

};
},
provide: {
gantt: [ Selection ]
}
};
</script>
Rowselection is the default type of Gantt selection mode.
Selecting a row on initial load
You can select a row at the time of loading by setting the index of the row to the selectedRowIndex property. Find the following code example for details.
<template>
<div>
<ejs-gantt ref='gantt' id="GanttContainer" :dataSource="data" :selectedRowIndex = '5' :taskFields = "taskFields" :height = "height"></ejs-gantt>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GanttPlugin, Selection } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-gantt";
Vue.use(GanttPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return{
data: [
{
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 }
]
},
],
height: '450px',
taskFields: {
id: 'TaskID',
name: 'TaskName',
startDate: 'StartDate',
endDate: 'EndDate',
duration: 'Duration',
progress: 'Progress',
dependency: 'Predecessor',
child: 'subtasks'
},
};
},
provide: {
gantt: [ Selection ]

</script>Selecting a row dynamically
You can also select a row dynamically using the selectRow method. The following code demonstrates how to select a row dynamically by clicking the custom button.
<template>

</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GanttPlugin, Selection } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-gantt";
import { ButtonPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons";
Vue.use(GanttPlugin);
Vue.use(ButtonPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return{

select: function(e){
var ganttObj = document.getElementById('GanttContainer').ej2_instances[0];
ganttObj.selectionModule.selectRow(2); // passing the record index to select the row
},
}
};
</script>Multiple row selection
You can select multiple rows by setting the selectionSettings.type property to multiple. You can select more than one row by holding down the CTRL key while selecting multiple rows. The following code example explains how to enable multiple selection in Gantt.
<template>
<div>
<ejs-gantt ref='gantt' id="GanttContainer" :dataSource="data" :taskFields = "taskFields" :height = "height" :selectionSettings="selectionSettings"></ejs-gantt>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GanttPlugin, Selection } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-gantt";
Vue.use(GanttPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return{
data: [
{
TaskID: 1,
TaskName: 'Project Initiation',
StartDate: new Date('04/02/2019'),
EndDate: new Date('04/21/2019'),

},

}
};
},

}
};
</script>Selecting multiple rows dynamically
You can also select rows dynamically using the selectRows method. The following code demonstrates how to select rows dynamically by clicking the custom button.
<template>
<div>
<ejs-button id="selectRow" cssClass="e-info" v-on:click.native="select">Select Multiple Rows</ejs-button>
<br>
<br>
<ejs-gantt ref='gantt' id="GanttContainer" :dataSource="data" :taskFields = "taskFields" :height = "height" :selectionSettings="selectionSettings"></ejs-gantt>

import Vue from "vue";
import { GanttPlugin, Selection } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-gantt";
import { ButtonPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons";
Vue.use(GanttPlugin);
Vue.use(ButtonPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return{
data: [
{
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: 8, TaskName: 'Estimation approval', StartDate: new Date('04/04/2019'), Duration: 3, Progress: 50 }
]
},
],
height: '450px',
taskFields: {
id: 'TaskID',

endDate: 'EndDate',
duration: 'Duration',
progress: 'Progress',

},
selectionSettings: {

},
provide: {
gantt: [ Selection ]
},
methods: {
select: function(e){
var ganttObj = document.getElementById('GanttContainer').ej2_instances[0];
ganttObj.selectionModule.selectRows([1, 2, 3]); // passing the record index to select the rows
},
}
};
</script>Customize row selection action
While selecting a row in Gantt, the rowSelecting and rowSelected events will be triggered. The the rowSelecting event will be triggered on initialization of row selection, and you can get the previously selected row and current selecting row’s information, which is used to prevent selection of a particular row. The rowSelected event will be triggered on completion of row selection action, and you can get the current selected row’s information through this event. The following code example demonstrates how to prevent the selection of a row using the rowSelecting event.
<template>
<div>
<ejs-gantt ref='gantt' id="GanttContainer" :dataSource="data" :taskFields = "taskFields" :height = "height" :rowSelecting="rowSelecting" :selectionSettings="selectionSettings"></ejs-gantt>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GanttPlugin, Selection } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-gantt";
Vue.use(GanttPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return{
data: [
{
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',

{ 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 }
]
},
],

},
rowSelecting: function (args) {
if (args.data.TaskID == 4) {
args.cancel = true;
}
},
selectionSettings: {
mode: 'Row'
}
};
},
provide: {
gantt: [ Selection ]
}
};
</script>In the Gantt component, when you click an already selected row, selection will be cleared. While deselecting a row in Gantt, the rowDeselecting and rowDeselected events will occur. The rowDeselecting event will occur on initialization of deselecting row, and you can get the current deselecting row’s information to prevent the deselection of particular row. The rowDeselected event will occur on completion of row deselection action, and you can get the current deselected row’s information.
