Inputs

NameTypeDefaultDescription

TimelineViewType

'week'

The active timeline view.

columnMenu

boolean | ColumnMenuSettings

false

Specifies if the column menu of the columns will be displayed.

columnsAutoSize

boolean

false

Indicates whether the Gantt columns will be resized during initialization so that they fit their headers and row content. Columns with autoSize set to false are excluded.

columnsReorderable

boolean

false

If set to true, the user can reorder columns by dragging their header cells.

columnsResizable

boolean

false

If set to true, the user can resize columns by dragging the edges (resize handles) of their header cells.

currentTimeMarker

boolean | CurrentTimeSettings

true

Specifies the Gantt current time marker settings. The settings will be applied for all views. If the currentTimeMarker is set for a view then it takes precedence.

data

any[]

Gets or sets the data of the Gantt.

The task data items should either conform to the GanttTask interface, or a taskModelFields object has to be provided.

dependencies

any[]

Defines the dependencies that will be drawn between the rendered tasks.

The dependency data items should either conform to the GanttDependency interface, or a dependencyModelFields object has to be provided.

dependencyModelFields

GanttDependencyModelFields

Sets the fields which will be used to extract the dependency data from the provided dependencies array items.

If no object is provided, the Gantt dependency data items will have to conform to the GanttDependency interface.

dragScrollSettings

DragScrollSettings

Specifies the settings for auto-scrolling during dragging when the pointer moves outside of the container bounderies see example.

fetchChildren

(dataItem: any) => object[] | Observable<object[]>

Gets or sets the callback function that retrieves the child items for a particular item.

filter

CompositeFilterDescriptor

The descriptor by which the data will be filtered.

filterable

boolean

false

Enables the filtering of the Gantt columns that have their field option set.

hasChildren

(dataItem: any) => boolean

Gets or sets the callback function that indicates if a particular item has child items.

isExpanded

(item: object) => boolean

Sets the callback function that indicates if a particular item is expanded. If no callback is set, all items will be expanded and no expand icons will be rendered.

isSelected

(dataItem: object) => boolean

Specifies a callback that determines if the given task is selected (see example).

The selectable prop has to be set to true in order for this callback to be executed.

boolean

If set to true, the user can use dedicated shortcuts to interact with the Gantt. By default, navigation is disabled for the TreeList and Timeline parts of the component, (see example).

rowClass

RowClassFn

Defines a function that is executed for every data row in the component.

selectable

boolean

Enables or disables the Gantt selection mechanism (see example).

When set to true, the isSelected callback has to be provided. When applied, the SelectableDirective sets selectable to true internally.

TimelinePaneOptions

The options of the timeline splitter pane. By default the pane is collapsible, resizable, not collapsed, and its size is '50%'.

toolbarAriaLabel

The possible values for each option are:

  • top—Positions the toolbar above the Gantt panes. Renders the respective tool in the top toolbar.
  • bottom—Positions the toolbar below the Gantt panes. Renders the respective tool in the bottom toolbar.
  • both—Displays two toolbar instances. Positions the first one above,

and the second one - below the Gantt panes. Renders the respective tool in the both toolbars.

  • none—No toolbar is rendered when used for setting position.

No add task or view selector tool is rendered when used for setting addTaskTool or viewSelectorTool.

treeListPaneOptions

TreeListPaneOptions

The options of the treelist splitter pane. By default the pane is collapsible and not collapsed.

validateNewDependency

(dependency: object) => boolean

Specifies a callback that determines if a new dependency is valid. Used when evaluating if an attempt to create a new dependency will result in a valid link between the two tasks see example.

By defalut, dependencies are deemed invalid when:

  • The two tasks are in a parent-child relationship.
  • The two tasks are already dependent on one another. Only one dependency is allowed per pair.
  • The start or end times of the two tasks are incompatible with the attempted dependency type.

workDayEnd

workDayStart

string

The start time of the work day. Accepts string values in the HH:mm format.

workWeekEnd

The end of the work week (index based).

workWeekStart

Day

The start of the work week (index based).

Methods

autoFitColumn

Applies the minimum possible width for the specified column, so that the whole text fits without wrapping. This method expects the Gantt to be resizable (set resizable to true). Makes sense to execute this method only after the Gantt is already populated with data.

Parameters

column

GanttColumnBase

autoFitColumns

Adjusts the width of the specified columns to fit the entire content, including headers, without wrapping. If no columns are specified, autoFitColumns is applied to all columns.

This method requires the Gantt to be resizable (set resizable to true).

Parameters

columns

QueryList<GanttColumnBase> | GanttColumnBase[]

closeCell

Closes an edited cell.

closeTaskDialog

Closes the task editing dialog.

editCell

Opens a cell for editing.

Parameters

dataItem

any

column

any

formGroup?

FormGroup<any>

editTask

Opens the task editing dialog.

Parameters

dataItem

any

formGroup

FormGroup<any>

focus

Focuses the last active cell or task in the Gantt. If no item has previously been focused, the first cell of the TreeList part will receive focus, (see example).

focusCell

Focuses the targeted cell in the TreeList part of the component, (see example).

Parameters

rowIndex

number

colIndex

number

focusTask

Focuses the targeted task in the Timeline part of the component, (see example).

Parameters

taskIndex

number

openConfirmationDialog

Opens the delete task confirmation dialog.

reload

Clears the already loaded children for the dataItem so that the Gantt will fetch them again the next time it is rendered.

Parameters

dataItem

any

reloadChildren?

boolean

reorderColumn

Changes the position of the specified column. The reordering of columns operates only on the level which is inferred by the source column. For the reorderColumn method to work properly, the source column has to be visible.

Parameters

source

GanttColumnBase

The column whose position will be changed.

destIndex

number

The new position of the column.

options

ColumnReorderConfig

Additional options.

updateView

Forces the TreeList to evaluate if some data items have changed and re-renders the rows information, if needed. Recalculates and re-renders the Timeline period, if needed. Redraws changed dependencies, if needed. Executes all row-related callbacks anew.
