Getting Started with KendoReact Gantt

The KendoReact Gantt component is part of the KendoReact library of React UI components. It is distributed through NPM under the kendo-react-gantt package.

Overview

The Gantt displays a set of tasks and dependencies which are used to visualize project-planning data.

It provides a tree-list section where the user can sort and filter the tasks in a grid-like fashion, and a time-line section where the tasks and dependencies are visualized under an adjustable time ruler. The Gantt also supports the display of the time-line section in the day, week, month and year views.

The following example demonstrates the KendoReact Gantt component in action.

Basic Configuration

The KendoReact Gantt provides interface for configuration of the task models fields - GanttTaskModelFields, and interface for the dependency models fields - GanttDependencyModelFields.
