React Gantt Chart Code Example
Easily get started with the React Gantt Chart using a few simple lines of TSX code example as demonstrated below. Also explore our React Gantt Chart Example that shows you how to render and configure a Gantt Chart in React.
import { GanttComponent, Inject, Selection } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-gantt';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { projectNewData } from './data';
function App() {
const taskFields = {
id: 'TaskID',
name: 'TaskName',
startDate: 'StartDate',
duration: 'Duration',
progress: 'Progress',
dependency: 'Predecessor',
child: 'subtasks'
};
const labelSettings: any = {
leftLabel: 'TaskName'
};
const projectStartDate: Date = new Date('03/24/2019');
const projectEndDate: Date = new Date('07/06/2019');
return <GanttComponent id='Default' dataSource={projectNewData}
taskFields={this.taskFields} labelSettings={this.labelSettings} height='410px'
projectStartDate={this.projectStartDate} projectEndDate={this.projectEndDate}>
<Inject services={[Selection]} />
</GanttComponent>
};
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));Timeline views
The React Gantt Chart Library supports different configurable timeline views such as hour, day, week, month, and year.
Task scheduling and dependencies
The React Gantt Chart component enables precise task scheduling and seamless management of task relationships, ideal for complex project planning scenarios. It offers full control over how tasks are sequenced, tracked, and linked within your timeline.
- Schedule tasks in automatic or manual mode.
- Visualize and define task dependencies.
- Use four types of task links: finish-to-start (FS), start-to-finish (SF), start-to-start (SS), and finish-to-finish (FF).
- Manage interdependent tasks in large or multiphase projects.
- Determine start and end conditions for each task based on its dependencies.
Critical path
The React Gantt Chart includes built-in support for highlighting the critical path—essential for delivering projects on time. It helps users identify the tasks that directly impact the project’s finish date.
- Visualize the critical path to pinpoint tasks that affect project deadlines.
- Automatically highlights tasks whose delays will impact the overall timeline.
- Enable better task prioritization and resource allocation.
- Help project managers focus on activities critical to project completion.
- Ideal for deadline-driven projects where timely delivery is crucial.
Split and merge tasks
Enhance project visualization by splitting and merging taskbars based on planned breaks or unexpected interruptions. This feature adds flexibility and interactivity to task management.
- Split tasks into multiple segments to reflect work interruptions or phased execution.
- Merge segments easily to consolidate split taskbars when needed.
- Make the Gantt chart more dynamic and realistic for project tracking.
- Improve clarity for tasks that span non-continuous timelines.
- Ideal for projects with variable work schedules or on-hold tasks.
Resource view
Gain a clear view of task assignments across all resources in a structured hierarchy.
- Display resource-wise task allocation in a collapsible row format.
- View multiple tasks for each resource in a single, organized row.
- Ideal for workforce management and resource utilization tracking.
Work breakdown structure (WBS) column
The WBS column organizes project tasks into a multilevel hierarchy by assigning unique codes to each task. This structure improves visibility and control over complex task relationships, making it well-suited for projects such as construction, enterprise systems, and large-scale software development.
Editing
Easily manage task data with full CRUD functionality and custom editors.
- Built-in support for “create, read, update, and delete” (CRUD) operations.
- Choose between default or custom editor controls for each column to tailor editing experiences.
- Perform task edits through dialog, inline cell editing, or interactive taskbar actions.
- Highly customizable to match your application’s specific needs and workflow.

Navigate changes with confidence using intuitive undo and redo controls.
- Revert recent changes with the Undo function.
- Restore reversed actions using the Redo function.
- Works for task edits, dependencies, and more.
- Ensures a safe and flexible editing experience.
Virtual scrolling
Handle large project datasets smoothly with high-performance scrolling.
- Seamlessly render thousands of records using row virtualization, loading only the visible rows to reduce DOM load and improve performance.
- Optimize wide timeline views with timeline virtualization, which renders only the visible timeline range instead of the full time span.
- Ensure smooth horizontal and vertical scrolling, even with extensive data and long project durations.
- Deliver a responsive experience in compact or constrained viewports.
- Ideal for enterprise-level project planning where scalability and speed are critical.

Tooltip
The tooltip displays task information while the mouse hovers over the task and editing actions for the taskbar and connector lines.
Holidays
Display nonworking days using the holidays feature.
Interactive features
Row height and taskbar height
Row height is a major factor when displaying records in the view port and it can be customized effortlessly based on the application’s UI requirement. The height of child taskbars and parent taskbars can be customized using the taskbarHeight property.
Context menu
The context menu improves user action with React Gantt Chart component using a pop-up menu. It appears when a cell or header is right clicked. In addition to built-in default menu items, it allows you to add custom context menu items.
