DevExtreme Gantt Chart - Resources

Use the dataSource property to bind the UI component to a data source, which contains resources. If the field names in your data source differ from the 'id', 'text' and 'color' default names, use the keyExpr, textExpr and/or colorExpr properties to map data fields.

The 'color' field accepts the following values:

    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        resources: {
            dataSource: resources,

            textExpr: "title",
            colorExpr: "resourceColor"
