JavaScript/jQuery Gantt Options

An object that defines the Gantt UI component's configuration properties.

See Also

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the UI component.

Type:

String

Default Value: null

The value of this property will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether or not the UI component changes its state when interacting with a user.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

This property is used when the UI component is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.

allowSelection

Specifies whether users can select tasks in the Gantt.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

View Demo

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        allowSelection: false,
        // ...
    });
});
See Also

columns

An array of columns in the Gantt.

Default Value: undefined

The columns property accepts an array of columns. To configure a column, use a dxTreeListColumn object or specify a data source field (as a string value) to which the column is bound.

View Demo

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        columns: [{
            dataField: "title",
            caption: "Subject",
            width: 300
        }, {
            dataField: "start",
            caption: "Start Date"
        }, "end"
        ],
        // ...
    });
});

dependencies

Configures dependencies.

Type:

Object

Default Value: null

View Demo

Dependencies specify the relationships between tasks. The following image illustrates how the Gantt displays dependencies in the chart:

DevExtreme Gantt Chart - Dependencies

The Gantt UI component supports the following dependency types:

  • Finish to Start (FS) - The predecessor task's endpoint specifies the successor task's start point.

  • Start to Start (SS) - The predecessor task's start point specifies the successor task's start point.

  • Finish to Finish (FF) - The predecessor task's end point specifies the successor task's end point.

  • Start to Finish (SF) - The predecessor task's start point specifies the successor task's end point.

In a database, you can use any of the following formats (digit or string) to store dependency types:

Dependency Type Supported Values
Finish to Start (FS) 0, "0", "FS", "fs"
Start to Start (SS) 1, "1", "SS", "ss"
Finish to Finish (FF) 2, "2", "FF", "ff"
Start to Finish (SF) 3, "3", "SF", "sf"

Use the dataSource property to bind the UI component to a data source, which contains information about dependency types. If the field names in your data source differ from the 'id', 'type', 'predecessorId' and 'successorId' default names, use the keyExpr, typeExpr properties to map data fields.

resources

Configures task resources.

Type:

Object

Default Value: null

View Demo

You can add resources to a project and assign them to tasks. Resources can be people responsible for tasks, equipment, materials, etc. The Gantt displays resources as labels on the right of the tasks.

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.

scaleType

Specifies the zoom level of tasks in the Gantt chart.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'auto'
Accepted Values: 'auto' | 'minutes' | 'hours' | 'days' | 'weeks' | 'months' | 'quarters' | 'years'

The scaleType property specifies the zoom level for tasks when the Gantt UI component is initialized or when you call the option() method.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        scaleType: 'hours',
        // ...
    });
}); 

If the scaleType property is set to "auto", the UI component is scaled to fit all tasks in the Gantt chart's visible area.

To browse tasks across various levels of detail in real time, hold the CTRL key and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom (in or out).

selectedRowKey

Allows you to select a row or determine which row is selected.

Type: any
Default Value: undefined

View Demo

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        selectedRowKey: 1,
        // ...
    });
});

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

View Demo

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        showResources: false,

showRowLines

Specifies whether to show/hide horizontal faint lines that separate tasks.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        showRowLines: false,
        // ...
    });
}); 

stripLines[]

Configures strip lines.

Default Value: undefined

View Demo

Strip lines allows you to highlight certain time or time intervals in the chart. Use the start property to specify an individual line or combine it with the end property setting to specify a time interval.

DevExtreme Gantt Chart - Tasks

Use the dataSource property to bind the UI component to a data source, which contains tasks. If the field names in your data source differ from default names ('id', 'parentId', 'title', 'start', 'end', 'progress', 'color'), use appropriate properties (keyExpr, parentIdExpr, etc.) to map data fields.
