How does it work?
The Bryntum Gantt consists of two parts. The first part is the project data, consisting of tasks, dependencies, resources, assignments, and calendars. The second part is the visualization, the User Interface for the project data.
Project Data
Gantt is one of a kind. Its scheduling engine matches Microsoft Project logic and supports projects of any size. It is built on top of ChronoGraph - an open-source reactive computational engine also developed by Bryntum.
Scheduling engine
The component will perform everything under the hood for you. Defaults suit most situations, but you can also customize the scheduling rules with specific business logic if needed!
The scheduling engine is self-contained/headless, designed to be compatible with a server-side Node.js environment. It is a built-in dependency and should require no additional installation or configuration. The documentation for this part of the codebase is available in Bryntum Scheduling Engine API Docs.
Visualisation and UI
The visualisation and user interface part of the Gantt is based on Bryntum Grid and is written in plain JavaScript. So you can use most Grid features like for instance filtering, sorting or summarizing in the Gantt too. For more information about Grid capabilities, please visit the Grid Component documentation.
In a traditional setup, you will want to use frozen grid columns to the left and let the Gantt Timeline (which is a specialised grid) occupy the rest of the available space with a horizontal scrollbar to scroll the timeline. You can also associate as many extra grids as needed to improve even more the user experience.
