How to use it:

1. Install and import the gantt chart component.

import { 
  SVGGantt, // SVG Chart
  CanvasGantt, // Canvas Chart
  StrGantt // SVG Strings
} from 'gantt';

2. Create an empty container to hold the Gantt Chart.

<!-- SVG Chart -->
<div id="svg-example"></div>
<!-- Canvas Chart -->
<canvas id="canvas-example"></canvas>

3. Prepare your data as follows:

const data = [{
  /* id: number,
  parent: number,
  text: string,
  start: Date,
  end: Date,
  percent: number,
  links: Array<Link>
  */
  id: 1,
  type: 'group',
  text: '1 Waterfall model',
  start: new Date('2018-10-10T09:24:24.319Z'),
  end: new Date('2018-12-12T09:32:51.245Z'),
  percent: 0.71,
  links: []
}, {
  id: 11,
  parent: 1,
  text: '1.1 Requirements',
  start: new Date('2018-10-21T09:24:24.319Z'),
  end: new Date('2018-11-22T01:01:08.938Z'),
  percent: 0.29,
  links: [{
    target: 12,
    type: 'FS' // 'FS' | 'FF' | 'SS' | 'SF'
  }]
}, {
  id: 12,
  parent: 1,
  text: '1.2 Design',
  start: new Date('2018-11-05T09:24:24.319Z'),
  end: new Date('2018-12-12T09:32:51.245Z'),
  percent: 0.78,
}];

4. Render your data in the Gantt Charts.

// SVG Chart
new SVGGantt('#svg-example', data, {
    // options
});
// Canvas Chart
new CanvasGantt('#canvas-root', data, {
    // options
});
// SVG Strings
const strGantt = new StrGantt(data, {
      // options
});
this.body = strGantt.render();
