Api documentation

Gantt
#1

Hi
I’ve been experimenting with the Gantt chart and am very impressed with how it looks and feels.
I’m looking at integrating this component in a Java (Vaadin) setup.

For this I will have to mimick the javascript API’s.

Sadly the only API reference I find is on the website in combination with the sources on github. Trying to turn this into a java API is a LOT of work.

Do you have, or are you planning to release a more structured form of documentation? Perhaps in the form of an OpenApi specification? This would allow me to generate config, template, … classes with their respective default values automatically.

I think this could be beneficial for anyone wanting to integrate it.

Hello Tom,
Thank you for the positive feedback.

DHTMLX Gantt is a Javascript library. You can only run it inside the browser. So, you need to return an HTML page and add Gantt there.
The only thing you need to do is to integrate Gantt with the server-side part. The following article explains how it can be done:

We don’t have any guides or demos for Vaadin, but here is a demo for the Spring framework:
