Why Another Gantt Chart Library?

SVAR Gantt is built with React developers in mind. It's easy-to-use, highly customizable, and designed to save you hours of development time. Not only it provides the most essential Gantt diagram features, it also handles big amounts of data with lightling-fast performance.

Whether you're building a project management tool, a scheduling system, or any application that needs timeline visualization, you can have a visually appealing, interactive Gantt chart up and running with minimal effort.

What's Inside?

✅ Core Task Management

SVAR React Gantt component provides essential task management capabilities right out of the box. Let your users create, edit, and delete tasks through a simple form. The duration and start/end dates of the tasks can also be edited directly on the timeline with drag-and-drop.

The component supports three task types to work with: Task, Summary task (auto-calculated based on sub-tasks), and Milestone.

Each task bar displays progress as a percentage, which users can modify. You can also set up the summary tasks to automatically calculate the progress taking into account all the sub-tasks.

All dependencies can be managed via form or direct timeline interaction.

It supports:

• Drag-and-drop task editing
• User-friendly task edit form
• Visual progress tracking
• Task reordering in the grid
