Adding tooltips

Adding a default tooltip

To add a default tooltip that displays the task name, do the following:

  • import the Tooltip component from Gantt
  • wrap the Gantt tag into the Tooltip tag
  • pass the api object to the Tooltip component

Example:

import { getData } from "../data";
import { Gantt, Tooltip } from "wx-react-gantt";
import { useRef, useEffect } from "react";

function MyComponent() {
const data = getData();
const apiRef = useRef();

useEffect(() => {
if (apiRef.current) {
// perform any operations with apiRef
}
}, [apiRef]);

return (
<Tooltip api={apiRef.current}>
<Gantt
tasks={data.tasks}
links={data.links}
scales={data.scales}
apiRef={apiRef}
/>
</Tooltip>
);
}

export default MyComponent;

Adding a custom tooltip

To add a custom template to a tooltip:

  • import the Tooltip component from Gantt
  • prepare you custom React template
  • import your custom template
  • add the name of the template as the value of the Tooltip content attribute
  • wrap the Gantt tag into the Tooltip tag
  • pass the api object to the Tooltip component

Example:

import { getData } from "../data";
import { Gantt, Tooltip } from "wx-react-gantt";
import MyTooltipContent from "../custom/MyTooltipContent.jsx";
import { useRef } from "react";

const ExampleComponent = () => {
const data = getData();
const apiRef = useRef();

return (
<Tooltip api={apiRef.current} content={MyTooltipContent}>
<Gantt
tasks={data.tasks}
links={data.links}
scales={data.scales}
apiRef={apiRef}
/>
</Tooltip>
);
};

export default ExampleComponent;

Below is an example of the custom template for a tooltip:

import { format } from "date-fns";

const DataComponent = ({ data }) => {
const mask = "yyyy.MM.dd";

if (!data) return null;

return (
<div className="data">
<div className="text">
<span className="caption">{data.type}:</span>
{data.text}
</div>
<div className="text">
<span className="caption">start:</span>
{format(data.start, mask)}
</div>
{data.end && (
<div className="text">
<span className="caption">end:</span>
{format(data.end, mask)}
</div>
)}
</div>
);
};

export default DataComponent;
.data {
white-space: nowrap;
background-color: var(--wx-tooltip-background);
padding: 3px 8px;
}

.text {
font-family: var(--wx-font-family);
color: var(--wx-color-primary-font);
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: capitalize;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}

.text:last-child {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

.caption {
font-weight: 700;
}
