Adding a custom editor dialog

To add your custom editor, you should:

  • Import the custom Form component for adding/editing tasks
  • Use the api.intercept method to disable opening the default editor by blocking the show-editor action (return false)
  • Add the Form tag, define tasks and taskTypes, and add the action handler function that triggers the update-task or delete-task action.
import { useEffect, useState, useRef } from "react";
import { getData } from "../data";
import { Gantt } from "wx-react-gantt";
import { Form } from "../custom/Form.jsx";

const MyComponent = () => {
const data = getData();
const taskTypes = [
{ id: "task", label: "Task" },
{ id: "milestone", label: "Milestone" },
{ id: "summary", label: "Project" },
];

const [task, setTask] = useState(null);
const apiRef = useRef(null);
const [store, setStore] = useState(null);

useEffect(() => {
if (apiRef.current) {
const api = apiRef.current;
setStore(api.getState().tasks);

api.intercept("show-editor", (data) => {
setTask(store.byId(data.id));
return false;
});
}
}, [apiRef.current, store]);

const formAction = (ev) => {
const { action, data } = ev;

switch (action) {
case "close-form":
setTask(null);
break;

default:
apiRef.current.exec(action, data); // "update-task", "delete-task" actions
break;
}
};

return (
<>
<Gantt
apiRef={apiRef}
tasks={data.tasks}
links={data.links}
scales={data.scales}
/>

{task && <Form task={task} taskTypes={taskTypes} onAction={formAction} />}
</>
);
};

export default MyComponent;
