getData()

Description​

Gets a promise with an array of tasks and links objects
info

The getData() method is a part of the RestDataProvider service intended for working with a server

Usage​

function getData() {
  return Promise.resolve([]);
}

Response​

The getData() method sends a request to the server by the GET method and returns a promise with data on links and tasks. For the examples of returned objects, see tasks and linksю

Examples​

import { useState, useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import { Gantt } from "wx-react-gantt";
import { RestDataProvider } from "wx-gantt-data-provider";

const GanttComponent = () => {
    const url = "https://some_backend_url";
    const server = new RestDataProvider(url);
    const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([]);
    const [links, setLinks] = useState([]);
    const apiRef = useRef();

    useEffect(() => {
        server.getData().then(data => {
            setTasks(data.tasks);
            setLinks(data.links);
        });
    }, []);

    return (
        <Gantt
            tasks={tasks}
            links={links}
            apiRef={apiRef}
        />
    );
};

export default GanttComponent;

parseDates() method​

Description: getData() applies the parseDates() method to parse dates (start, end, base_start, base_end from tasks) to Date object (as new Date(string)).

Usage: 

const parseDates = (task) => task;

If you need to change the parsing method, you can redefine it as in the example below: create a new class for RestDataProvider, set the required parsing method using the parseDates() method, and then apply this new class for RestDataProvider. 

class MyProvider extends RestDataProvider {
  parseDates(task) {
    // parse dates by method you like
    return task;
  }
}

const restProvider = new MyProvider(serverUrl);
