4d-gantt-chart

🚀 4D Gantt

📖 About

This package has started as an idea to create Gantt Chart suited for the construction industry. The inital code was inspired by the blog of Artem aka @shybovycha. The project is open source and can be found here.

📝 Description

This library is developed to fill a gap in the opensource community for tools that could deal with schedules in construction in general. The main focus of the library is the ability to play animation using the timeline so it could integrate with other tools like BIM and libraries like ifc.js and three.js.

This library is part of a suite of libraries developed primairly for planners and project controllers like the PyP6XER library that can be used to read and write P6 XER files.

The package is developed using TypeScript and it is still work in progress.

📦 Installation

The plan for the package is to be published on npmjs.com. However, it is not ready yet. The package can be installed using the following command:

npm install 4d-gantt
