ScheduleJS
ScheduleJS is a JavaScript implementation of most of the features found in FlexGanttFX. It is being developed by AISO in Geneva, a partner company of DLSC Software & Consulting GmbH.
- ScheduleJS is the most advanced Javascript-based scheduling framework currently available for Javascript.
- It is developed in TypeScript using the famous and powerful Angular framework for web applications.
- It is using the same API as the FlexGanttFX framework (JavaFX-based most advanced Gantt charting framework). As ScheduleJs is build on the same fondations as FlexGanttFX, migration of existing JavaFX applications to a TypeScript version using ScheduleJs is very easy (see sample source code comparison).
- ScheduleJS version 1.0 is implementing the most important features of FlexGanttFX in order to already be able to create powerful customized applications. The team is currently working closely with FlexGanttFX developer team to implement missing functionalities in future versions.
