@Gerandon/vis-timeline
This package is a modified version of the original vis-timeline
The main differences between this and the origin one are the following:
| Modified | Short Description |
|---|---|
| Position calculation fix for Dragged element drag position and cursor current position | Previously when we dragged an element, the cursor position and the element start/end position were aligned while dragging. But this calculation was created with an offset handle method and the calculation of this offset was depending on the actual timeline window start/end (because it was calcualted with pixels on the screen). After the implementation of the horizontal scroll, the problem became visible, and that offset calculation was wrong. That is fixed now |
| Horizontal scroll while dragging an element | There was no possibility to implement Horizontal scrolling while dragging an element. We had the possibility to create a fix outside the box on the implementaiton side, but because of the already mentioned Position caluclation problem, it was buggy. So basically, together with that fix, the horizontal scroll was added too |
| Snap implemented to item by item (not just as timeline option) | Currently we have the opportunity to define a Snap function, but only timeline wide. So only as a timeline option. Now we can define that snap function item-by-item too |
| Added dragMouseEvent to TimelineItem as new property | While dragging, the mouse event will be propagated as TimeLineItem property to the implementation side. This way we will be able to track mouse event on impl. side. |
You can check these feature in on ../vis-timeline/examples/timeline/editing/horizontalScrollWhileDrag.html
#Original package documenation
vis-timeline
The Timeline/Graph2D is an interactive visualization chart to visualize data in time. The data items can take place on a single date, or have a start and end date (a range). You can freely move and zoom in the timeline by dragging and scrolling in the Timeline. Items can be created, edited, and deleted in the timeline. The time scale on the axis is adjusted automatically, and supports scales ranging from milliseconds to years.

Install
Install via npm:
$ npm install vis-timeline
Example
A basic example on loading a Timeline is shown below. More examples can be found in the examples directory of the project.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Timeline</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/standalone/umd/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/styles/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="visualization"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// DOM element where the Timeline will be attached
var container = document.getElementById('visualization');
// Create a DataSet (allows two way data-binding)
var items = new vis.DataSet([
{id: 1, content: 'item 1', start: '2014-04-20'},
{id: 2, content: 'item 2', start: '2014-04-14'},
{id: 3, content: 'item 3', start: '2014-04-18'},
{id: 4, content: 'item 4', start: '2014-04-16', end: '2014-04-19'},
{id: 5, content: 'item 5', start: '2014-04-25'},
{id: 6, content: 'item 6', start: '2014-04-27', type: 'point'}
]);
// Configuration for the Timeline
var options = {};
// Create a Timeline
var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, items, options);

</html>Builds
There are four builds provided at the moment.
Standalone build
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/standalone/umd/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.js"
></script>import { Timeline } from "vis-timeline/standalone";This has no dependencies and therefore is great for things like MWEs but has more issues with interoperability and bundle bloat. For more information see the following example.
Peer build
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/peer/umd/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.js"
></script>import { Timeline } from "vis-timeline/peer";For this build to work you have to load Vis Data and Moment (including locales except English) packages yourself. The advantage here is that it works well with other packages. For more information see the following example.
ESNext build
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/esnext/umd/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.js"
></script>import { Timeline } from "vis-timeline/esnext";This is the same as the peer build but without any bundled dependencies or pollyfills. It's indented to be used with bundlers like Rollup or Webpack which will fetch the dependencies, prevent duplicate dependencies in the bundle, use transpilers to add necessary polyfills etc.
Legacy build
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/dist/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.js"
></script>import { Timeline } from "vis-timeline";This is solely kept for backwards compatibility. It is deprecated and will be removed in case of URLs and replaced by the peer build in case of Node.js/bundlers. Don't use this, please.
Build
To build the library from source, clone the project from github
$ git clone git://github.com/visjs/vis-timeline.git
The source code uses the module style of node (require and module.exports) to
organize dependencies. To install all dependencies and build the library,
run npm install in the root of the project.
$ cd vis-timeline
$ npm install
Then, the project can be build running:
$ npm run build
Excluding external dependencies
External dependencies such as moment, hammerjs can be excluded in the build by running:
$ npm run build -- -e [comma separated module names]
Example:
$ npm run build -- -e moment,hammerjs
Test
To test the library, install the project dependencies once:
$ npm install
Then run the tests:
$ npm run test
