[React Gannt] Context menu on an empty task list

rsallar

Hi, the context menu is a very convenient option to let users create and manage tasks.
Is it possible to start with an "empty table" and allow the user to create their first task with the context menu?
I've noticed that the menu only triggers when there is, at least, one row. Is it possible to allow right click outside or in an empty table? Or, is there a programatically way to open it?

Hello rsallar,

To allow the user to create their first task with the context menu, you can use resolver function, where you can define if an element needs a menu. And in filter function you can filter menu options depending on tasks.
Also you should set the options property to specifies a set of options for Context Menu.

Please check the example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-bd3ssnzk?file=src%2FGanttComponent.jsx

But keep in mind that the menu for the empty area will also be called in the chart if you click not on the task bars, but just next to them

Excellent, that works. Thank you!
