Hi guys,
I work within a small team and we have been so bogged down under new feature requests and bug fixes over the past 6 months that we haven't had a chance to upgrade Bryntum Gantt or Scheduler (we use both) past v5.1.3.
Now I have finally been asked to complete an upgrade to v5.3.0, but am struggling to do so. I have replaced the v5.1.3 files that we were using with their v5.3.0 equivalents, but am getting many TypeScript errors across our entire application now.
I have fixed many of those simply by being explicit about the types we are using. For example, we had the following code:
const toolbar = new Toolbar({
overflow: null,
items: [
{
type: 'button',
color: 'b-blue',
id: 'addAbsence',
icon: 'b-fa b-fa-plus',
tooltip: {
html: 'Add Absence<div style="font-size: 80%">Adds a new absence for the selected resource(s)</div>',
newInstance: true // This line causes an error
},
...more configuration of the first item
}
...more toolbar items, all with similar tooltips that don't work
]
});
This worked fine in v5.1.3, but it is now seemingly necessary to write the Toolbar
like this:
const toolbar = new Toolbar({
overflow: null,
items: [
{
type: 'button',
color: 'b-blue',
id: 'addAbsence',
icon: 'b-fa b-fa-plus',
tooltip: {
html: 'Add Absence<div style="font-size: 80%">Adds a new absence for the selected resource(s)</div>',
newInstance: true
} as Partial<TooltipConfig>,
...more configuration of the first item
}
...more toolbar items
]
});
Otherwise I get the following in Visual Studio's error list: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Or-88ZGOa9TSc4iF4ncu0gYsJ-1HTWXz/view?usp=share_link.
So my first question is this: why is it necessary to explicitly cast the object to a Partial<TooltipConfig>
? Shouldn't your TypeScript definitions handle this for me?
This is just one example of about 20 similar errors that make it seem to me as though your TypeScript definitions file (gantt.d.ts
) is missing some crucial stuff.
Secondly, if I simply ignore the vast majority of TS errors and try to load a page on which I'm importing the Scheduler
component, I get this in the Chrome DevTools console: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KH2bNgEuo8U7weTuNTg-JaTo6jGc8Ebi/view?usp=share_link.
So what is the proper procedure needed for localization to work?
Many thanks in advance for your prompt and informative reply
P.S. If possible, could you please reply to kent.cooper@outputlogic.com.au, since I am using my boss' email address to access these forums and don't want to bother him with any replies that are irrelevant to him. Thank you
