How to Create Resource Chart with JavaScript

October 16th, 2023 by Awan Shrestha

Resource ChartIn today’s data-driven world, data visualization simplifies complex information and empowers individuals to make informed decisions. One particularly valuable chart type is the Resource Chart, which facilitates efficient resource allocation. This tutorial will be your essential guide to creating dynamic resource charts using JavaScript.

A resource chart is a type of Gantt chart that visualizes data about resource utilization, such as equipment, employees, and so on. It provides a comprehensive overview, making it easier to make informed decisions promptly. As an illustrative example, in this tutorial, I will represent the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar schedule by stadium, enabling you to track when and where each game took place.

Get your coding boots ready, and by the end of this guide, you’ll be well-equipped to create your own JS-based resource chart and have a valuable tool at your disposal for tracking your next favorite tournament, or servers status, or employee project assignments, or anything else of that kind.
