🚀 Create PERT Charts Easily in React with react-pert

PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is a powerful method for project scheduling and task dependency visualization. I created react-pert from scratch to provide an easy way to implement PERT diagrams in React applications! 🎯

This open-source library lets you create, customize, and interact with PERT charts effortlessly.

✨ Features

✅ Interactive PERT diagram rendering
✅ Task dependencies & critical path calculation
✅ Customizable styles & layout
✅ Easy integration with React hooks
✅ Open-source and developer-friendly

📦 Installation

To get started, install react-pert using npm or yarn:

npm install react-pert
# or
yarn add react-pert

🚀 Getting Started

1️⃣ Import & Setup the Provider

Wrap your app with PertProvider to manage the PERT chart state.

import { PertProvider } from "react-pert";

const App = () => {
  return (
    
      
    
  );
}

2️⃣ Define Tasks & Render the PERT Chart
Create an array of tasks with dependencies and durations, then render Pert.

import { Pert, type TaskInput } from "react-pert";

const tasks: TaskInput[] = [
  { key: "1", duration: 5, text: "A" },
  { key: "2", duration: 4, text: "B" },
  { key: "3", duration: 2, text: "C", dependsOn: ["1"] },
  { key: "4", duration: 3, text: "D", dependsOn: ["2", "3"] },
];

const MyPERTChart = () => {
  return ;
}

🎉 Congratulations!
