This function requires a database with two collections for the Bryntum Gantt tasks and dependencies data:
- The tasks collection needs to have attributes matching the TaskModel fields that represent a Bryntum Gantt task.
- The dependencies collection needs to have attributes matching the DependencyModel fields that represent a Bryntum Gantt dependency.
Set the following environmental variables in your Appwrite console by navigating to the Settings tab of the function page:
- PROJECT_ID
- DATABASE_ID
- TASKS_COLLECTION_ID
- DEPENDENCIES_COLLECTION_ID
Authenticated requests to this function must include a JSON Web Token (JWT) created using Appwrite JWT authentication to ensure that only logged-in users can view or change data.
We'll set up Appwrite authentication on the client-side Bryntum Gantt and use the Appwrite client SDK to create a session when a user logs in to the app. Then, we'll use the session to create a JWT with Appwrite JWT authentication and add it to the authorization header of any requests made to this function.
The function returns tasks and dependencies data for GET requests. The returned response uses the load response structure expected by a Bryntum Gantt Crud Manager load request.
The function handles POST requests from Bryntum Gantt Crud Manager sync requests. The Crud Manager includes the changes for multiple linked data stores in a single request, which has a specific sync request structure. If the changes include the creation of a new record, the function uses the Crud Manager sync response structure to respond with the id of the newly created Appwrite, ensuring the client-side Bryntum Gantt has the correct id for the record.
