Directus Extension Timeline

This project implements the Timeline Devix - a timeline of events - in different viewing modes (Layout Options) of Directus Collections.

• Timeline (layout)
• Multi-timeline (layout)
• 🛠 How to use
• 🚀 Upcoming updates

🍎 Timeline

When selecting the Timeline layout in the "Layout Options" menu, some fields will appear to indicate which content the Timeline will receive. Of these, some are essential for the proper functioning of the Timeline. Are they:

• Title - string.
• Expected date and Completion date - which only accepts Date() format with date and time;

"2023-04-26T19:30:00.000Z"

• Status - Only accepts registered fields as "select-dropdown" - which so far is prepared for specific data:

'planned' | 'completed' | 'canceled' | 'postponed' | 'delayed' | 'early';

Non-essentials field, but with specific characteristics:

• Criticality - Only accepts registered fields as "select-dropdown" - which so far is prepared for specific data:

'high' | 'medium' | 'low';

• The category field currently only accepts the icon type (select-icon).

🍒 Multi-timeline

The Multi-timeline follows the same filling pattern as the previous one, just with one more field, which is the field responsible for grouping the items and consequently creating multiple timelines on the screen. This area only accepts fields of the type 'select-dropdown'.
