syncfusion-react-timeline — Claude Code skill: React timelines
Tells your agent how to build event chronologies with the Syncfusion Timeline component for React. Useful for roadmaps, shipping tracking and activity feeds.
npx skills add syncfusion/react-ui-components-skills --skill syncfusion-react-timeline -a claude-codeWhat syncfusion-react-timeline does
The skill covers TimelineComponent from @syncfusion/ej2-react-layouts: vertical and horizontal orientation, the Before, After, Alternate and AlternateReverse alignment modes, and reverse for newest-first order. Examples use ItemsDirective and ItemDirective, with dot styling through dotCss, custom templates and the created and beforeItemRender events.
Reference files go deeper: npm install and theme setup, layout configuration, item content, connector and dot styling, templates, accessibility. One section explains when to pick Timeline over Stepper, a list or a chart, which saves you a round of guessing.
For the examples to render, your project needs the @syncfusion/ej2-react-layouts package and a theme CSS import such as @syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/tailwind3.css. Skip those imports and you get an unstyled list where the timeline should be.
What it helps with
- build a vertical chronology of project milestones
- show shipping steps with dates
- render an activity feed with the latest event on top
- lay out a career history or roadmap
- style dots with custom icons and colors
Example prompts for the agent
- Build a vertical project milestone timeline with TimelineComponent
- Create a horizontal shipping timeline using Alternate alignment
- Show the activity feed in reverse order with reverse
