The Timeline/Graph2D is an interactive visualization chart to visualize data in time. The data items can take place on a single date, or have a start and end date (a range). You can freely move and zoom in the timeline by dragging and scrolling in the Timeline. Items can be created, edited, and deleted in the timeline. The time scale on the axis is adjusted automatically, and supports scales ranging from milliseconds to years.
Install via npm:
$ npm install vis-timeline
A basic example on loading a Timeline is shown below. More examples can be found in the examples directory of the project.

</html>To build the library from source, clone the project from github
$ git clone git://github.com/visjs/vis-timeline.git
The source code uses the module style of node (require and module.exports) to
organize dependencies. To install all dependencies and build the library,
run npm install in the root of the project.
$ cd vis-timeline
$ npm install
Then, the project can be build running:
$ npm run build
External dependencies such as moment, hammerjs can be excluded in the build by running:
$ npm run build -- -e [comma separated module names]
Example:
$ npm run build -- -e moment,hammerjs
To test the library, install the project dependencies once:
$ npm install
Then run the tests:
$ npm run test
Contributions to the vis.js library are very welcome! We can't do this alone!
