How to use it:
1. To use this plugin, you need to load the following JavaScript and CSS files into the document.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/timeline.min.css"> <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="dist/timeline.min.js"></script>
2. Add your own events to the timeline using the data-timeline-node attribute and insert the event group into a normal html list as these:
<div id="myTimeline">
<ul class="timeline-events">
<li data-timeline-node="{ start:'2017-05-28 10:00',end:'2017-05-28 13:00',content:'Event Here' }">Event Label</li>
<li data-timeline-node="{ start:'2017-05-29 23:10',end:'2017-05-29 1:30',content:'<p>Event Here</p>' }">Event Label</li>
</ul>
</div>
3. Create an empty container to display the event details:
<div class="timeline-event-view"></div>
4. Initialize the plugin to generate a default timeline from the html list.
$("#myTimeline").timeline({
// options here
});
