Intro to Event Types

There are a couple different types of events that can be rendered on a horizontal timeline. They are:

• box (default)
• point
• range
• background

Taking the horizontal timeline we just created in the previous note, let’s change our event to each type, one at a time.

Currently, our event looks like so:

<div class="ob-timelines"
  data-title="Our First Event"
  data-start-date="2024-5-24"
>
  Event Number One
</div>

When the event parameter data-type is not passed in, we automatically default it to box. For reference, such an event looks like so:
