Resources
The Gantt allows you to assign resources to tasks. A resource is optional metadata that can be associated with a Gantt task.
The resources are set through the Resources configuration method.
Assignments
An assignment is a one-to-one mapping between a Gantt task and a Gantt resource containing the number of units for which a resource is assigned to a task.
The assignments are set through the Assignments configuration method.
The following example demonstrates how to set resources in the Gantt and how to map them to tasks by setting assignments.

// Send the dates for the newly creted/updated tasks as UTC strings
