Dynamic Resource Availability

The options of the timeline can be dynamically changed. That applies to both the color and invalid options which control the resource track background colors and their valid state.

Based on the type of event someone wants to add or create we can highlight resources that support that type of event and invalidate resources that don't.

In the following example we have two types of tasks/events: HW for Hardware and SW for Software tasks. We also have two teams or two groups of resources: HW Team and SW Team. What we want to do is enforce event creation for teams based on the type of event: HW for the hardware team and SW for the software team.

We'll use the onEventDragStart and onEventDragEnd lifecycle events to highlight & invalidate and then set everything back to the default state. We have access to the event.category through the lifecycle event's args.
