Drawing a spreadsheet like grid in canvas with kon

I am working on a Gantt-like task display using HTML5 canvas, and the Konvajs canvas library.

Deconstructing a Gantt chart into its components leads me currently to a view as below. Here 1 is the list of tasks, 2 is the task bar area, 3 is a task bar, and 4 is a text cell.

For this question I am seeking code to construct 1 & 4. The data to be displayed will be delivered in plain JS objects with a nested list of tasks where each task has a number, name, assigned-to person name, start date, end date, days duration, and % complete.

So the requirement is to be able to construct a spreadsheet-like panel such as is seen on the left hand side of a Gantt chart.

I have something part developed which I shall post as an answer. However this seems like such as common need that I am hoping there is someone out there with code they can cut & paste into SO to lead the way.

Note: Gantt in sample image is from Vertex42.

So here is my own fumbling attempt at an approach. Can anyone improve upon it or am I going down the wrong road.

EDIT: I now have a fledgling component for drawing text into the spreadsheet-like cells, including the percent complete shading. To keep this answer uncluttered, this additional component is in this codepen.

// this is the object that defines our grid
// 
var gridData = { name: 'grid1', width: 350, height: 400, rowHeight: 24, padding: 4, fill: 'azure', gridLineColor: '#ccc',  header: {size: 16, fill: 'black', color: 'white' },  data: {size: 16, fill: 'azure', color: 'black' },  
  row: [
      { cells:   // row 1
        [
          { width: 50, text: 'Item', style: 'header'},
          { width: 240, text: 'Name', style: 'header'},
          { width: 60, text: 'Status', style: 'header'},
        ]
      },
      { cells:    // row 2
        [
          { text: '1'},
          { text: 'Find tea pot'},
          { text: '100%'},
        ]
      },
      { cells:    // row 3
        [
          { text: '2'},
          { text: 'Boil water'},
          { text: '60%'},
        ]
      }
  ]
}

// From here on could be wrapped into a component that churns out grids. Maybe you pass in the id of the stage container
// and the data model you want to produce, etc.

// Set up the canvas / stage
var stage = new Konva.Stage({container: 'container1', width: 600, height: 300});

// Add a layer 
var layer = new Konva.Layer({draggable: false});
stage.add(layer);

// make a main group for the grid, call it a panel. Assigning a name may be handy later
var panel = new Konva.Group({name: gridData.name});  
layer.add(panel);  // Add the panel to the layer

// a group has no visual properties. Add a background rect to hold the colour fill
var panelRect = new Konva.Rect({width: gridData.width, height: gridData.height, fill: gridData.fill}) 
panel.add(panelRect);

var topLeft = {x: 0, y: 0}; // Since we are drawing a grid, we need to compute the position of each cell
for (var i = 0; i < gridData.row.length; i = i + 1){

  topLeft.x = 0; // reset x at start of each row
  
  // iterate for each cell on the row
  for (var j = 0; j < gridData.row[i].cells.length; j = j + 1){

    var cell = new Konva.Rect({name: 'cellBg',                          // assign a name for later searching 
                               x: topLeft.x, y: topLeft.y,              // position as computed 
                               width:  gridData.row[0].cells[j].width,  // use the first row from celldate to get the cell width
                               height: gridData.rowHeight,              // grid has a uniform row height
                               stroke: gridData.gridLineColor,          // and line colour
                               strokeWidth: 1,                          // use a set line width but you can add to the gridData object as needed.
                               fill: (i === 0 ? gridData.header.fill : gridData.data.fill),              // use the given header text color
                              });
    panel.add(cell);

    // Add text to the cell. Note that if you wanted to be using alignments you would need to draw the text off-screen and 
    // get width/height of that text then use those values for positioning calculations. Once you have the rect size of the
    // text, all the alignments are simple math.
    var text = new Konva.Text({ x: topLeft.x + gridData.padding,        // add padding to locate the text nicely into the cell 
                               y: topLeft.y + gridData.padding, 
                                                                        // use the given text size
                               fontSize: (i === 0 ? gridData.header.size : gridData.data.size),

                               fill: (i === 0 ? gridData.header.color : gridData.data.color),              
                               text: gridData.row[i].cells[j].text,   // set the text value.
                               listening: false                       // stop text interfering with mouse events
                              });
    panel.add(text);
    
    cell.on('mouseover', function(evt){
      var shape = evt.target;
      $(shape).data('bgColor', shape.fill());
      shape.fill('lime');
      layer.draw();      
    })
    cell.on('mouseout', function(evt){
      var shape = evt.target;
      shape.fill($(shape).data('bgColor'));
      layer.draw();      
    })

    
    topLeft.x = topLeft.x + gridData.row[0].cells[j].width;             // offset the computed next cell x value by the width of the cell  
  }
