Handle Header Double-Click in Angular Kanban Component

2 Sep 20253 minutes to read

The Kanban component does not provide a built-in event for handling column header double-clicks. You can bind the header double click event using dataBound event at initial rendering. You can get the column header text when double click the headers.

The following sample demonstrates how to handle a double-click action on a column header:

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { KanbanModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-kanban'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CardSettingsModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-kanban';
import { DialogUtility } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';
import { closest } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { kanbanData } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        KanbanModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<ejs-kanban keyField='Status' [dataSource]='data' [cardSettings]='cardSettings'  (dataBound)='OnDataBound()'>
                <e-columns>
                  <e-column headerText='To do' keyField='Open'></e-column>
                  <e-column headerText='In Progress' keyField='InProgress'></e-column>
                  <e-column headerText='Testing' keyField='Testing'></e-column>
                  <e-column headerText='Done' keyField='Close'></e-column>
                </e-columns>
            </ejs-kanban>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    public data: Object[] = kanbanData;
    public cardSettings: CardSettingsModel = {
        contentField: 'Summary',
        headerField: 'Id'
    };
    OnDataBound(): void {
        let headerEle: HTMLElement = document.querySelector('.e-header-row') as HTMLElement;
        headerEle.addEventListener("dblclick", function (e: Event) {
            let target = closest((<HTMLElement>e.target), '.e-header-cells');
            DialogUtility.alert({
                title: 'Header',
                content: "Double clicked on " + (<HTMLElement>target.querySelector('.e-header-text')).innerText + " header",
                showCloseIcon: true,
                closeOnEscape: true,
                animationSettings: { effect: 'Zoom' }
            });
        });
    }
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
