Getting started with EJ2 TypeScript Kanban control

30 Jan 202624 minutes to read

This section explains how to create and configure the Kanban component in TypeScript using a Vite project with Essential® JS 2.

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the Kanban component in your application:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-kanban
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-icons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-layouts
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons

Set up development environment

Run the following commands to create a TypeScript Vite application and start the development server:

npm create vite@latest my-app

To set up a TypeScript application in a TypeScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template vanilla-ts
cd my-app
npm run dev

Add Syncfusion® JavaScript packages

All the available Essential® JS 2 packages are published in the Syncfusion npm registry.
To install the Kanban component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-kanban

Import the Syncfusion® CSS styles

Kanban CSS files are available in the ej2-kanban and its sub-component package folder. This can be referenced in the application using the following code.

In Vite project to use the Tailwind3 theme in the src/style.css file follow the code as shown below:

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-kanban/styles/tailwind3.css';

Refer to the themes documentation for built-in themes and CSS references for individual controls: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/appearance/theme/

Initialize the Kanban

Add an HTML div element with an id attribute to index.html, which serves as the host element for the Kanban control.

[index.html]

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />

</head>
<body>
    <!--Element where the Kanban will be rendered-->
    <div id="Kanban"></div>
</body>
</html>

Import the Kanban component to your main.ts file as follows and initialize it to the element defined with an id Kanban in the index.html file.

[src/main.ts]

import { Kanban } from '@syncfusion/ej2-kanban';

const kanbanObj: Kanban = new Kanban({
    columns: [
        { headerText: 'Backlog', keyField: 'Open' },
        { headerText: 'In Progress', keyField: 'InProgress' },
        { headerText: 'Testing', keyField: 'Testing' },
        { headerText: 'Done', keyField: 'Close' }
    ]
});
kanbanObj.appendTo('#Kanban');

Now, run the application in the browser using the following command.

npm run dev

The output will display the empty Kanban.

import { Kanban } from '@syncfusion/ej2-kanban';

const kanbanObj: Kanban = new Kanban({
    columns: [
        { headerText: 'Backlog', keyField: 'Open' },
        { headerText: 'In Progress', keyField: 'InProgress' },
        { headerText: 'Testing', keyField: 'Testing' },
        { headerText: 'Done', keyField: 'Close' }
    ],
});
kanbanObj.appendTo('#Kanban');

Populating cards

To populate the empty Kanban with cards, define local JSON data or remote data using the dataSource property. The data items must include fields relevant to the configured keyField. The example below uses default fields such as ID, Summary, and Status.

import { Kanban } from '@syncfusion/ej2-kanban';
import { kanbanData } from './datasource.ts';

const kanbanObj: Kanban = new Kanban({
    dataSource: kanbanData,
    keyField: 'Status',
    columns: [
        { headerText: 'Backlog', keyField: 'Open' },
        { headerText: 'In Progress', keyField: 'InProgress' },
        { headerText: 'Testing', keyField: 'Testing' },
        { headerText: 'Done', keyField: 'Close' }
    ],
    cardSettings: {
        contentField: 'Summary',
        headerField: 'Id',
    }
});
kanbanObj.appendTo('#Kanban');

Enable swimlane

Swimlane can be enabled by mapping the fields swimlaneSettings.keyField to appropriate column name in dataSource. This enables the grouping of the cards based on the mapped column values.

import { Kanban } from '@syncfusion/ej2-kanban';
import { kanbanData } from './datasource.ts';

const kanbanObj: Kanban = new Kanban({
    dataSource: kanbanData,
    keyField: 'Status',
    columns: [
        { headerText: 'Backlog', keyField: 'Open' },
        { headerText: 'In Progress', keyField: 'InProgress' },
        { headerText: 'Testing', keyField: 'Testing' },
        { headerText: 'Done', keyField: 'Close' }
    ],
    cardSettings: {
        contentField: 'Summary',
        headerField: 'Id',
    },
    swimlaneSettings: {
        keyField: 'Assignee'
    }
});
kanbanObj.appendTo('#Kanban');
