Getting started with the EJ2 TypeScript Kanban control

21 Jul 202624 minutes to read

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

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure your environment meets the following requirements:

  • Node.js 16+ and npm 8+ installed.
  • A modern browser with ES6+ support (latest Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari).
  • A code editor such as Visual Studio Code.
  • Basic familiarity with the command line and TypeScript.

Supported themes and versions

The examples in this document use the Tailwind 3 theme. Other built-in themes that ship with the Kanban package are listed below; substitute tailwind3 in any @import path with one of these names to switch themes.

Theme CSS file
Tailwind 3 (default) tailwind3.css
Material 3 material3.css
Bootstrap 5 bootstrap5.css
Fluent 2 fluent2.css
High Contrast highcontrast.css

Refer to the themes documentation for the full list and CSS reference paths for individual controls.

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies is 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 the development environment

Use the following commands to scaffold a new TypeScript Vite application and start the development server:

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

The Vite dev server prints a local URL (for example, http://localhost:5173) — open it in a browser to view the app.

Add Syncfusion® JavaScript packages

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

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-kanban

This installs the Kanban package and its required peer dependencies.

Import the Syncfusion® CSS styles

Themes for Syncfusion® Kanban component can be applied using CSS files provided through npm theme packages. For available themes, refer to the Themes documentation.

Install the Tailwind 3 theme package using the following command:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme

Then add the following CSS reference to the src/App.css file:

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme/styles/kanban/index.css";

Initialize the Kanban

Add an HTML div element with an id attribute to index.html to serve as the host element for the Kanban control. The host element must have a defined height, otherwise the Kanban will not be visible.

[index.html]

    <div id="Kanban" style="height: 600px;"></div>
    <script type="module" src="/src/main.ts"></script>
</body>
</html>

Import the Kanban component into your src/main.ts file and initialize it on the element whose id is Kanban in index.html.

[src/main.ts]

import './style.css';
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 with the following command:

npm run dev

Vite prints a local URL (for example, http://localhost:5173). Open it in a browser to view the empty Kanban. The complete runnable sample is also available here:

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

Each card is rendered into a column based on the value of its Status field, which must match the keyField of the target column. 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 the default fields Id, Summary, and Status.

The expected dataSource JSON shape is:

[
    {
        Id: 'Task 1',
        Summary: 'Analyze the new requirements gathered from the customer.',
        Status: 'Open'
    },
    {
        Id: 'Task 2',
        Summary: 'Improve application performance.',
        Status: 'InProgress'
    },
    {
        Id: 'Task 3',
        Summary: 'Arrange a web meeting with the customer to get new requirements.',
        Status: 'Testing'
    },
    {
        Id: 'Task 4',
        Summary: 'Fix the issues reported in the IE browser.',
        Status: 'Close'
    }
]

The full set of default card fields recognized by the Kanban control is:

Field Purpose
Id Unique identifier for the card
Summary Card title shown on the card
Status Column key (must match a columns[].keyField)
Title Optional secondary heading
Description Optional body text
Assignee Used for swimlane grouping and avatar
Tags Comma-separated labels rendered on the card
Priority Used by the priority feature
DueDate Used by the due-date feature

To customize which fields appear on a card, use the cardSettings property; to add remote data fetching, see the dataSource configuration.

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

Swimlanes are enabled by mapping the swimlaneSettings.keyField property to a column name that exists in the dataSource (for example, Assignee). Cards are then grouped by the values in the mapped column. The mapped field must be present in every record of the dataSource; otherwise, those records fall into an empty swimlane.

The expected dataSource JSON shape when swimlanes are enabled is:

[
    { Id: 'Task 1', Summary: 'Analyze requirements', Status: 'Open',      Assignee: 'Andrew Fuller' },
    { Id: 'Task 2', Summary: 'Improve performance', Status: 'InProgress', Assignee: 'Janet Leverling' },
    { Id: 'Task 3', Summary: 'Web meeting',         Status: 'Testing',    Assignee: 'Andrew Fuller' }
]

The commonly used swimlaneSettings options are:

Option Purpose
keyField Data field used to group cards into swimlanes
textField Optional field used to render the swimlane header text
allowDragAndDrop Enables dragging cards across swimlanes (default true)
showItemCount Shows the count of cards in each swimlane
sortDirection Orders swimlanes (Ascending or Descending)

Refer to the swimlane configuration for the complete list of options.

Cannot find module '@syncfusion/ej2-kanban' Package was not installed or node_modules is stale Run npm install @syncfusion/ej2-kanban and restart the dev server
Styles are not being applied style.css is not imported into main.ts Add import './style.css'; at the top of src/main.ts
Port 5173 already in use Another Vite or local server is bound to the port Stop the other process, or run Vite on a different port: npm run dev -- --port 3000
npm create vite@latest prompts for input Running in an interactive terminal without flags Pass -- --template vanilla-ts to skip prompts, as shown in Set up the development environment
