Persistence in EJ2 TypeScript Kanban control

18 Apr 20233 minutes to read

State persistence refers to the Kanban state maintained in the browser’s localStorage even if the browser is refreshed or if you move to the next page within the browser.

State persistence stores Kanban datasource, column and swimlane expand/collapse state in the local storage when the enablePersistence is defined as true.

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

let kanbanObj: Kanban = new Kanban({
    dataSource: kanbanData,
    keyField: 'Status',
    enablePersistence: true,
    columns: [
        { headerText: 'Backlog', keyField: 'Open', allowToggle: true },
        { headerText: 'In Progress', keyField: 'InProgress', allowToggle: true },
        { headerText: 'Testing', keyField: 'Testing', allowToggle: true },
        { headerText: 'Done', keyField: 'Close', allowToggle: true }
