Dimensions in EJ2 JavaScript Kanban control

18 Apr 202310 minutes to read

The Kanban dimensions refers to both height and width of the entire layout and it accepts three types of values.

Auto
Pixel
Percentage

Auto height and width

When height and width of the Kanban are set to auto, it will try as hard as possible to keep an element the same width as its parent container. In other words, the parent container that holds Kanban, its width or height will be the sum of its children. By default, Kanban is assigned with auto values for both the height and width properties.

index.js
index.html
var kanbanObj = new ej.kanban.Kanban({
    dataSource: kanbanData,
    keyField: 'Status',
    columns: [
        { headerText: 'Backlog', keyField: 'Open' },
        { headerText: 'In Progress', keyField: 'InProgress' },
        { headerText: 'Testing', keyField: 'Testing' },
        { headerText: 'Done', keyField: 'Close' }
    ],
    width: 'auto',
    height: 'auto',
    cardSettings: {
        contentField: 'Summary',
        headerField: 'Id'
    }
});
kanbanObj.appendTo('#Kanban');
