This section briefly explains how to create Kanban component and configure its available functionalities in VueJS Environment.
You can use Vue CLI
to setup your vue applications.
To install Vue CLI use the following command.
npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-init
Create a new Vue project using the following Vue CLI
command.
vue init webpack-simple quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install
All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
registry.
Install the Kanban
component by using the below npm command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-kanban --save
The —save will instruct NPM to include the Kanban package inside of the
dependencies
section of thepackage.json
.
Kanban CSS files are available in the ej2-vue-kanban
and its sub-component package folder. It should be referenced as given below within the <style>
section of App.vue
file.
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-kanban/styles/material.css';
Import the Kanban plugin in your application from the ej2-vue-kanban
package as given below and register the same using Vue.use()
.
import { KanbanPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-kanban';
Vue.use(KanbanPlugin);
By Registering Kanban plugin in Vue, all its child directives are also globally registered.
Add the EJ2 Vue Kanban using <ejs-kanban>
to the <template>
section of the App.vue
file in src directory.
<template>
<div id='app'>
<ejs-kanban id="kanban" keyField="Status">
<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>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { KanbanPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-kanban';
Vue.use(KanbanPlugin);
export default { }
</script>
<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-kanban/styles/material.css';
</style>
The output will display the kanban header.
To populate the empty Kanban with cards, define the local JSON data or remote data using the dataSource
property. To define dataSource
, the mandatory fields in JSON object should be relevant to keyField
. In the following example, you can see the cards defined with default fields such as ID, Summary, and Status.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-kanban id="kanban" keyField="Status" :dataSource="kanbanData"
:cardSettings="cardSettings">
<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>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { KanbanPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-kanban';
import { extend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { kanbanData } from './datasource.js';
Vue.use(KanbanPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return {
kanbanData: extend([], kanbanData, null, true),
cardSettings: {
contentField: "Summary",
headerField: "Id",
}
};
},
}

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.
