    <div class="content-wrapper">
        <ejs-kanban #kanbanObj 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>

</div>
import { Component, ViewChild, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { extend } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { KanbanComponent, CardSettingsModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-kanban';
import { kanbanData } from './data';

@Component({
    selector: 'control-content',
    templateUrl: 'default.html',
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class DefaultComponent {
    @ViewChild('kanbanObj') kanbanObj: KanbanComponent;
    public kanbanData: Object[] = extend([], kanbanData, null, true) as Object[];
    public cardSettings: CardSettingsModel = {
        contentField: 'Summary',
        headerField: 'Id',
        tagsField: 'Tags',
        grabberField: 'Color',
        footerCssField: 'ClassName'
    };
}

Data binding

Data binds seamlessly with various local and remote data sources, such as: JSON, RESTful services, OData services, and WCF services.

Angular Kanban loads data on demand by default to reduce transfer and load times. Proper field mapping is mandatory when binding Kanban to the data sources with different field names.

Data binding options available in Angular Kanban.


Workflow

The Kanban restrict or allow card transitions from one column to another to maintain a controlled workflow process.


Work in progress (WIP) limits

Users can set limits to the card count at each stage of Kanban workflow to avoid working on multiple tasks. Kanban columns visually change its appearance when validation fails.


Flexible layout

By default, Angular Kanban has a simple layout with cards and columns. But users can create complex Kanban boards based on their application needs and integrate with any team in an organization.


Card options

A card is the main element of Kanban board that provides clear representation of tasks and flows across various stages.

Angular Kanban drag and drop.

Angular Kanban multiple selection.

Selection

Easily select multiple cards using mouse, keyboard, or touch interfaces. You can also make multiple selection of cards by pressing the Shift key.


Columns

The Kanban board divides its layout as columns to visualize the different stages of work, e. g. to-do, validate, in-progress, testing, and completed.

Expand/Collapse column

Built-in support is available for expanding and collapsing the columns by interaction and programmatically. Users can also control the collapsible behavior on page load.

Angular Kanban multiple key.

Multi-key

Users can map multiple keys to single columns to group similar columns. i.e., development column has implementation, review, and testing.


Card editing

Angular Kanban provides full support to create, read, update, and delete operations (CRUD) on cards. In addition to built-in editing through dialog, users can create a template that suits their application needs. Editing operations are performed with the help of a data manager.


Stacked header

Angular Kanban allows you to add additional headers to group the logically related columns above the column header in a stacked manner.


Swimlane

Visually split the Kanban board horizontally to categorize the cards based on key i.e., assignee, project, or type. Users can customize the swimlane header with templates and control the visibility of empty rows and items count in a swimlane row.


Frozen rows

The Swimlane frozen rows option makes the rows always visible at the top when scrolling the content. It is mainly used to show corresponding swimlane rows.


Tooltip

Display card information with a default tooltip or customized tooltip template.


Templating

Users can customize the UI elements of Kanban using templates i.e., column header, cards, swimlane header, and tooltip.

Developer-friendly APIs
