Implementing Syncfusion Blazor Kanban Component

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Building Kanban boards or workflow management UIs in Blazor
• Implementing task/card management with column-based workflows
• Adding swimlane grouping to organize cards by assignee or category
• Enabling drag-and-drop card movement between columns
• Configuring WIP (Work-In-Progress) validation limits
• Customizing card appearance with templates
• Binding Kanban to local or remote data sources
• Integrating Kanban with external components (Schedule, TreeView)

Quick Start

1. Install NuGet Packages

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes

2. Register Service (Program.cs)

using Syncfusion.Blazor;
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

3. Add Imports (_Imports.razor)

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban

4. Add Stylesheet and Script (index.html or App.razor)

<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

5. Basic Kanban with Cards

<SfKanban TValue="TasksModel" KeyField="Status" DataSource="Tasks">
    <KanbanColumns>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="To Do" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Open"})"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="In Progress" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"InProgress"})"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="Testing" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Testing"})"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="Done" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Close"})"></KanbanColumn>
    </KanbanColumns>
    <KanbanCardSettings HeaderField="Title" ContentField="Summary"></KanbanCardSettings>
</SfKanban>

@code {
    public class TasksModel
    {
        public string Id { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Status { get; set; }
        public string Summary { get; set; }
        public string Assignee { get; set; }
    }

    public List<TasksModel> Tasks = new List<TasksModel>()
    {
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 1", Title = "BLAZ-29001", Status = "Open", Summary = "Analyze the new requirements gathered from the customer.", Assignee = "Nancy Davloio" },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 2", Title = "BLAZ-29002", Status = "InProgress", Summary = "Improve application performance", Assignee = "Andrew Fuller" },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 3", Title = "BLAZ-29003", Status = "Open", Summary = "Arrange a web meeting with the customer.", Assignee = "Janet Leverling" },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 4", Title = "BLAZ-29004", Status = "Testing", Summary = "Fix the issues reported by the customer.", Assignee = "Janet Leverling" },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 5", Title = "BLAZ-29005", Status = "Close", Summary = "Fix the issues reported in Safari browser.", Assignee = "Steven walker" },
    };
}

Common Patterns

Kanban with Swimlane

<SfKanban TValue="TasksModel" KeyField="Status" DataSource="Tasks">
    <KanbanColumns>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="To Do" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Open"})"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="In Progress" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"InProgress"})"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="Done" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Close"})"></KanbanColumn>
    </KanbanColumns>
    <KanbanCardSettings HeaderField="Title" ContentField="Summary"></KanbanCardSettings>
    <KanbanSwimlaneSettings KeyField="Assignee"></KanbanSwimlaneSettings>
</SfKanban>

Kanban with WIP Validation

<SfKanban TValue="TasksModel" KeyField="Status" DataSource="Tasks">
    <KanbanColumns>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="Backlog" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Open"})" MinCount="2"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="In Progress" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"InProgress"})" MaxCount="3"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="Done" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Close"})"></KanbanColumn>
    </KanbanColumns>
    <KanbanCardSettings HeaderField="Title" ContentField="Summary"></KanbanCardSettings>
</SfKanban>

Kanban with Index-Based Sorting

<SfKanban TValue="TasksModel" KeyField="Status" DataSource="Tasks">
    <KanbanColumns>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="To Do" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Open"})"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="In Progress" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"InProgress"})"></KanbanColumn>
        <KanbanColumn HeaderText="Done" KeyField="@(new List<string>() {"Close"})"></KanbanColumn>
    </KanbanColumns>
    <KanbanCardSettings HeaderField="Title" ContentField="Summary"></KanbanCardSettings>
    <KanbanSortSettings SortBy="SortOrderBy.Index" Field="RankId"></KanbanSortSettings>
</SfKanban>
