Getting Started

jqxKanban is a jQuery widget which can be used to implement the kanban method for a project.
Every UI widget from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

The first step is to create html page and add links to the javascript files and css dependencies to your project. The jqxKanban widget requires the following files:


The next step is to create html element within the body of the html document.

The last step is to initialize the widget by adding the following script to the html document: 
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#kanban').jqxKanban({
            resources: resourcesAdapterFunc(),
            source: dataAdapter,
            columns: [
                { text: "Backlog", dataField: "new" },
                { text: "In Progress", dataField: "work" },
                { text: "Done", dataField: "done" }
            ]
        });
    });
</script>

To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxKanban’s constructor. 
$("#jqxKanban").jqxKanban('removeItem', 'id1');
To get the result of a function after calling it, you can use the following syntax: 
var column = $("#jqxKanban").jqxKanban('getColumn', 'dataField1');
To set a property(option), you need to pass the property name and value(s) in the jqxKanban's constructor. 
$("#jqxKanban").jqxKanban({ headerHeight: 50 });
To get a property(option), you need to pass the property name to the jqxKanban's constructor. 
var headerHeight = $("#jqxKanban").jqxKanban('headerHeight');
To bind to an event of a UI widget, you can use basic jQuery syntax. Let’s suppose that you want to get the selected date after the user clicks on a cell. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to the ‘valuechanged’ event of jqxKanban. 
$('#jqxKanban').on('columnCollapsed', function (event) {
      
});
