Pluggable components to add a trello like kanban board to your application
- responsive and extensible
- easily pluggable into existing application
- supports pagination when scrolling individual lanes
- drag-and-drop within and across lanes (compatible with touch devices)
- event bus for triggering events externally (e.g.: adding or removing cards based on events emanating from backend)
npm install --save react-trello
The Board
component takes a prop called data
that contains all the details related to rendering the board. A sample data json is given here to illustrate the contract:
const data = {
lanes: [
{
id: 'lane1',
title: 'Planned Tasks',
label: '2/2',
cards: [
{id: 'Card1', title: 'Write Blog', description: 'Can AI make memes', label: '30 mins'},
{id: 'Card2', title: 'Pay Rent', description: 'Transfer via NEFT', label: '5 mins', metadata: {sha: 'be312a1'}}
]
},
{
id: 'lane2',
title: 'Completed',
label: '0/0',
cards: []
}
]
}
The data is fed to the board component and that's it.
import React from 'react'
import {Board} from 'react-trello'
export default class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return <Board data={data} />
}
}
Refer to storybook for detailed examples: https://rcdexta.github.io/react-trello/
Also please refer to this sample project that uses react-trello: https://github.com/rcdexta/react-trello-example
This is the container component that encapsulates the lanes and cards
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
draggable | boolean | Makes all cards in the lanes draggable. Default: false |
handleDragStart | function | Callback function triggered when card drag is started: handleDragStart(cardId, laneId) |
handleDragEnd | function | Callback function triggered when card drag ends: handleDragEnd(cardId, sourceLaneId, targetLaneId) |
onLaneScroll | function | Called when a lane is scrolled to the end: onLaneScroll(requestedPage, laneId) |
onCardClick | function | Called when a card is clicked: onCardClick(cardId, metadata) |
laneSortFunction | function | Used to specify the logic to sort cards on a lane: laneSortFunction(card1, card2) |
eventBusHandle | function | This is a special function that providers a publishHook to pass new events to the board. See details in Publish Events section |
onDataChange | function | Called everytime the data changes due to user interaction or event bus: onDataChange(newData) |
Refer to tests for more detailed info about the components
When defining the board, it is possible to obtain a event hook to the component to publish new events later after the board has been rendered. Refer the example below:
let eventBus = undefined
let setEventBus = (handle) => {
eventBus = handle
}
//To add a card
eventBus.publish({type: 'ADD_CARD', laneId: 'COMPLETED', card: {id: "M1", title: "Buy Milk", label: "15 mins", description: "Also set reminder"}})
//To remove a card
eventBus.publish({type: 'REMOVE_CARD', laneId: 'PLANNED', cardId: "M1"})
<Board data={data}
eventBusHandle={setEventBus}/>
The code will move the card Buy Milk
from the planned lane to completed lane. We expect that this library can be wired to a backend push api that can alter the state of the board in realtime.
You can completely customize the look-and-feel of each card in any lane by passing in a custom component as child to the Board as seen below:
<Board data={data} customCardLayout>
<CustomCard />
</Board>
customCardLayout
prop must be set to true for the custom card to be rendered
A json content of the card and the card template must agree on the props and everything should work as expected:
const CustomCard = props => {
return (
<div>
<header
style={{borderBottom: '1px solid #eee', paddingBottom: 6, marginBottom: 10,
display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-between',
color: props.cardColor
}}
>
<div style={{ fontSize: 14, fontWeight: 'bold' }}>{props.name}</div>
<div style={{ fontSize: 11 }}>{props.dueOn}</div>
</header>
<div style={{ fontSize: 12, color: '#BD3B36' }}>
<div style={{ color: '#4C4C4C', fontWeight: 'bold' }}>{props.subTitle}</div>
<div style={{ padding: '5px 0px' }}><i>{props.body}</i></div>
<div style={{ marginTop: 10, textAlign: 'center', color: props.cardColor, fontSize: 15, fontWeight: 'bold' }}>
{props.escalationText}
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
const data = {
lanes: [
{
id: 'lane1',
title: 'Planned Tasks',
cards: [
{
id: 'Card1',
name: 'John Smith',
dueOn: 'due in a day',
subTitle: 'SMS received at 12:13pm today',
body: 'Thanks. Please schedule me for an estimate on Monday.',
escalationText: 'Escalated to OPS-ESCALATIONS!',
cardColor: '#BD3B36',
cardStyle: { borderRadius: 6, boxShadow: '0 0 6px 1px #BD3B36', marginBottom: 15 }
},
{
id: 'Card2',
name: 'Card Weathers',
dueOn: 'due now',
subTitle: 'Email received at 1:14pm',
body: 'Is the estimate free, and can someone call me soon?',
escalationText: 'Escalated to Admin',
cardColor: '#E08521',
cardStyle: { borderRadius: 6, boxShadow: '0 0 6px 1px #E08521', marginBottom: 15 }
}
]
}
]
}
As you can see, there is no limit to level of customization that can be done as long as the custom template knows what props to render from the card son
