Create a new Blazor WebAssembly (Standalone) App

Create a Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Blazor Extension.

Run the following command to create a new Blazor WebAssembly App.

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Alternatively, create a Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Blazor Extension, or the C# Dev Kit extension.

Run the following command to create a new Blazor WebAssembly App.

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Install the required Blazor packages

Install the Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes NuGet packages. All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.

  1. Go to Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution.
  2. Search the required NuGet packages (Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes) and install them.

Alternatively, you can install the same packages using the Package Manager Console with the following commands.

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban -Version 34.1.29
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 34.1.29

Open the terminal and run the following commands.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban -v 34.1.29
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -v 34.1.29

Open the command prompt and run the following commands.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban -v 34.1.29
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -v 34.1.29

Add import namespaces

After the packages are installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban namespaces.

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

Register the Blazor service

Open the Program.cs file in Blazor WebAssembly App and register the Blazor service.

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

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references in the ~wwwroot/index.html file.

...
<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/fluent2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
...
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Add Blazor Kanban component

Open a Razor file located in the ~/Pages/*.razor (for example, Home.razor) and add the Blazor Kanban component inside the razor file.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Kanban

<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 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." },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 2", Title = "BLAZ-29002", Status = "Open", Summary = "Show the retrieved data from the server in grid control." },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 3", Title = "BLAZ-29003", Status = "InProgress", Summary = "Improve application performance" },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 4", Title = "BLAZ-29004", Status = "Testing", Summary = "Fix the issues reported by the customer." },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 5", Title = "BLAZ-29005", Status = "Testing", Summary = "Fix the issues reported in Safari browser." },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 6", Title = "BLAZ-29006", Status = "Close", Summary = "Analyze SQL server 2008 connection." },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 7", Title = "BLAZ-29007", Status = "Close", Summary = "Analyze grid control." },
        new TasksModel { Id = "Task 8", Title = "BLAZ-29008", Status = "Close", Summary = "Stored procedure for initial data binding of the grid." }
    };
}
