Workflow in Blazor Kanban Component

24 Mar 202212 minutes to read

Blazor Kanban workflow allows to set the flow of cards between the columns. It provides restriction on columns when the card is moved from one column to another column. It provides support to prevent the drag and drop action on the column.

Prevent transition across columns

Provides restriction on columns when performing drag and drop actions while providing the KeyField inside the TransitionColumns property. If a card is dragged, dotted border line will be shown on the possible drop columns and the not-allowed cursor point will be shown in the restricted dropped columns.

Prevent Drop actions

Column will not allow any dropped card action when you disable the AllowDrop properties in the column.

In the following code, the Backlog column will not allow any card drop action within the column and any other columns cards.

Prevent Drag actions

Column will not allow any dragged card action when you disable the AllowDrag properties in the column.

In the following code, the Done column will not allow any card drag action within the column.
