Kanban Component svyKanban needs documentation & new feature

Questions

I’ve just spent many hours trying to get the Kanban Component to work well.
The documentation for it is completely missing (but I managed to work out that it was based on the free jKanban library…)
Having extracted the example solution from GitHub and applying it to my solution, one of the ‘features’ I thought it would support is changing item order within a board, but sadly not :cry:
In the sample code for dropping an item we have

	if (targetColumnId == sourceColumnId) {
		// TODO Handle ordering?
		return;
	}

not very helpful.
I actually contacted the guy who wrote jKanban and he said

Today jKanban don’t track item position in the same board, you can go on the github page of the project and fork the library or open an issue.

I think having a Kanban Component for TiNG is VERY useful for modern solutions, but this version is so basic and doesn’t even support some of the most basic functions of a Kanban board.
Please can you implement item re-ordering easily, or maybe invest in a better library (e.g. JavaScript Kanban Board UI widget for web developers | Webix )

Is anyone else here using this component, and if so, have you managed to do something like this & if so, please share your code??

Thanks

Hi there. It looks like the component’s drop event is just missing an argument for the target-item id. There’s 4 args total, and I believe the sibling argument was never fully implemented on our end. The component library does it support it though.

Perhaps you could create a feature request ticket and we can look into it further?

Thanks for replying.
I have raised a feature request

I hope you can sort this out quickly as it is ‘mission critical’ for my solution.
Thanks
