Default kanban provider for molecule.dev.

Provides an in-memory kanban board implementation with column/card CRUD, drag state tracking, column reordering, and subscription-based state notifications. No external dependencies.

Quick Start

import { setProvider } from '@molecule/app-kanban'
import { provider } from '@molecule/app-kanban-default'

setProvider(provider)

Type

provider

Installation

npm install @molecule/app-kanban-default @molecule/app-kanban

API

Interfaces

DefaultKanbanConfig

Provider-specific configuration for the default kanban provider.

interface DefaultKanbanConfig {
  /**
   * Whether to deep-clone card `data` when returning snapshots.
   * When `false` (default), card `data` fields are returned by reference for
   * performance. Set to `true` to deep-clone (via `structuredClone`) each
   * card's `data` in every returned snapshot — `getColumns`, `getColumn`,
   * `findCard`, `getState`, and `onUpdate` — so consumers may mutate returned
   * card data without affecting internal board state.
   *
   * Defaults to `false`.
   */
  cloneCardData?: boolean
}

Functions

createDefaultProvider(config)

Creates a default kanban provider.

function createDefaultProvider(config?: DefaultKanbanConfig): KanbanProvider

• config — Optional provider-specific configuration. Set cloneCardData: true to deep-clone each card's data in every returned snapshot (see {@link DefaultKanbanConfig}).

Returns: A KanbanProvider backed by in-memory state management.

Constants

provider

Default kanban provider instance.

const provider: KanbanProvider

Core Interface

Implements @molecule/app-kanban interface.

Bond Wiring

Setup function to register this provider with the core interface:

import { setProvider } from '@molecule/app-kanban'
import { provider } from '@molecule/app-kanban-default'

export function setupKanbanDefault(): void {
  setProvider(provider)
}

Injection Notes

Requirements

Peer dependencies:

• @molecule/app-kanban >=1.0.1

Runtime Dependencies

• @molecule/app-kanban

• Headless state container — no DOM and no drag-and-drop UI. Your app renders columns/cards (ClassMap + t()) and translates its own drag events into moveCard/addCard/reorderColumns; subscribe with onUpdate to re-render.

• KanbanOptions.onCardMove is required and fires on every moveCard — persist the move there.

• DefaultKanbanConfig.cloneCardData controls snapshot isolation of card data. Default false returns data by reference (columns/cards are shallow-cloned) for performance. Set it true to deep-clone each card's data (via structuredClone) in every returned snapshot (getColumns/getColumn/findCard/getState/onUpdate), so callers can mutate returned data without touching board state.

• destroy() clears the board and detaches all subscribers; instances are independent (createBoard per board).

E2E Tests

Integration checklist — drive the real UI (live preview, no mocks), adapt each item to this app's actual screens/flows, and check every box off one by one. A box you can't check is an integration bug to fix — not a skip:

• [ ] The board renders every column with its cards in order, and each column's card count matches the cards actually shown beneath it.
• [ ] Dragging a card onto a DIFFERENT column moves it there and it persists: after a full reload the card stays in the new column — proving the move fired the change callback (onCardMove) and the app SAVED it, not just shuffled local state.
• [ ] Dragging a card WITHIN a column to a new spot changes its order, and that new position survives a reload.
• [ ] Adding a card through the app's flow drops it into the target column, editing a card updates its content in place, and deleting removes it — each change sticking after reload.
• [ ] An empty column is a valid drop target: a card dragged onto it lands there and both columns' counts update correctly.
• [ ] If the app defines WIP limits, a column already at its limit visibly flags or rejects an over-limit drop (the core stores limit but does not enforce it — the app must), so a column's count never silently exceeds it.
