Basic usage

import { payloadKanbanBoard } from 'payload-kanban-board';

const config = buildConfig({
  collections: [ ... ],
  plugins: [
    payloadKanbanBoard({
      collections: {
        posts: {
          enabled: true,
          config: {
            statuses: [
              {
                value: 'draft',
                label: 'Draft',
              },
              { value: 'in-progress', label: 'In Progress' },
              {
                value: 'ready-for-review',
                label: 'Ready for review',
                dropValidation: ({ user, data }) => {
                  return { dropAble: false }
                  //<dropValidation key is optional>
                },
              },
              { value: 'published', label: 'Published' },
            ],

            defaultStatus: 'todo',
            hideNoStatusColumn: true,
          },
        },
      },
    })
  ],
});

To use it on payload version < 3.0

import { payloadKanbanBoard } from 'payload-kanban-board';

const config = buildConfig({
  collections: [ ... ],
  plugins: [
    payloadKanbanBoard({
      'my-collection-slug': {
        statuses: [
          {value: 'draft', label: 'Draft', dropValidation:({user,data})=>return true}, //<dropValidation key is optional>
          {value: 'in-progress', label: 'In Progress'},
          {value: 'ready-for-review', label: 'Ready for review'},
          {value: 'published', label: 'Published'},
        ],
        defaultStatus: 'draft',
        hideNoStatusColumn: false,
        fieldAccess:{
          // <These fields are optional>
          update:() => true,
          create:() => false,
          read:() => false,
        },
        fieldAdmin: {
          // <These fields are optional>
          hidden:true
          // Any admin props for a normal field in payload cms
        },

      }
    })
  ],
});

Differences with the draft/publish system of Payload.

The kanban plugin introduces a new field called kanbanStatus. This field does not interact with the draft/publish system of Payload.

You can "integrate" the kanban status with the draft/publish system of Payload yourself by using Payloads hooks.

For example: Automatically publish the document when the kanbanStatus has been changed to published.

• [x] Payload 2.0 support
• [x] Payload 3.0 support
• [ ] Customize card properties (currently displays title and createdAt)
• [ ] Edit relationships directly from the card (e.g., assigning users to a document)
• [x] Toggleable column for posts without a kanban status (Currently, documents lacking kanbanStatus aren't visible on the board)
• [ ] Lazy loading of column contents when scrolling (Currently, board only shows defaultLimit amount of cards)
• [x] Validation for changing statuses
• [ ] Allowed transitions between statuses
• [ ] Integration with the draft/publish system of Payload (?)
