Resources
A TaskBoard resource is optional metadata that can be associated with a card. The TaskBoard supports single instance and multiple instance resources.
Single Instance Resources
A single instance resource is a resource of which only one instance can be assigned to a TaskBoard card, for example, a TaskBoard which displays tasks with different priority. Each card can have a single priority.
The following example demonstrates how to use a single instance resource.
<div id="taskBoard"></div>
<script>
$("#taskBoard").kendoTaskBoard({
resources: [{
field: "category",
dataColorField: "Color",
dataTextField: "Text",
dataValueField: "Value",
dataSource: [
{ Value: "urgent", Text: "Urgent", Color: "orange" },
{ Value: "highpriority", Text: "High Priority", Color: "blue" },
{ Value: "lowpriority", Text: "Low Priority", Color: "green" }
]
}],
dataSource: [
{ id: 1, order: 1, title: "Task 1", description: "Description 1", status: "backlog", category: "urgent" },
{ id: 2, order: 2, title: "Task 11", description: "Description 11", status: "backlog", category: "urgent" },
{ id: 3, order: 3, title: "Task 2", description: "Description 2", status: "doing", category: "highpriority" },
{ id: 4, order: 4, title: "Task 22", description: "Description 22", status: "doing", category: "lowpriority" },
{ id: 5, order: 5, title: "Task 3", description: "Description 3", status: "done", category: "lowpriority" }
],
columns: [
{ text: "Doing", status: "doing" },
{ text: "Backlog", status: "backlog" },
{ text: "Done", status: "done" }
]
});
</script>
Multiple Instance Resources
A multiple instance resource is a resource of which more than one instance can be assigned to a TaskBoard card, for example, a TaskBoard which displays a list of issues. Each issue can have different tags at the same time, for example, bug, client-side, high severity.
The following example demonstrates how to use a multiple instance resource.
<div id="taskBoard"></div>
<script id="card-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div class="template-container">
<div class="template-header">
<p><a class="k-card-title k-link" href="" data-command="SelectCardCommand">#: title #</a></p>
</div>
<p>#:description#</p>
<p>Tags: # for (var i = 0; i < resources.tags.length; i++) { #
<span style="color: #:resources.tags[i].color#">#:resources.tags[i].text#</span>
# } # </p>
</div>
</script>
<script>
$("#taskBoard").kendoTaskBoard({
resources: [{
field: "tags",
multiple: true,
dataSource: [
{ value: "bug", text: "Bug", color: "gray" },
{ value: "feature", text: "Feature", color: "orange" },
{ value: "client-side", text: "Client-side", color: "blue" },
{ value: "server-side", text: "Server-side", color: "green" }
]
}],
template: $("#card-template").html(),
dataSource: [
{ id: 1, order: 1, title: "Task 1", description: "Description 1", status: "backlog", tags: [ "bug", "client-side" ] },
{ id: 2, order: 2, title: "Task 11", description: "Description 11", status: "backlog", tags: [ "feature", "client-side" ] },
{ id: 3, order: 3, title: "Task 2", description: "Description 2", status: "doing", tags: [ "feature", "server-side" ] },
{ id: 4, order: 4, title: "Task 22", description: "Description 22", status: "doing", tags: [ "chore", "client-side" ] },
{ id: 5, order: 5, title: "Task 3", description: "Description 3", status: "done", tags: [ "chore", "server-side" ] }
],
columns: [
{ text: "Doing", status: "doing" },
{ text: "Backlog", status: "backlog" },
{ text: "Done", status: "done" }
]
});
</script>
