Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal

php artisan ui:add kanban

Behavior layer (Alpine)

This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to resources/js/ui/kanban.js. Import the behavior layer once from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS

import './kanban.js';

Guidance

Card-based organization

Organize browsable objects into scannable units.

Use when

Use to group related content into scannable units for browsing, prioritization, or rearrangement. Do not use card-like structures when dense row-by-row comparison would be clearer in a list or table.

Avoid when

Avoid using kanban as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.

Task length: short
Interaction cost: medium
Interruptiveness: none
Input precision: none
Mobile / touch risk: medium
Accessibility risk: medium
Needs background context: No
Comparison needed: Yes

Preferred alternatives

Table for exact comparison
List for compact scanning

Anti-patterns

Turning every object into a card

API

manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverage

Props

Prop	Type / values	Default	Description
columns	array	todo/doing/done demo columns	Array of columns; each column has id, title, and cards with id, title, and optional description.

Slots

Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.

Data slots

kanban kanban-card kanban-column

Capabilities

wcag-2.2-aa-target interactive responsive rtl darkMode localized

Behavior

Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
Supports pointer drag-and-drop, keyboard reordering, column move announcements, and drag teardown.
Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

Usage

previews.components.kanban.default.blade.php Blade

<x-ui.kanban
    :columns="[
        ['id' => 'todo', 'title' => 'To do', 'cards' => [
            ['id' => 't1', 'title' => 'Draft release notes', 'description' => 'Summarise the audit fixes.'],
            ['id' => 't2', 'title' => 'Triage open issues'],
        ]],
        ['id' => 'doing', 'title' => 'In progress', 'cards' => [
            ['id' => 'd1', 'title' => 'Wire up the registry guard', 'description' => 'Diff registry dirs against the catalog.'],
        ]],
        ['id' => 'done', 'title' => 'Done', 'cards' => [
            ['id' => 'c1', 'title' => 'Surface the orphaned component'],
        ]],
    ]"
/>

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels

Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
