Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://diceui.com/r/radix-vega/kanban-dynamic-overlay-demo.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo from "@/registry/diceui-radix/examples/kanban-dynamic-overlay-demo";export default function Example() {  return <KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo />;}
  • Demonstrating sortable Kanban cards and draggable columns with dnd-kit.
  • Showing how to render different drag-overlay content based on the active item type.
  • Prototyping task workflows with priority, assignee, and due-date information.
  • Using as a starting point for a board whose columns and tasks are managed in React state.

Examples

Basic board

Render the complete Kanban demo as a standalone board.

basic-board.tsx
import KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo from "@/registry/diceui-radix/examples/kanban-dynamic-overlay-demo";export default function ProjectBoard() {  return <KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo />;}

Dashboard section

Place the board inside a dashboard section with a heading.

dashboard-section.tsx
import KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo from "@/registry/diceui-radix/examples/kanban-dynamic-overlay-demo";export default function ProjectDashboard() {  return (    <section className="space-y-4">      <div>        <h2 className="text-xl font-semibold">Project tasks</h2>        <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">          Organize work across the delivery pipeline.        </p>      </div>      <KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo />    </section>  );}

Responsive page content

Use the board as the main content of a page with horizontal overflow on smaller screens.

responsive-page-content.tsx
import KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo from "@/registry/diceui-radix/examples/kanban-dynamic-overlay-demo";export default function TasksPage() {  return (    <main className="space-y-6 p-6">      <header>        <h1 className="text-2xl font-bold">Tasks</h1>      </header>      <div className="overflow-x-auto">        <KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo />      </div>    </main>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
propsnull—The exported KanbanDynamicOverlayDemo component accepts no props. Its task and column data are initialized internally and updated through local React state.

Accessibility

  • The demo uses visible text for column names, task titles, priorities, assignees, and dates; due dates are rendered with the semantic time element.
  • The column drag handles are rendered as Button components, but the source does not provide an aria-label or other accessible name for the icon-only GripVertical buttons; add an accessible label when adapting this demo.
  • The priority badges are marked pointer-events-none so they do not interfere with pointer-based dragging.
  • The Kanban and dnd-kit primitives provide the board interaction behavior; preserve their keyboard and screen-reader interaction support when customizing the markup.
