Search

Advanced Kanban provides simple search functionality by default. You can enable it by using the ->searchableFields() method in your kanban page and passing the fields you want to search in.

By default, it supports the like operator for searching. You can pass second-level relations using dot (.) notation.

Basic Search Setup

public function kanban(Kanban $kanban): Kanban
{
    return $kanban
        ->model(Task::class)
        ->statusField('status')
        ->searchableFields(['title', 'description', 'assignedTo.name']) // ← Add searchable fields here
        ->columns([
            // Your columns here
        ]);
}

Customizing Search Behavior

You can customize the search behavior by overriding the applySearch method in your kanban page:

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

public function kanban(Kanban $kanban): Kanban
{   
    return $kanban
        ->model(Task::class)
        ->statusField('status')
        ->applySearchUsing(function(Builder $query, string $search) {
            return $query->where('title', 'like', '%' . $search . '%')
                ->orWhere('description', 'like', '%' . $search . '%')
                ->orWhereHas('assignedTo', function($q) use ($search) {
                    $q->where('name', 'like', '%' . $search . '%');
                });
        })
        ->columns([
            // Your columns here
        ]);
}

Loading Indicator

You can enable a loading indicator by using the ->enableLoadingIndicator() method in your kanban page.
