Get the order of elements on a board

[akramwahid]

I want to save the order state of elements on the board in the backend db. I know we can listen for call back dragendEl or dragEl in order to detect the item reordering inside a board, how can I get the new order when an item is reordered, I also want to store the order of the Board as well when I enable dragBoards , your help is kindly appreciated

Hello @akramwahid , you will have to get the elements and iterate over it. Like:

dropEl: function(el, target, source, sibling) {
    var _target = $(target.parentElement);
    var sorted = [];
    var nodes = jkanban.getBoardElements(_target.data("id"));
    var currentOrder = 0;
    nodes.forEach(function(value, index, array) {
      sorted.push({
        "id": $(value).data("eid"),
        "order": currentOrder++
      })
    });
    $("#working_sort_order").val(JSON.stringify(sorted));
  },
