This extension will allow you to share your Kanban board with another team in your project. You will also be able to grab the settings from another team's board.
For instructions on using the Azure Boards Kanban Tools extension, please refer to the official documentation. You can access the the documentation from the Marketplace.
This project uses GitHub Issues to track bugs and feature requests. Please search the existing issues before filing new issues to avoid duplicates. For new issues, file your bug or feature request as a new Issue.
We welcome contributions to improve the extension. If you would like to contribute, please fork the repository and create a pull request with your changes. Your contributions help enhance the functionality and usability of the extension for the entire community.

To build this extension, in the azure-boards-kanban-tools folder, run the command
npm install
Running the following command will generate a development package to use
npm run package:dev
This will produce a .vsix package available for use. Go to the Marketplace management portal and upload the new extension there. Once uploaded, you can share the extension with your instance.
This is built to run against localhost on port 9090. To start a development server to test against, run the command
npm run dev
You can run the Webpack dev server from Visual Studio as well if you install the NPM Task Runner extension.
You can use Chrome to debug the local instance through the use of the Debugger for Chrome extension. After starting the development server, in VS Code, hit F5 to open Chrome in a debug instance. The first time you launch the debugger, you will have to accept the untrusted https connection. Once the connection is trusted, you will be able to navigate to your team project:
https://{instance}.visualstudio.com/{project}/_backlogs/board
And see the extension available for use. Setting breakpoints in VS Code should allow them to be hit from Chrome.
This should work with other browsers as well but has currently only been tested with Chrome.
To prep a release, you can run one of the following commands:
npm run build:release
Or
npm run package:release
The first command compiles the typescript files, and preps all outputs in the **dist/** folder. The second command runs the build but also creates a vsix that can be uploaded to the marketplace.
