+# kanban template — persistent Next.js + Mongo board
+
+A real, deployable kanban board. Cards live in the grid-shared MongoDB, so they
+survive refresh and are shared across users/sessions. Same proven shape as
+`app-with-data`, adapted to a `cards` domain (title, column, order) with three
+columns and move-between-columns.
+
+## How the grid gives you a database
+
+You do **not** provision a database or set a connection string. In
+`cloudgrid.yaml` you declare `needs: { database: true }`, and the grid:
+
+- provisions shared Mongo for the app, and
+- injects the connection string as the **`DATABASE_MONGODB_URL`** environment
+  variable (plus the legacy `MONGODB_URL` alias) — at dev-time (`grid dev`) and
+  at runtime (after `grid plug`).
+
+The app reads it via `process.env.DATABASE_MONGODB_URL` (with a legacy
+`process.env.MONGODB_URL` fallback) in `services/web/lib/db.js` — **lazily,
+inside the `getDb` getter, never at module top level** (a top-level read fails
+`next build`, which imports the module for route analysis before the grid injects
+the var). Never hardcode a connection string; never commit a secret.
+
+> **Declare `needs: { database: true }` (the canonical shape).** The deployer
+> provisions Mongo and injects `DATABASE_MONGODB_URL` (plus the legacy
+> `MONGODB_URL` alias). `requires:` is the deprecated v1 alias — don't author new
+> yaml with it, and never set `needs:` and `requires:` together (the validator
+> rejects the combination).
+
+## Service layout
+
+App code lives under **`services/web/`**, not the template root. `path:` in
+`cloudgrid.yaml` is the URL mount, not the filesystem path — the service named
+`web` means the CLI looks for `services/web/`. Files at the root fail with
+`Error: Service directory not found: …/services/web`.
+
+## Run locally
+
+```bash
+npm install
+grid dev          # runs Next.js with DATABASE_MONGODB_URL injected against dev Mongo
+```
+
+## Deploy
+
+```bash
+grid plug         # builds + deploys the folder (async — poll status until live)
+```
+
+A runtime deploy is asynchronous: `plug` returns `status: building`; poll status
+until the app is live, then use the returned live URL. Re-plug the same entity
+to update the same URL.
+
+## File tree
+
+```
+cloudgrid.yaml                         # name + services.web (nextjs) + needs: { database: true }
+services/web/package.json              # next, react, react-dom, mongodb driver only
+services/web/lib/db.js                 # lazy Mongo client from DATABASE_MONGODB_URL (legacy MONGODB_URL fallback)
+services/web/app/layout.js             # root layout + inline CSS
+services/web/app/page.js               # server component: reads cards from Mongo
+services/web/app/board.js              # client board: POST / PATCH (move column) / DELETE via the API
+services/web/app/api/cards/route.js    # GET (list) / POST (add) / PATCH (move) / DELETE (remove)
+```
+
+## Adapt it
+
+- Rename the `cards` collection in `services/web/app/api/cards/route.js` and
+  `services/web/app/page.js`.
+- Change the columns (edit the `COLUMNS` array) or add fields (assignee, labels).
+- Add drag-and-drop or per-column ordering on top of the `order` field.
+- Add `cache: true` to `needs:` only if you actually need Redis.

+# Template: kanban (persistent Next.js + Mongo board)
+
+A real, deployable kanban board. Cards live in the grid-shared MongoDB, so they
+survive refresh and are shared across sessions. Same proven shape as
+`app-with-data`, adapted to a `cards` domain (title, column, order) with three
+columns and move-between-columns.
+
+**Key rules (all proven by the app-with-data end-to-end deploy):**
+
+1. **Service code MUST live under `services/<name>/`, not the repo/template
+   root.** `path:` in `cloudgrid.yaml` is the URL mount, NOT the filesystem path.
+   The service named `web` → the CLI looks for `services/web/`. App files at the
+   root fail with `Error: Service directory not found: …/services/web`.
+2. **Read the DB connection string LAZILY (inside the getter), never at module
+   top level.** The grid injects it as `DATABASE_MONGODB_URL` (plus the legacy
+   `MONGODB_URL` alias) at dev-time and runtime; the app reads
+   `process.env.DATABASE_MONGODB_URL || process.env.MONGODB_URL` inside `getDb`.
+   A top-level read fails `next build`. Never hardcode a connection string; never
+   commit a secret.
+3. **Declare the datastore with `needs: { database: true }`.** The deployer
+   provisions Mongo and injects the connection string. `requires:` is the
+   deprecated v1 alias; don't author new yaml with it, and never set `needs:` and
+   `requires:` together (the validator rejects the combination).

+## The cards collection
+
+Documents: `{ title, column, order, createdAt }` where `column` is one of `todo`
+/ `doing` / `done`. The API route on `cards` does GET (list, ordered), POST
+(add to `todo`), PATCH (move to another column), DELETE (remove); the page is a
+server component that reads the collection and hands it to a client board.
+
+## Adapt it
+
+- Rename the `cards` collection to your data.
+- Change the columns (edit the `COLUMNS` array) or add fields (assignee, labels).
+- Add drag-and-drop or per-column ordering on top of the `order` field.
+- Add `cache: true` to `needs:` only if you actually need Redis.
+- Run `grid dev` to test locally, `grid plug` to deploy (async — poll to live).
