+# getCardHeight
+
+### Description
+
+@short: Optional. A function that returns an estimated height of a card
+
+The `getCardHeight` function is used by the widget to estimate card heights when the [`cardHeight`](api/config/js_kanban_cardheight_config.md) property is not set and the board is configured with [`renderType: "lazy"`](api/config/js_kanban_rendertype_config.md) and [`scrollType: "column"`](api/config/js_kanban_scrolltype_config.md). The estimated heights let the widget render the scrollbar correctly before the actual cards are measured in the DOM.
+
+:::info
+If you set the [`cardHeight`](api/config/js_kanban_cardheight_config.md) property, the widget uses the fixed height and `getCardHeight` is not called. Setting `cardHeight` is the recommended way to combine `renderType: "lazy"` with `scrollType: "column"`.
+:::
+
+### Usage
+
+~~~jsx {}
+getCardHeight?: (cardShape: object, card: object, cardWidth: number) => number;
+~~~
+
+### Parameters
+
+The callback function takes the following arguments:
+
+- `cardShape` - the configuration object of the card (the [`cardShape`](api/config/js_kanban_cardshape_config.md) property)
+- `card` - the data object of the card
+- `cardWidth` - the current width of the card in pixels
+
+The function must return a number — the estimated height of the card in pixels.
+
+### Default config
+
+By default, the widget uses a built-in function that approximates card height based on the visible fields declared in [`cardShape`](api/config/js_kanban_cardshape_config.md) and the data stored in the card. This default works for boards that rely on the built-in card layout.
+
+If you provide a custom [`cardTemplate`](api/config/js_kanban_cardtemplate_config.md), the built-in approximation can no longer predict the actual height of the rendered markup. In this case, specify a custom `getCardHeight` function that returns the height of the rendered template, or set a static [`cardHeight`](api/config/js_kanban_cardheight_config.md) instead.
+
+### Example
+
+The example below provides a custom `getCardHeight` function for a board with a custom card template:
+
+~~~jsx {15-22,27}
+const cardTemplate = ({ cardFields }) => {
+    const { label, description } = cardFields;
+    return `
+        <div class="custom-card" style="padding:20px">
+            <div class="custom-label">${label}</div>
+            <div class="custom-description">${description || ""}</div>
+        </div>
+    `;
+};
+
+new kanban.Kanban("#root", {
+    cards,
+    columns,
+    renderType: "lazy",
+    scrollType: "column",
+    cardTemplate: kanban.template(card => cardTemplate(card)),
+    getCardHeight: (cardShape, card, cardWidth) => {
+        // estimate the height of the custom template
+        let height = 60; // base padding + label line
+        if (card.description) {
+            height += Math.ceil(card.description.length / 40) * 18;
+        }
+        return height;
+    },
+    // other parameters
+});
+~~~
