As of version 1.0.0 this library exposes ES modules. Use an ES module aware bundler such as Webpack or Rollup to bundle it for the browser.

bpmn-js-cli-modeling-dsl

A modeling DSL (domain specific language) for bpmn-js, built on top of bpmn-js-cli.

Usage

Use the extension for bpmn-js-cli to quickly model simple processes.

To model this process:

simply execute the following command

cli.model('StartEvent_1 -> and -> service -> user -> icatch -> xor -> or -> ithrow -> end');

You may use the full classified name of any BPMN element such as bpmn:ServiceTask, too to model it.

Shortcuts

A number of aliases are registered for most commonly modeled BPMN elements:

var aliases = {
  service:     'bpmn:ServiceTask',
  user:        'bpmn:UserTask',
  manual:      'bpmn:ManualTask',
  task:        'bpmn:Task',
  end:         'bpmn:EndEvent',
  transaction: 'bpmn:Transaction',
  sub:         'bpmn:SubProcess',
  call:        'bpmn:CallActivity',
  icatch:      'bpmn:IntermediateCatchEvent',
  ithrow:      'bpmn:IntermediateThrowEvent',
  xor:         'bpmn:ExclusiveGateway',
  or:          'bpmn:InclusiveGateway',
  and:         'bpmn:ParallelGateway'
};

Use any of the aliases instead of the full qualified BPMN name.

Setup

Deploy the cli-extension with bpmn-js:

import BpmnModeler from 'bpmn-js/lib/Modeler';
import ModelingDslModule from 'bpmn-js-cli-modeling-dsl';

var modeler = new BpmnModeler({
  additionalModules: [
    ModelingDslModule
  ],
  cli: {
    bindTo: 'cli'
  }
});

modeler.importXML('some-bpmn-xml');

Access the cli as cli in your developer console (open via F12 in most browsers).

Create a simple process from <start> via

cli.model('<start> -> and -> service -> user -> icatch -> xor -> or -> ithrow -> end');
