bpmn-js-properties-panel


A properties panel extension for bpmn-js that adds the ability to edit technical properties (generic and Flowable).


Features

The properties panel allows users to edit invisible BPMN properties in a convenient way.

Some of the features are:

* Edit element ids, multi-instance details and more
* Edit execution related Flowable properties
* Redo and undo (plugs into the bpmn-js editing cycle)

Usage

Provide two HTML elements, one for the properties panel and one for the BPMN diagram:

``html



`

Bootstrap bpmn-js with the properties panel and a properties provider:

`javascript
var BpmnJS = require('jeeplus-bpmn/lib/Modeler'),
propertiesPanelModule = require('bpmn-js-properties-panel'),
propertiesProviderModule = require('bpmn-js-properties-panel/lib/provider/bpmn');

var bpmnJS = new BpmnJS({
additionalModules: [
propertiesPanelModule,
propertiesProviderModule
],
container: '#canvas',
propertiesPanel: {
parent: '#properties'
}
});
`

You may attach or detach the properties panel dynamically to any element on the page, too:

`javascript
var propertiesPanel = bpmnJS.get('propertiesPanel');

// detach the panel
propertiesPanel.detach();

// attach it to some other element
propertiesPanel.attachTo('#other-properties');
`

In order to be able to edit Flowable related properties, use the flowable properties provider.
In addition, you need to define the flowable namespace via flowable-bpmn-moddle.

`javascript
var BpmnJS = require('jeeplus-bpmn/lib/Modeler'),
propertiesPanelModule = require('bpmn-js-properties-panel'),
// use Flowable properties provider
propertiesProviderModule = require('bpmn-js-properties-panel/lib/provider/flowable');

// a descriptor that defines Flowable related BPMN 2.0 XML extensions
var flowableModdleDescriptor = require('flowable-bpmn-moddle/resources/flowable');

var bpmnJS = new BpmnJS({
additionalModules: [
propertiesPanelModule,
propertiesProviderModule
],
container: '#canvas',
propertiesPanel: {
parent: '#properties'
},
// make flowable prefix known for import, editing and export
moddleExtensions: {
flowable: flowableModdleDescriptor
}
});

...
