bpmn-js - BPMN 2.0 for the web

bpmn-js is a BPMN 2.0 diagram rendering toolkit and web modeler.

Usage

No need for additional setup: Try out our seed project or use the pre-packaged version of the library.

Get the library via npm or Bower and use it in your web applications to display BPMN 2.0 diagrams.

var BpmnViewer = require('bpmn-js');

var xml; // my BPMN 2.0 xml
var viewer = new BpmnViewer({ container: 'body' });

viewer.importXML(xml, function(err) {

  if (err) {
    console.log('error rendering', err);
  } else {
    console.log('rendered');
  }
});

Dynamic Attach/Detach

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

var viewer = new BpmnViewer();

// attach it to some element
viewer.attachTo('#container');

// detach the panel
viewer.detach();
