Angular BPMN Sample project

This is a simple project demonstrating how to integrate Angular (5) with the BPMN-JS components. It is the start of a rewrite of my previous project integrating Angular2 with BPMN-JS: https://github.com/narve/ang2-bpmnjs

The previous project was created in an ancient period when Angular2 was still hot, and suffered from several problems, chief among them the complicated setup (lots of webpack configuration) and difficulty of upgrading components.

This time around I wanted to use the Angular CLI and as many defaults, standards and conventions as possible. The main objective is to have a simple, standardized solution, making it easy to maintain and upgrade the code.

NB: This project is not affiliated with / created by / endorsed by (etc) Camunda/BPMN.IO or anybody but myself.

Feedback

Feedback is welcome, as issues, pull requests, comments, whatever. Without feedback this project will be left unmaintained.

Documentation

The documentation is kept to a bare minimum in order to avoid out-of-date information. Especially Angular is a moving target. See the docs folder for the small amount of documentation there is. Otherwise, consult the documentation for Typescript/Angular/AngularCLI/BPMN-JS. Remember to check that you are viewing the correct version!

To run this project:

git clone [email protected]:narve/angular-bpmn.git

Features / Status

• Angular CLI based project (see docs and package.json for exact versions).

• No installation / setup required, besides node/npm

• Tested on Linux and Windows (plain Powershell, not Git Bash)

• Async loading of a sample BPMN diagram

• Properties panel

• Custom properties (extending original)

• Custom palette (extending original)

• Surprisingly little actual code (including configuration files!)

• Hopefully usable as a template / inspiration for actual production use

• Hopefully as future-proof as any front-end code can be these days
