Custom meta model plugin in camunda modeler

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

I am looking to load the https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-examples/tree/master/custom-meta-model as a plugin in my camunda modeler.

I have added the index.js file which loads the bundled file as the script and included the plugin directory under ~/Library/Application Support on macOS/camunda-modeler/plugins
but I don’t see this plugin code loaded on inspecting camunda modeler.

I see other plugins which are plugins on modeler which do not extend the xml or palette working. What am I missing here? Is it possible to add this as a plugin at all?

module.exports = {
  name: 'Custom meta model',
  script: './dist/index.js'
};

Hi,
Is using bpmn extension element (https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-examples/tree/master/custom-meta-model) as a plugin in camunda modeler correct at all?
Appreciate any help on this question.

Make sure to add the custom meta model as a model extension:

import {
  registerBpmnJSModdleExtension
} from 'camunda-modeler-plugin-helpers';

var moddleDescriptor = {
  name: 'my descriptor',
  uri: 'http://example.my.company.localhost/schema/my-descriptor/1.0',
  prefix: 'mydesc',

  ...
};

registerBpmnJSModdleExtension(moddleDescriptor);
