Use Camunda Modeler plugins with bpmnJS Modeler?

fitbit · May 23, 2020, 3:08pm

Hi,
the Camunda Modeler searches for available plug-ins in a specific directory on startup.
(https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/tree/master/docs/plugins)

Is it correct that this behavior is not supported by the bpmn.js modeler (https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-examples/tree/master/modeler)?

I would like to be able to use plugins unchanged in both situations.
Is there already a solution?

@fitbit you can build something similar like this:

github.com

bpmn-io/bpmn-js-bpmnlint/blob/master/lib/Linting.js

import { Linter } from 'bpmnlint';

import {
  assign,
  groupBy,
  reduce
} from 'min-dash';

import {
  domify
} from 'min-dom';

import {
  escapeHTML
} from 'diagram-js/lib/util/EscapeUtil';

import ErrorSvg from '../assets/svg/error.svg';
import WarningSvg from '../assets/svg/warning.svg';
import SuccessSvg from '../assets/svg/success.svg';

Hello,
thank you very much for your answer.

My question wasn’t about how to extend bpmn-js, but how to use plugins without customization in Camunda modeler and with bpmn-js.

Probably an extension for bpmn-js is necessary, which like the Camunda modeler searches a folder for plugins and includes them when loading.

github.com

camunda/camunda-modeler/blob/develop/app/lib/plugins.js

const path = require('path');
const glob = require('glob');

const log = require('./log')('app:plugins');

const {
  globFiles
} = require('./util/files');

const PLUGINS_PATTERN = 'plugins/*/index.js';

Does such a solution already exist?
And is this approach reasonable and promising?

@fitbit, There’s no such solutions available out of the box. The given example is for your reference. So you can try implement your usecase using the reference
