thuzarwin / bpmn-moddle

Read and write BPMN 2.0 XML from JavaScript.

As of version 5.0.0 this library exposes ES modules. Use esm to consume it or an ES module aware bundler such as Webpack or Rollup to bundle it for the browser.

bpmn-moddle

Read and write BPMN 2.0 diagram files in NodeJS and the browser.

bpmn-moddle uses the BPMN 2.0 meta-model to validate the input and produce correct BPMN 2.0 XML. The library is built on top of moddle and moddle-xml.

Usage

Get the library via npm package. Bundle it for the web using browserify or webpack.

import BpmnModdle from 'bpmn-moddle';

var moddle = new BpmnModdle();

var xmlStr =
  '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' +
  '<bpmn2:definitions xmlns:bpmn2="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" ' +
                     'id="empty-definitions" ' +
                     'targetNamespace="http://bpmn.io/schema/bpmn">' +
  '</bpmn2:definitions>';


moddle.fromXML(xmlStr, function(err, definitions) {

  // update id attribute
  definitions.set('id', 'NEW ID');

  // add a root element
  var bpmnProcess = moddle.create('bpmn:Process', { id: 'MyProcess_1' });
  definitions.get('rootElements').push(bpmnProcess);

  moddle.toXML(definitions, function(err, xmlStrUpdated) {

    // xmlStrUpdated contains new id and the added process

  });

});
