View and edit BPMN 2.0 diagrams in the browser.
Use the library pre-packaged or include it via npm into your node-style web-application.
To get started, create a bpmn-js instance and render BPMN 2.0 diagrams in the browser:
const xml = '...'; // my BPMN 2.0 xml const viewer = new BpmnJS({ container: 'body' }); try { const { warnings } = await viewer.importXML(xml); console.log('rendered'); } catch (err) { console.log('error rendering', err); }
Checkout our examples for many more supported usage scenarios.
You may attach or detach the viewer dynamically to any element on the page, too:
const viewer = new BpmnJS(); // attach it to some element viewer.attachTo('#container'); // detach the panel viewer.detach();
Prepare the project by installing all dependencies:
npm install
Then, depending on your use-case you may run any of the following commands:
# build the library and run all tests npm run all # spin up a single local modeler instance npm start # run the full development setup npm run dev
You may need to perform additional project setup when building the latest development snapshot.
bpmn-js builds on top of a few powerful tools:
- bpmn-moddle: Read / write support for BPMN 2.0 XML in the browsers
- diagram-js: Diagram rendering and editing toolkit
It is an extensible toolkit, complemented by many additional utilities.
