Extending the BPMN Viewer in Cockpit
BPMN diagrams in Cockpit are rendered and displayed by the bpmn.js toolkit. Bpmn.js
can be extended with additional modules as well as so called moddle extensions.
An additional module refers to the extension of the feature set, whereas a moddle extension makes it possible to add custom
attributes and elements to the BPMN 2.0 model.
Starting with this release, it is possible to use the extension mechanism of bpmn.js through Camunda Cockpit to customize
the default behavior of the BPMN viewer.
To extend the BPMN Viewer, the file app/cockpit/scripts/config.js
needs to be adjusted as follows:
var camCockpitConf = {
...
bpmnJs: {
additionalModules: {
// a JavaScript file, which represents a module
myCustomModule: 'my-custom-module/module'
},
moddleExtensions: {
// a JSON file, which represents a moddle extension
myCustomModdleExtension: 'my-custom-moddle/moddle'
}
}
...
};
For further information, please see the documentation of Cockpit
and bpmn.js.
Support for Java 9 / 10 & 11
