dmn-js-properties-panel

This is properties panel extension for dmn-js.

Features

The properties panel allows users to edit invisible DMN properties in a convenient way.

Some of the features are:

• Edit element ids and names
• Edit execution related Camunda properties
• Redo and undo (plugs into the dmn-js editing cycle)

Usage

Provide two HTML elements, one for the properties panel and one for the DMN diagram:

<div class="modeler">
  <div id="canvas"></div>
  <div id="properties"></div>
</div>

Bootstrap dmn-js with the properties panel, and a properties provider:

import DmnModeler from 'dmn-js/lib/Modeler';

import {
  DmnPropertiesPanelModule,
  DmnPropertiesProviderModule,
} from 'dmn-js-properties-panel';

var dmnModeler = new DmnModeler({
  drd: {
    propertiesPanel: {
      parent: '#properties'
    },
    additionalModules: [
      DmnPropertiesPanelModule,
      DmnPropertiesProviderModule
    ]
  },
  container: '#canvas'
});

Dynamic Attach/Detach

You may attach or detach the properties panel dynamically to any element on the page, too:

var propertiesPanel = dmnJS.get('propertiesPanel');

// detach the panel
propertiesPanel.detach();

// attach it to some other element
propertiesPanel.attachTo('#other-properties');

Use with Camunda properties

In order to be able to edit Camunda related properties, use the camunda properties provider. In addition, you need to define the camunda namespace via camunda-dmn-moddle.

import DmnModeler from 'dmn-js/lib/Modeler';
import {
  DmnPropertiesPanelModule,
  DmnPropertiesProviderModule,
  CamundaPropertiesProviderModule
} from 'dmn-js-properties-panel';


// use Camunda properties provider
import CamundaPropertiesProvider from 'src/provider/camunda';

// a descriptor that defines Camunda related DMN 1.1 XML extensions
import camundaModdleDescriptor from 'camunda-dmn-moddle/resources/camunda';

var dmnModeler = new DmnModeler({
  drd: {
    propertiesPanel: {
      parent: '#properties'
    },
    additionalModules: [
      DmnPropertiesPanelModule,
      DmnPropertiesProviderModule,
      CamundaPropertiesProviderModule
    ]
  },
  container: '#canvas'
  // make camunda prefix known for import, editing and export
  moddleExtensions: {
    camunda: camundaModdleDescriptor
  }
});
