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.

Usage

Get the library via npm package. Consume it in NodeJS, via UMD or bundle it for the browser using your favorite module bundler.

import BpmnModdle from 'bpmn-moddle';

const moddle = new BpmnModdle();

const 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>';


const {
  rootElement: definitions
} = await moddle.fromXML(xmlStr);

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

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

// xmlStrUpdated contains new id and the added process
const {
  xml: xmlStrUpdated
} = await moddle.toXML(definitions);
