This library provides standalone DMN Editor (one all-in-one JavaScript file) that can be embedded into any web application.
A comprehensive API is also provided for setup and interaction with the Editor.
-
To add it to your
package.json
file:npm install @ibm/bamoe-standalone-dmn-editor
-
To import the library:
import * as DmnEditor from "@ibm/bamoe-standalone-dmn-editor/dist"
Here is an example on how to open the DMN Editor:
const editor = DmnEditor.open({
container: document.getElementById("dmn-editor-container"),
initialContent: Promise.resolve(""),
initialFileNormalizedPosixPathRelativeToTheWorkspaceRoot: "model.dmn",
readOnly: false,
resources: new Map([
[
"MyIncludedModel.dmn",
{
contentType: "text",
content: Promise.resolve("")
}
]
])
});
Available parameters:
-
container
: HTML element in which the Editor will be appended to. -
initialContent
: Promise to a DMN model content. Can be empty. Examples:Promise.resolve("")
Promise.resolve("<DIAGRAM_CONTENT_DIRECTLY_HERE>")
fetch("MyDmnModel.dmn").then(content => content.text())
-
initialFileNormalizedPosixPathRelativeToTheWorkspaceRoot
: The POSIX path relative to the workspace root (/
by default), including the file name. The path is useful to locate the file in the workspace, espcially in relation to other resources (defined by theresources
parameters). Examples:model.dmn
myPath/model.dmn
parent/child/filename.dmn
-
readOnly
(optional, defaults tofalse
): Usefalse
to allow content edition, andtrue
for read-only mode, in which the Editor will not allow changes. -
origin
(optional, defaults to*
when accessing the application with thefile
protocol,window.location.origin
otherwise): If for some reason your application needs to change this parameter, you can use it. -
onError
(optional, defaults to() => {}
): If there's an error opening the Editor, this function will be called.
-
resources
(optional, defaults to[]
): Map of resources that will be provided for the Editor. This can be used, for instance, to provide included models for the DMN Editor. Each entry in the map has the resource POSIX path (similar to theinitialFileNormalizedPosixPathRelativeToTheWorkspaceRoot
parameter) as its key and an object containing thecontent-type
(text
orbinary
) and the resourcecontent
(Promise similar to theinitialContent
parameter) as its value. Resources located in a parent directory (in relation to the current content path, defined by theinitialFileNormalizedPosixPathRelativeToTheWorkspaceRoot
) won't be listed to be used as an Included Model.
The returned object will contain the methods needed to manipulate the Editor:
-
getContent(): Promise<string>
: Returns a Promise containing the Editor content. -
setContent(normalizedPosixPathRelativeToTheWorkspaceRoot: string, content: string): Promise<void>
: Sets the content of the Editor. The returning Promise will be rejected if setting the content fails. -
getPreview(): Promise<string>
: Returns a Promise containing the SVG string of the current diagram. -
subscribeToContentChanges(callback: (isDirty: boolean) => void): (isDirty: boolean) => void
: Setup a callback to be called on every content change in the Editor. Returns the same callback to be used for unsubscription. -
unsubscribeToContentChanges(callback: (isDirty: boolean) => void): void
: Unsubscribes the passed callback from content changes. -
markAsSaved(): void
: Resets the Editor state, signalizing that its content is saved. This will also fire the subscribed callbacks of content changes. -
undo(): void
: Undo the last change in the Editor. This will also fire the subscribed callbacks of content changes. -
redo(): void
: Redo the last undone change in the Editor. This will also fire the subscribed callbacks of content changes. -
close(): void
: Closes the Editor. -
