JointJS+ bpmn2

shapes.bpmn2

The BPMN plugin provides you with a set of Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 shapes. They are designed to be easily configurable with the ui.Inspector plugin.

The plugin consists of flow shapes (Activities, Events, Gateways), connection objects (Flows), several icons and artifacts (DataObjects, Groups, Annotation). It also covers models introduced in version 2.0: Conversations and Connections.

Install

Include joint.shapes.bpmn2.js file to your HTML:

<script src="joint.shapes.bpmn2.js"></script>
shapes.bpmn2.Activity

A rectangular Activity shape with icons.

            text: 'Data Store'
        }
    }
});
shapes.bpmn2.DataStore.prototype.topRy
    dataStore.topRy()

Return the vertical radius of the exposed area of the DataStore base (the value of the body/lateralArea attribute; 10 by default).

dataStore.topRy(t, [opt])

Set the dataStore vertical radius of the exposed area of the cylinder base.

If the provided value is a percentage, it is relative to the refBBox.height of the shape. In practice, only values between '0%' and '50%' make sense. If the provided value is a number, it determines the vertical radius directly. Only values between 0 and half of refBBox.height make sense.

The function automatically sets the value of several attributes: body/lateralArea; and top/ry, top/cy, top/refRy and top/refCy. If these arguments need to be modified further, make sure to assign them only after calling dataStore.topRy.

Example usage:

const dataStore = new bpmn2.DataStore();
dataStore.resize(100, 200);
dataStore.position(525, 75);
dataStore.attr('root/title', 'joint.shapes.bpmn2.DataStore');

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype

The Pool shape exposes functions that enable working with lanes and milestones:

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getLaneBBox
pool.getLaneBBox(laneGroupId)

Get the bounding box of a lane group (header + lane) with laneGroupId id.

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getLanePath
pool.getLanePath(laneGroupId)

Returns the path to the lane in attributes with laneGroupId id.

Example:

const path = pool.getLanePath('customId') + '/label';
pool.prop(path, 'new label', { rewrite: true });
shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getLanesFromPoint
pool.getLanesFromPoint(point)

Find lanes from a given point, where point is an object with x and y coordinates in the paper local coordinate system. Returns a sorted array of lane ids (from the most nested lane to the top parent) which bounding box contains the point.

Note: if lane has a custom id assigned, it will be returned instead.

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getLanesIds
pool.getLanesIds()

Returns an array of all lane identifiers (in non-specific order).

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getMilestoneBBox
pool.getMilestoneBBox(milestoneGroupId)

Get the bounding box of a milestone group (including its header) by milestoneGroupId id.

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getMilestoneFromPoint
pool.getMilestoneFromPoint(point)

Find a milestone from a given point, where point is an object with x and y coordinates in the paper local coordinate system. Returns a string id of the milestone which bounding box contains point.

Note: if milestone has a custom id assigned, it will be returned instead.

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getMinimalSize
pool.getMinimalSize()

Return the width and height of the minimal bounding box necessary to encompass all of the shape's content.

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.prototype.getParentLaneId
pool.getParentLaneId(laneGroupId)

Returns a parent lane id or null if the lane is a top-level lane.

shapes.bpmn2.Pool.attributes

Configuration properties

Property Type Description
lanes object[] Lanes in the Pool. Each lane is contained in a group along with the header and has a unique id. Each lane may have optional properties:

Property Type Description
label string Text content of the lane's label (when left undefined the header with label will not be shown)
id string Custom id of the lane group
size number Size of the lane, when defined it will fix the lane height to the specified value
headerSize number Size of the lane header
sublanes object[] Nested lanes
milestones object[] Milestones in the Pool. Each milestone may have optional properties:

Property Type Description
label string Text content of the milestone's label
id string Custom id of the milestone group
size number Size of the milestone, when defined it will fix the milestone width to the specified value
milestonesSize number Height of all milestones
headerSize number Default size of all lane headers
padding object Padding within the Pool's body element, useful when creating another shapes based on Pool

Configuration properties are set during shape definition with the Cell.define function, or anytime later with the Cell.set function:

pool.set('padding', 20);
pool.set('padding', { top: 10, right: 20, bottom: 5, left: 10 });
pool.set('lanes', [
    {
        label: 'fixed lane',
        size: 80,
        headerSize: 40
    },
    {
        label: 'lane with sublanes',
        sublanes: [
            {
                id: 'customLane'
                // omit the label property or make it undefined to hide the header
            },
            {
                label: 'sublane 1'
            }
        ]
    }
]);
pool.set('milestones', [
    {
        label: 'milestone'
    },
    {
        label: 'milestone with fixed width',
        id: 'customMilestone',
        size: 350,
    }
]);

// change the attrs using custom id
pool.attr('lane_customLane/fill', '#3cb371');
pool.attr('milestoneLabel_customMilestone/fontSize', '18');

Id of lanes and milestones

Each lane and milestone group has a unique id that can be used to target those groups or individual elements within groups. Passing string to id property of a lane or milestone will create an alias to that given group. Note: custom id must be unique and the same id cannot be assigned for more than 1 milestone or 1 lane group.

Lane group id starts with a 'lanes' prefix and a combination of numbers that is based on position within an array and nest level (sublanes). Each lane group contains the following elements:
  • lane rectangle (prefix lane)
  • header rectangle (prefix header, note that header won't be added if label is undefined)
  • label text (prefix label, note that label won't be added if it is undefined)
For example let's consider this lanes structure:
lanes: [
    {
        label: 'lane' // group id: 'lanes_0', lane id: 'lane_0', header id: 'header_0', label id: 'label_0'
    },
    {
        label: 'lane with sublanes', // group id: 'lanes_1', lane id: 'lane_1', header id: 'header_1', label id: 'label_1'
        sublanes: [
            {
                label: 'sublane 1' // group id: 'lanes_1_0', lane id: 'lane_1_0', header id: 'header_1_0', label id: 'label_1_0'
            },
            {
                label: 'sublane 2' // group id: 'lanes_1_1', lane id: 'lane_1_1', header id: 'header_1_1', label id: 'label_1_1'
            }
        ]
    },
    // example with custom id
    {
        id: 'customId',
        label: 'lane with custom id', // group id: 'lanes_customId', lane id: 'lane_customId', header id: 'header_customId', label id: 'label_customId'
        sublanes: [
            {
                label: 'sublane 1' // group id: 'lanes_2_0', lane id: 'lane_2_0', header id: 'header_2_0', label id: 'label_2_0'
            },
            {
                id: 'sublaneId',
                label: 'sublane 2' // group id: 'lanes_sublaneId', lane id: 'lane_sublaneId', header id: 'header_sublaneId', label id: 'label_sublaneId'
            }
        ]
    }
]

Similarly, each milestone group id starts with a 'milestone' prefix. Milestone group contains the following elements:
  • header rectangle (prefix milestoneHeader)
  • label text (prefix milestoneLabel)
  • milestone line (prefix milestoneLine)
Example milestones structure:
milestones: [
    {
        label: 'milestone 1' // group id: 'milestone_0', header id: 'milestoneHeader_0', label id: 'milestoneLabel_0', line id: 'milestoneLine_0'
    },
    {
        label: 'milestone 2' // group id: 'milestone_1', header id: 'milestoneHeader_1', label id: 'milestoneLabel_1', line id: 'milestoneLine_1'
    },
    // example with custom id
    {
        id: 'customId',
        label: 'milestone 3' // group id: 'milestone_customId', header id: 'milestoneHeader_customId', label id: 'milestoneLabel_customId', line id: 'milestoneLine_customId'
    }
]
shapes.bpmn2.Pool.attributes.labelAlignment

left-top Sets the alignment to top left
left-bottom Sets the alignment to left bottom
right-top Sets the alignment to right top
right-bottom Sets the alignment to right bottom
top Sets the alignment to top middle
bottom Sets the alignment to bottom middle
right Sets the alignment to right middle (default for milestone labels)
left Sets the alignment to left middle
center Sets the alignment to center (default for lane labels)

            labelAlignment: 'left' // aligns all lane labels to the left side
        },
        milestoneLabels: {
            labelAlignment: 'center' // aligns all milestone labels in the center
        },

        label_firstLane: {
            labelAlignment: 'right' // align lane label with custom id
        },
        milestoneLabel_firstMilestone: {
            labelAlignment: 'right' // align milestone label with custom id
        }
    }
});
