Extend bpmn-io-chrome/bpmn-js (offline modeler) with own elements

[pengu...@gmail.com]

Hello,

for my master thesis I'd like to implement a modeling tool based on bpmn-io (the offline version). Therefore I have to extend the modeler (palette) with new elements.
I have already downloaded bpmn-io-chrome and it is running with a local version of bpmn-js. In that local bpmn-js, I have added a new element to the PaletteProvier and also added this new element to the BpmnRender.
The result so far is the following: The new element does show up with its icon in the palette but I can not create an element by dragging the icon to the workspace, I can just drag the icon around, but no "real" shape is created.

Do you have any suggestions what I am missing? What is the correct way to add a new element to the modeler?

Thanks for any help!

Best regards,
Kerstin

Hi Kerstin,

I think your question is better asked on the bpmn.io forum: https://forum.bpmn.io/
