Add shape with automatic connection in pure diagram.js

Developers

Hi,
I’d like to add option to create shape (start as a context pad of other element) with automatic connection between those 2 shapes (new one and the one with context pad).
I’ve found that that there are stuff like hints.connection and hints.connectionTarget in dragging module, but I’m not sure if this is the way how should I go with?
Could you please advice me. Maybe you have similar stuff in other projects.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Michal

You can use Modeling#appendShape. The connection should be created automatically (cf. diagram-js/AppendShapeHandler.js at develop · bpmn-io/diagram-js · GitHub) unless you specify otherwise.
