It seems like you got general problems here with bundling your web application to make it available in the browser. That’s nothing that really depends on the bpmn.io toolkit. I’d suggest to gather more knowledge about this, first.
what function it() meaning?
Welcome to our test environment. We use mocha, chai, karma, and friends. I’d also recommend having a look at these concepts.
One note: please try to concentrate one thread for one question. It will otherwise extremely hard for us to help you in an orderly manner.
Where? i can`t find any human-readable centralized-structured documentation, anywere. That i can use.
It’s a very pity to lose so much time on simple things. it makes me crazy
When i use jQuery or other library - i just use them, i havent to compile it each time for extension or downloading 3gb of other sources (for the sake of 400kb sources). I cant explain how it`s terrible. it absolutely crazy.
Suggestion: I doubt that anyone is able to help you with the style of communication you are doing here. Please try to be kind and formalize your request for support in an orderly, structured manner. It’s not likely that you have to download that amount of data (3 GB) to use our libraries, by far not. So I think it really depends on your local setup.
If you want us to help you, please try to create an environment/style of communication that makes it at least doable for us to do so. We will always keep on trying to support you if we can.
i didnt have screenshots now, but with installing node-js they also download 3gb of sources
and i didn`t know why, but they also install Python + ton of other software
now on my machine iv got 5 different instalation of python ( hello windows! )
When i reads docs on first time i expected to receive something like 500-1000Kb of js-code
like in jQuery:
then when i compiled bpmn2-properties-panel.js
compilier make me one big file of sources with compiled in jQuery (inside app.js)
and i absolutely cant edit those or somehow translate variables
i spend 2 days only for installing and compiling those
and it`s didnt done yet… i cant use lib still.
it takes spend week or more just for those basic operations, how i see.
Again sorry for rage, but im compelled say that, because i didnt expect thinks like that and i didnt see this somewhere else. its very new practice for me.
i realy have some big troubles with understanding all of it.
Without the source code there is no UI so how can you love the UI but hate the source code?
I build my web-app without a ton of codding. All interfaces, tables, windows, most of ETL i make in config or visually. And i didnt need to code a lot of things, excepts some data-processing.
All sites i also make visually, i just design them, even e-commerce projects or other stuff.
So we (world) already have many no-code or less-code solutions and in future will have much less developers than now. Every line of code it`s like manufactory labor. Then humanity came up with water pumps and the rest technology. Soo with developers now or later will be same situation.
In our days it`s only first steps in this direction.
i didn`t want jQuery in compiled package (inside /dist/app.js file )
because a already have on my page (over script tag)
2. I need init
////////////////////////////
// file: page.html
////////////////////////////
initBpmnModeller(...);
// i must call loadDiagramData() this there
// but iw got:
// Uncaught ReferenceError: "loadDiagramData" is not defined
$.get('/some/link/to/receive.xml',loadDiagramData,'get'); // some ajax-function
////////////////////////////
// file: app.js
////////////////////////////
initBpmnModeller(args){
// ...
}
function createNewDiagram() {
openDiagram(diagramXML);
}
// but with function defined here
function loadDiagramData(xmlReceivedFromWebPage) {
openDiagram(xmlReceivedFromWebPage);
}
import diagramXML from '../resources/newDiagram.bpmn';
3. Question:
is there any way to write my extension in ( page.html ) ?
without compiling of (app.js)
but with installing node-js they also download 3gb of sources
and i didn`t know why, but they also install Python + ton of other software
now on my machine iv got 5 different instalation of python ( hello windows! )
But to understand: how is this related to bpmn.io? We can’t control how you setup your local dev environment. And we have nothing to do with python, I promise!
is there any way to write my extension in ( page.html ) ?
You don’t need to bundle bpmn-js, the basic Modeler/ Viewer is also available in a pre-packaged version.
However, once things get more complicated, it’s likely you need an extra bundling step to make it run inside the browser. That’s nothing that depends on bpmn-io, that’s a fact by the JS ecosystem. Browsers like Chrome become better and better to provide all the features out-of-the-box. Unfortunately, there is no 100% coverage so far.
