How to push data from an angular app into dmn-js editor/viewer

Good evening!!!

We are trying to include dmn-js with some customization into our angular application. Several of our use cases require that the angular app pushes data into dmn-js. An example use case would be to pass rule id’s from the app to dmn-js, then navigate to the respective decision table and highlight the rule. What are the best options for this (passing data into editor/viewer)

Thank you…

Did some research in bpmn-js code base and found this example,

where an injected service is used as follows,
var overlays = viewer.get(‘overlays’)

I am taking this as one of the approach to get a custom service object (that i will inject using additionalModules) and pass on data to it, that way it can relay it back to other dmn-js modules/services.

Are there any other approaches?

Thank you…

Creating custom, injectable services is one way. Next to additionalModules, you can also include additional configuration into your Viewer. One example are the expression languages.

Thank you for your response. I will take a look at it…
