DefaultFactory​

type DefaultFactory = () => dia.Cell;

ImportOptions​

interface ImportOptions {
bpmn2Shapes: {
[name in ShapeName]: new (attributes?: any, opt?: any) => dia.Cell
};
cellFactories?: {
[element in DecisiveElements]?: (
xmlNode: Element,
xmlDoc: XMLDocument,
shapeClass: typeof dia.Cell,
defaultFactory: DefaultFactory
) => dia.Cell | null
};
embedCell?: (parent: dia.Cell, child: dia.Cell) => void;
useLegacyPool?: boolean;
convertXMLId?: (id: string) => void;
}

embedCell()​

Specify how to embed a child cell into a parent cell. By default, the child cell is added to the parent cell's embeds attribute.

useLegacyPool​

Set to false to use the new bpmn2.CompositePool shape. Default is true.

convertXMLId()​

Specify how to convert an XML id to a JointJS cell id. By default, the id_ prefix is removed from the XML id if it is present.

ImportResult​

interface ImportResult {
cells: dia.Cell[];
errors: string[];
}

ShapeName​

type ShapeName =
'Activity' |
'Event' |
'Gateway' |
'DataObject' |
'DataAssociation' |
'Flow' |
'Annotation' |
'AnnotationLink' |
'Group' |
'HeaderedPool' |
'HeaderedHorizontalPool' |
'HeaderedVerticalPool' |
