@miragon/create-append-c7

Renamed package. This is the continuation of @miragon/miranum-create-append-c7-element-templates. npm packages cannot be renamed in place, so the project moved to this de-prefixed name starting at 0.1.0. The legacy package is deprecated and receives no further updates — switch your dependency to @miragon/create-append-c7.

A bpmn-js DI module that polyfills elementTemplates.createElement() for the Camunda 7 modeler, so the bpmn-js-create-append-anything plugin can create elements that already carry an element template.

Why this exists

bpmn-js-create-append-anything calls elementTemplates.createElement(template) to instantiate a shape that is preconfigured with a template. The Camunda 7 element-templates build does not ship createElement, so append-anything cannot create template-preconfigured elements out of the box. This module patches the missing method onto the C7 element-templates service at modeler startup.

The Camunda 8 (Cloud) build already ships createElement, so this polyfill is only needed for the Camunda 7 (Platform) modeler.

Install

npm install @miragon/create-append-c7

Peer dependencies

This module is a thin add-on to your existing bpmn-js stack and declares its hosts as peer dependencies:

Peer	Supported range
bpmn-js	^18.0.0
bpmn-js-create-append-anything	^1.2.0

Usage

Register the module as an additionalModule when you construct the Camunda 7 modeler:

import { CreateAppendC7ElementTemplatesModule } from "@miragon/create-append-c7";

const modeler = new BpmnModeler({
    additionalModules: [
        CreateAppendC7ElementTemplatesModule,
        // ...your other modules (e.g. CreateAppendElementTemplatesModule)
    ],
});

The module installs itself on init: it patches elementTemplates.createElement only when the host service does not already provide it, so it is safe to leave registered even if a future bpmn-js / Camunda build adds the method natively.
