Camunda modeler extensibility

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

Hi everyone,

Have a few questions regarding camunda modeler. I have downloaded Camunda Modeler source code from camunda modeler and this seems to work fine and opens up the windows standalone application.

  1. Can I also be able launch it as a browser based application? If so are there any separate steps to launch on browser? Any documentation available?
  2. Is the code extensible as in will I also be able to add on functionalities such as suggested in the bpmn.io examples provided? (adding custom elements etc).
    Regards

Hi Niall,
These are for bpmn.io. I want to know if the same can be made use for in the camunda modeler code.

No, the Camunda Modeler cannot be launched in the browser.

The extensibility of the modeler will always be limited. We recently shipped an experimental plug-in feature though that may be used to plug-in some of the examples provided for bpmn.io.
