The following tools are available as a part of SpiffArena, but can also be used independently. They are all open source, and we welcome contributions.
SpiffEditor
We’ve built a number of extensions to the excellent open source BPMN.js editor, specifically for SpiffWorkflow. Here are a few of the major features:
- Data Objects, Inputs and Outputs: Improved support for adding, referencing, and updating data references, providing a standards-based way to manage data within a diagram.
- Call Activities: Offers tight integration with SpiffArena so you can quickly navigate to diagrams referenced within other diagrams.
- Custom Properties Panel: A new properties panel with multiple features including: custom editors for Python, Markdown, and JSON; the ability to add short pre- and post- scripts to any task; and a Python Unit Testing editor, among many other enhancements.
- Messages: We added support for the BPMN Messaging standard to ensure you can easily create Messages and associated conversation elements (correlation properties and keys).
Connector Proxy and Connectors
Connector Proxies provide a discoverable, plug-in style architecture for adding connections to third-party applications that work seamlessly with SpiffWorkflow, SpiffArena, and the SpiffEditor. We created a Demo Connector Proxy that you can use to get started.
Each Connector included in the Connector Proxy is itself a small standalone Python application. Check out our AWS Connector for an example. Adding new plugins is relatively easy, and we welcome contributions here.
