CaseFabric Repository

A TypeScript package that can create and compile independent files CaseFabric design time source files into CMMN compliant definitions file.

This package is the successor of the @cafienne/repository package.

Compilation Usage

This package can be used to do compilation of CaseFabric source models.

Setup

It assumes a setup with 2 folders on disk, one having the source models, the other as the target for the compiled models. The latter one will be created if it does not exist.

The default locations are:

./repository
./repository_deploy

The locations can be overriden through environment variables

MODELER_REPOSITORY_PATH = your_source_folder_for_models
MODELER_DEPLOY_PATH = your_target_folder_for_compiled_models

More complex setup

An alternative, more complex project setup with a package.json file should contain (at least) the below content

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@casefabric/repository": "^1.1.0"
  }
}

For example

{
...
  "scripts": {
    "compileModel": "cross-env MODELER_REPOSITORY_PATH=./src/casemodels MODELER_DEPLOY_PATH=./dist/cmmn compile",
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@casefabric/repository": "^0.0.1",
    "cross-env": "^7.0.3"
  }
...
}

In a project with the following structure:

// Raw source:

src/
└── casemodels
    ├── a_new_moon.case
    └── greeting.type

↓↓↓

// Transpiled with @cafienne/repository

dist/
└── cmmn
    └── a_new_moon.xml

Then install the package with you favorite package manager, e.g. npm or yarn.

Running the compilation

Compiling entire directory

Take the following steps to compile the source models in the directory

npm run compile

Or with the example setup above:

npm run compileModel

Compiling a specific set of models

npm run compile helloworld.case hellomoon etc ...

The compile command will check if the arguments can be resolved to a file in the source folder. If a file cannot be found, it will print an error message for that specific file, and continue with the remaining arguments.

Note that the filename resolution is case sensitive
