Automatically generate BPMN/DMN SVG on VS Code

Authors

To provide better integration with the KIE server and Business Central, on the Kogito Tooling 0.14 release, we introduced a way to, on VS Code, automatically generate SVG on each save of your BPMN and DMN Diagram. Take a look at this feature in action:

How to configure it

To auto-generate on VS Code the SVG on each save of your BPMN and DMN diagrams; you need to add two properties to your user and workspace settings (settings.json, the VS Code configuration file):

"kogito.bpmn.runOnSave": "extension.kogito.silentlyGenerateSvgBpmn",
"kogito.dmn.runOnSave": "extension.kogito.silentlyGenerateSvgDmn",

To do that, open your user and workspace settings, use the following VS Code menu command:

  • On Windows/Linux - File > Preferences > Settings
  • On macOS - Code > Preferences > Settings

From there, access menu Extension > BPMN (or DMN), and click on 'Edit in settings.json':

And finally, add the respective properties to the end of this file and save it:
