Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/sartography/spiff-example-cli.git

Set up virtual environment

cd spiff-example-cli
python3 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate

Install Requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Using the Application

This application is intended to accompany the documentation for SpiffWorkflow. Further discussion of the models and application can be found there.

Models

Example BPMN and DMN files can be found in the bpmn directory of this repository. There are several versions of a product ordering process of variying complexity located in the bpmn/tutorial directory of the repo which contain most of the elements that SpiffWorkflow supports. These diagrams can be viewed in any BPMN editor, but many of them have custom extensions created with bpmn-js-spiffworflow.

Loading Workflows

To add a workflow via the command line and store serialized specs in JSON files:

./runner.py -e spiff_example.spiff.file add \
   -p order_product \
   -b bpmn/tutorial/{top_level,call_activity}.bpmn \
   -d bpmn/tutorial/{product_prices,shipping_costs}.dmn

Running Workflows

To run the curses application using serialized JSON files:

./runner.py -e spiff_example.spiff.file

Select the 'Start Workflow' screen and start the process.

Run in docker

./bin/run_in_docker --help
