JavaScript client-side Activiti Explorer

mparaz — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 11:40:03 GMT

Hi,Are there plans for an Activiti Explorer with pure client-side JavaScript (or with frameworks such as jQuery?)Is it possible to build one using the REST API? As an alternative to coding custom features in Java+Vaadin.Thanks!Miguel

You're free to build whatever you want, activiti is open-source + it offers a REST-client and a clean Java API which you can leverage in your own application.

There are currently no plans from the Activiti Core devs to create another UI/example…

Thanks for your quick reply, Frederik!

I'm curious to hear other experiences or even opinions on this.

Some more detail:
I need to add stronger validation for the input fields. (I read here in the forums that this was not planned)
I don't need new workflow features, so I don't think new Java code is necessary.
I'm looking at using a JavaScript client-side framework for this.

cheers
Miguel

Like Frederik said, Activiti is UI-agnostic. Sure, we ship with a Vaadin webapp, but that is purely for demo purposes (altough you might like it enough to use it for real ;-)). Any UI library or javascript library for that matter will do. Activiti is 'just a back-end java library' so no constraints there.

I have a related question, how can I use a javascript in Vaadin, for example having a timer for loggedIn user could be client-side and doesn't need java code in Vaadin. Is there any solution to use JavaScript? how can I import it in the java code?

There are most likely solutions for that in vaadin… but you will have more luck on the Vaadin forum than here.
