0.2.5 (alpha)
Pre-release
We are happy to announce a fresh Kogito Tooling release that includes a major milestone for our team -- the new Kogito Online Editor 🎉 (with GitHub integration). You can access it here: https://kiegroup.github.io/kogito-online
Online Editor
The Online Editor enabled you to edit DMN and BPMN files directly on your browser. You can create a file from scratch or upload an existing one from your device. This first version includes:
- Downloading the modified file
- Renaming the file
- Editing files in full screen
- Opening a file from GitHub, editing and going back to GitHub with a modified file (see details below)
New features are in development, so stay tuned for the next releases!
Chrome Extension
Integration with the Online Editor
Users will be able to open their files from their repositories and PRs directly in the new Online Editor. After editing a file on the Online Editor, you can go back to GitHub and commit it or open a Pull Request.
GitHub Personal Access Token
In this release we also added a stronger GitHub integration by leveraging its official API. By doing that, we have faster file fetching and no more caching issues when opening recently edited files. It’s also very important to enable future features like the Resource Content API we’ve been working on for a while now. It will allow new features to be implemented on our DMN and BPMN editors, stay tuned!
The GitHub API has a throttling mechanism with very aggressive constraints for unauthenticated requests, so to loosen that a bit, we’re introducing a way for you to provide your Personal Access Token for our extension. It’s important to say that your token is never shared or stored anywhere else other than your machine.
NOTE: To install new versions of the VSCode Extension, we recommend uninstalling any previous versions and restarting VSCode before doing so.
