Philipp Fromme 4388359fb1 chore(autp-place): move helper function to util 2019-04-30 09:32:42 +00:00
Nico Rehwaldt 9be61259bd chore(project): drop 'use strict'
We use ES modules, so 'use strict' is not necessary anymore.

Nico Rehwaldt d3449ca87c chore(project): es6ify source code
* use ES6 import / export
* UTILS: export individual utilities
* TESTS: localize TestHelper includes

BREAKING CHANGE:

* all utilities export independent functions
* library sources got ported to ES6. You must now use
  a ES module bundler such as Browserify + babelify or
  Webpack to consume this library (or parts of it).

Nico Rehwaldt ae96f3714d feat(modeling): add auto placement from context menu
Elements will automatically be created at appropriate
positions when context menu create entries are being
clicked (rather than dragged).

This marks a major step forward for mobile modeling,
too as dragging, especially dragging out from very small
controls is very cumbersome to do.

Things we take into account:

* for bpmn:FlowNodes, we try to compute the current
  distance between elements on the flow based on
  connections going in and out of the flow nodes
  source element
* for bpmn:TextAnnotation we assume placement of the
  element top right of the source shape
* for bpmn:DataObject and friends we assume a
  placement bottom right of the source shape
* for all elements, we try not to place elements on
  top of each other; i.e. new elements will be pushed
  up or down accordingly, if an element at a chosen
  position does already exist

Integration into other services:

* context pad provider works with autoPlace, if
  available and defaults to drag start without
* auto placed elements are selected and direct editing
  may conditionally be activated based on element type
  (LabelEditingProvider knows the rules)

Users can out out of autoPlace by specifying the configuration
property `config.contextPad.autoPlace = false`.

Closes #563

BREAKING CHANGE:

* This breaks the default interaction from the context
  pad; if you rely on clicking to start the drag
  you can opt out of autoPlace:

  ```
  new BpmnJS({ contextPad: { autoPlace: false } });
  ```
