It gives BPMN model files the same sort of repeatable command-line checks that source code gets from language linters. ### Project history The official repository README presents bpmnlint as a command-line and Node.js library for validating BPMN diagrams, configured through `.bpmnlintrc` and rule sets such as `bpmnlint:recommended`. The first visible tagged alpha in the repository dates to September 2018, followed by v1.0.0 the next day. The changelog shows steady rule and platform evolution: configurable rules, browser bundling, custom rule resolution, BPMN DI checks, moddle extensions, Node version requirements, and new correctness/recommended rule coverage. ### Adoption history bpmnlint's adoption is mostly inside the BPMN and bpmn.io ecosystem. The README points to npm installation, custom plugins, visual feedback through bpmn-js-bpmnlint, a playground, generated docs images, and bundler integrations. Homebrew packaging gives the CLI a system-package route, but the upstream distribution model is clearly npm and Node.js module resolution, especially for plugins named `bpmnlint-plugin-*`. ### How it is used Typical usage runs `bpmnlint invoice.bpmn` and receives line-item errors and warnings for process modeling problems such as missing start or end events, unlabeled elements, and sequence-flow issues. Teams configure `.bpmnlintrc` with built-in rulesets, custom rule severities, plugins, and optional moddle extensions. The API also allows embedding linting in Node.js tools that parse BPMN XML with bpmn-moddle. ### Why package nerds care bpmnlint is notable because it packages a domain-specific modeling discipline as a familiar CLI linter. It brings BPMN quality checks into CI and editor workflows instead of leaving validation only inside graphical modeling tools. For package collections, it is a niche but useful example of Node-based developer tooling escaping npm-only usage and becoming a command installed by system package managers. ### Timeline - 2018: v1.0.0-alpha5 and v1.0.0 tags appear in September. - 2020: 7.8.0 added configurable rules according to the changelog. - 2024: 11.0.0 required Node 20 according to the changelog. - 2026: 11.12.1 tag appears in the official GitHub repository. ### Related projects - The README names bpmn-js-bpmnlint for visual modeling feedback, bpmnlint-playground for trying rules, bpmnlint-plugin-example for plugin authors, and bpmn-moddle for BPMN XML parsing. - It is part of the broader bpmn.io project family, alongside BPMN modeling, moddle, and browser-based BPMN tooling. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
