proceds-blockly

proceds-blockly

This library installs new custom procedures for blockly, with custom modifications:

• The parameters now can be easily added and removed with buttons, replacing the mutator popup.
• The arguments (variables_get) are associated with the procedure. All this blocks now have a $parent field with the id of the procedure where they belong. For this to work, you must save this $parent in the mutation of variables_get.
• The 'help' option was removed from the context menu.
• The block procedures_defnoreturn has been splitted in procedures_defnoreturn and procedures_defnoreturnnoparams.
• The block procedures_defreturn has been splitted in procedures_defreturn, procedures_defreturnsimplewithparams and procedures_defreturnsimple.
• The blocks can be added on every category you want. If you want to create a category for the calls, use the custom names PROCEDURE_CALLS and FUNCTION_CALLS.
• Procedure descriptions are disabled by default.
• Support for a Blockly.CUSTOM_COLORS object.

Usage

If you desire to use a different language than Spanish, you can define your own translations for the needed blocks using Blockly.Msg, for example:

Blockly.Msg.PROCEDURES_DEFNORETURN_COMMENT = 'your translation';

Then proceed to call ProcedsBlockly.init() to load these new translations. Otherwise, you can use the default language by calling ProcedsBlockly.setDefacultLocale():

  <script src="node_modules/proceds-blockly/proceds-blockly-original.js"></script>
  <script src="node_modules/proceds-blockly/proceds-blockly.js"></script>
  <script>
    ProcedsBlockly.setDefacultLocale() // if no translation was loaded previously
    ProcedsBlockly.init();
    // or ProcedsBlockly.init("Statement"); for custom statement type configurations
  </script>
