Typescript and Blockly

[Stephen Cameron]

Hi, great project

Was thinking of using Blockly to use types and definitions from typescript and also generate code with it

Still getting used to Blockly and typescript but would be happy to see what others may suggest

Great project here

Hello,

It is definitely possible to write TypeScript and talk to Blockly. All code in core Blockly is annotated for the Closure compiler, and those annotations are used to generate typings =) But be warned, if you do decide to go this route there will likely always be a few fixes you need to apply. I believe #2937 is kept up with the latest fixes.

If you want to /generate/ TypeScript code with Blockly, that is also possible, but there's no built-in language generator for TypeScript, so you'll have to build your own. There's a great codelab that walks you through creating a JSON language generator, which will help familiarize you with the API. You can also check out the built-in language generators, for example, the JavaScript language generator.

I hope that helps! If you have any further questions please reply =)
