Hello,
I am very new to javascript and blockly world. Though I played with scratch and appinventor well. I want to create custom blocks to accept some inputs. After that I want that data in JSON format. I dont want that in Javascript in python for further code.
How can I do that?
Waiting for reply,
Thanks,
Suraj Narwade

Hi Suraj,
I'm not sure what you're asking for. Blockly doesn't run user's blocks directly, it generates text code that has to run somewhere else. Are you generating Python code for your Blocks? Are you trying to convert user input into JSON in generated Python code?

Hey Erik,
Thanks for quick reply.
I am not generating python code but I want to generate YAML file, so I
want to know what blockly do after getting inputs from blocks. is it
JSON or XML.
if its JSON how can I retrieve that JSON for further processing for my app.

Blockly takes text in all its inputs. Since it generates code for another language and doesn't run anything directly, any inputs that aren't text have to be defined in the code you're generating or have some custom code that converts it to text for the generator.

This is done by the code generators for each block. Check out the Generating code guide for some examples.
