How to create code generator for c language using blockly.

[Vivek]

Hi all,

I want to create blocks using blockly that will generate c code. So I need help in generating c language code from blocks.

Please tell me the steps needed for this.

Best Regards

Vivek

Hi Vivek,

Here are some topics I'd look into:

Existing generators: 

Documentation: https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/configure/web/code-generators

Code: https://github.com/google/blockly/tree/master/generators

Past messages from the forum:

Erik already pointed you to some in this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/blockly/c$20generator%7Csort:date/blockly/K6aXEmHZ3iw/gJcCuvGABgAJ

Here's a search of the forum that has some good threads in it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/blockly/c$20generator%7Csort:date

What some of the historical messages are missing is the fact that Blockly now supports typed variables, which might make building generators for typed languages easier.  Documentation for that is here: https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/create-custom-blocks/variables#typed_variable_blocks

 Did you ever make or find a real good C generator that feels like Blockly? While I found Lisa below it doesn't seem to work even just trying to create and print a text variable.
