StatementToCode with Custom Blocks

[Sofia Galan Bataller]

Hello,

I looked for answer to my very simple question however I think I might be missing something.  I'm tying to understand how to obtain data contained in block that has other blocks on it.

This are my code generators, 

Blockly.JavaScript['object'] = function(block) {

 var dropdown_value = block.getFieldValue('VALUE');

 var statements_object = Blockly.JavaScript.statementToCode(block, 'variablex'); /* <----- Here is my doubt when I try to connect a custom block*/

var code = 'Value Object:'+ dropdown_value + 'Statements:'+ statements_object;

 console.log(code); /* I'm getting nothing in statement_objects because I think it doesn't undestand what variablex is*/

 return (code);

};

Blockly.JavaScript['variablex'] = function(block) {

 var number_x = block.getFieldValue('X');

 var code = 'pos'+ number_x+';\n';

 console.log("Value VariableX"+ code);

 return (code);

};

When I try to input this blocks:

- I get the both unique blocks in my console.log and in my  javascript output code

- The cluster of blocks only prints the 'Objeto' or the purple one surrounding the little blocks in my console.log and javascript output code

- I get a null from staments_objects

 

I want to learn how to read StatementToCode of Custom Blocks if possible,

Thank you in advance! I hope I was clear enough, if something doesn't make sense please let me know. 

- Sofia

Hi Sofia,

From looking at your code, I think the issue is that you aren't passing the right name in your call to statementToCode in the 'object' block generator. Instead of passing 'variableX', I think you'll need to pass the name that you assigned to that input_statement in the 'object' block definition.

I hope that helps! Otherwise, it might be useful to also share the block definitions for 'object' and 'variableX' blocks.
