Generate Nested JSON with Blockly

[br...@sltwtr.com]

Has anyone used Blockly to generate a nested JSON object?

I looked at the code for if/else and thing it can be modified into a node object:

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

  // If/elseif/else condition.

  var n = 0;

  var code = '', branchCode, conditionCode;

  do {

    conditionCode = Blockly.JavaScript.valueToCode(block, 'IF' + n,

      Blockly.JavaScript.ORDER_NONE) || 'false';

    branchCode = Blockly.JavaScript.statementToCode(block, 'DO' + n);

    code += (n > 0 ? ' else ' : '') +

        'if (' + conditionCode + ') {\n' + branchCode + '}';

    ++n;

  } while (block.getInput('IF' + n));

  if (block.getInput('ELSE')) {

    branchCode = Blockly.JavaScript.statementToCode(block, 'ELSE');

    code += ' else {\n' + branchCode + '}';

  }

  return code + '\n';

};

Then I would like to be able to insert preconfigured JSON nodes as new types of blocks.

I haven't tried this, but it's certainly possible. We already allow nested arrays through the list blocks.

The controls_if block is a good basis for creating a block for a JSON object. Not only does it have a variable length, with the mutator to manage the length, but it also has a parameter (boolean, in the if case) for each input. In the JSON object case, these would be string and number keys.
