Checkbox validator

[Julian]

I am trying to make this: https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/create-custom-blocks/fields/built-in-fields/checkbox#creating_a_checkbox_validator 

my block definition is:

The block looks like this:

and when I use the code from the link and try this:

This doesn't do anything, shouldn't validate be linked to the checkbox somehow. Also I don't know which the Dummy field is, Text will probably be the field created but DUMMY I don't know ( I all ready tried setting checkbox name to DUMMY didn't work ).

Kind regards,

Julian de Bruin

Hello Julian,

Sadly the validator doesn't get automatically connected :/ you need to manually connect it using these documented methods. The reason it doesn't get automatically connected is to allow you to have multiple fields with multiple different validators.

For your situation, since you're using a json definition, you'll probably want to do something like this:

```

Blockly.Blocks['newBlock'] = {

  init: function() {

    this.jsonInit(myJsonDef);

    this.getField('MY_CHECKBOX_FIELD_NAME').setValidator(this.validate_.bind(this));

  },

  validate_: function() { /* my custom logic */ }

}

```

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