Difference between Workspace and WorkspaceSvg

[Prabakar Puvanathasan]

Hi,

What is the difference between Workspace (https://developers.google.com/blockly/reference/js/Blockly.Workspace) and WorkspaceSvg (https://developers.google.com/blockly/reference/js/Blockly.WorkspaceSvg) instances? Can I get one instance from the other?

thank you

Sorry, I forgot to add the following to the question. When we inject into blockly via, Blockly.inject(), it returns a workspace instance. This instance is of type Blockly.Workspace. How can I get the associated Blockly.WorkspaceSvg instance?

thank you

Blockly.inject() returns a WorkspaceSvg instance. WorkspaceSvg is a subclass of Workspace that includes all the HTML/SVG rendering necessary to present to the user. Workspace is the more limited superclass that does not include rendering and user interaction, and is ideal for running in a headless/server environment such as Node.js.

An example of a headless Workspace is here: https://blockly-demo.appspot.com/static/demos/headless/index.html

There's no SVG visualization.  Any workspace you can see is a WorkspaceSvg.

Thank you guys for clarifying it for me. I just realize that on the documentation it does mention WorkspaceSvg extends Workspace.
