Methods

initComponents()

Initializes each of the relevant components of BlockPy. For more information, consult each of the component's relevant JS file in turn.
Source:

initDevelopment()

Initiailizes certain development data, useful for testing out new modules in Skulpt.
Source:

initInterface()

Initializes the User Inteface for the instance, by loading in the HTML file (which has been manually encoded into a JS string using the build.py script). We do this because its a giant hassle to keep HTML correct when it's stored in JS strings. We should look into more sophisticated templating features, probably.
Source:

initMain()

Initializes the BlockPy object by initializing its interface, model, and components.
Source:

initModel()

Applys the KnockoutJS bindings to the model, instantiating the values into the HTML.
Source:

reportError()

Redundant method for reporting an error. If this is used anywhere, it should be converted to direct calls to components.feedback.
Source:

setCode(code, namenullable) → {Boolean}

Helper function for setting the current code, optionally in the given filename.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
code String The new Python source code to set.
name String <nullable>
 An optional filename (e.g,. '__main__') to update. Defaults to the currently selected filename.
Source:
Returns:
- whether the code was updated (i.e. there was a diff between new and old).
Type
Boolean

turnOnHacks()

Function for running any code that fixes bugs and stuff upstream. Not pleasant that this exists, but better to have it isolated than just lying about randomly...
