Properties index​

PropertyDescription
DEFAULT_VALUETo overwrite the default value which is set in Field, directly update the prototype.
NBSPNon-breaking space.
SKIP_SETUPA value used to signal when a field's constructor should not set the field's value or run configure_, and should allow a subclass to do that instead.
nameName of field. Unique within each block. Static labels are usually unnamed.
value_-
validator_Validation function called when user edits an editable field.
ariaTypeNameThe ARIA-friendly label representation of this field's type.
fieldGroup_The rendered field's SVG group element.
borderRect_The rendered field's SVG border element.
textElement_The rendered field's SVG text element.
textContent_The rendered field's text content element.
constants_Constants associated with the source block's renderer.
maxDisplayLengthMaximum characters of text to display before adding an ellipsis.
sourceBlock_Block this field is attached to. Starts as null, then set in init.
visible_Is the field visible, or hidden due to the block being collapsed?
enabled_Can the field value be changed using the editor on an editable block?
clickTarget_The element the click handler is bound to.
SERIALIZABLESerializable fields are saved by the serializer, non-serializable fields are not. Editable fields should also be serializable. This is not the case by default so that SERIALIZABLE is backwards compatible.
imageHeight-
imageElementThe rendered field's image element.
EDITABLEEditable fields usually show some sort of UI indicating they are editable. This field should not.
isDirty_Used to tell if the field needs to be rendered the next time the block is rendered. Image fields are statically sized, and only need to be rendered at initialization.

Methods index​

MethodDescription
setSourceBlockAttach this field to a block.
getConstantsGet the renderer constant provider.
getSourceBlockGet the block this field is attached to.
setAriaTypeNameSets the ARIA-friendly label representation of this field's type.
initModelInitializes the model of the field after it has been installed on a block. No-op by default.
isFullBlockFieldDefines whether this field should take up the full block or not.
createBorderRect_Create a field border rect element. Not to be overridden by subclasses. Instead modify the result of the function inside initView, or create a separate function to call.
createTextElement_Create a field text element. Not to be overridden by subclasses. Instead, modify the result of the function inside initView, or create a separate function to call. Aria state is hidden; use the aria label for the field and/or containing block to expose content to screen readers. Text content for custom blocks can be set after creation.
bindEvents_Bind events to the field. Can be overridden by subclasses if they need to do custom input handling.
fromXmlSets the field's value based on the given XML element. Should only be called by Blockly.Xml.
toXmlSerializes this field's value to XML. Should only be called by Blockly.Xml.
saveStateSaves this fields value as something which can be serialized to JSON. Should only be called by the serialization system.
loadStateSets the field's state based on the given state value. Should only be called by the serialization system.
saveLegacyStateReturns a stringified version of the XML state, if it should be used. Otherwise this returns null, to signal the field should use its own serialization.
loadLegacyStateLoads the given state using either the old XML hooks, if they should be used. Returns true to indicate loading has been handled, false otherwise.
disposeDispose of all DOM objects and events belonging to this editable field.
updateEditableAdd or remove the UI indicating if this field is editable or not.
setEnabledSet whether this field's value can be changed using the editor when the source block is editable.
isEnabledCheck whether this field's value can be changed using the editor when the source block is editable.
isClickableInFlyoutCheck whether the field should be clickable while the block is in a flyout. The default is that fields are clickable in always-open flyouts such as the simple toolbox, but not in autoclosing flyouts such as the category toolbox. Subclasses may override this function to change this behavior. Note that isClickable must also return true for this to have any effect.
isCurrentlyEditableCheck whether this field is currently editable. Some fields are never EDITABLE (e.g. text labels). Other fields may be EDITABLE but may exist on non-editable blocks or be currently disabled.
isSerializableCheck whether this field should be serialized by the XML renderer. Handles the logic for backwards compatibility and incongruous states.
isVisibleGets whether this editable field is visible or not.
setValidatorSets a new validation function for editable fields, or clears a previously set validator.
getValidatorGets the validation function for editable fields, or null if not set.
getSvgRootGets the group element for this editable field. Used for measuring the size and for positioning.
getBorderRectGets the border rectangle element.
getTextElementGets the text element.
getTextContentGets the text content.
applyColourUpdates the field to match the colour/style of the block.
render_Used by getSize() to move/resize any DOM elements, and get the new size.
repositionForWindowResizeA developer hook to reposition the WidgetDiv during a window resize. You need to define this hook if your field has a WidgetDiv that needs to reposition itself when the window is resized. For example, text input fields define this hook so that the input WidgetDiv can reposition itself on a window resize event. This is especially important when modal inputs have been disabled, as Android devices will fire a window resize event when the soft keyboard opens.
positionTextElement_Position a field's text element after a size change. This handles both LTR and RTL positioning.
positionBorderRect_Position a field's border rect after a size change.
getSizeReturns the height and width of the field.
onLocationChangeNotifies the field that it has changed locations.
getDisplayText_Get the text from this field to display on the block. May differ from getText due to ellipsis, and other formatting.
getTextGet the text from this field. Override getText_ to provide a different behavior than simply casting the value to a string.
forceRerenderForce a rerender of the block that this field is installed on, which will rerender this field and adjust for any sizing changes. Other fields on the same block will not rerender, because their sizes have already been recorded.
setValueUsed to change the value of the field. Handles validation and events. Subclasses should override doClassValidation_ and doValueUpdate_ rather than this method.
getValueGet the current value of the field.
doValueInvalid_Used to notify the field an invalid value was input. Can be overridden by subclasses, see FieldTextInput. No-op by default.
onMouseDown_Handle a pointerdown event on a field.
setTooltipSets the tooltip for this field.
getTooltipReturns the tooltip text for this field.
getClickTarget_The element to bind the click handler to. If not set explicitly, defaults to the SVG root of the field. When this element is clicked on an editable field, the editor will open.
getAbsoluteXY_Return the absolute coordinates of the top-left corner of this field. The origin (0,0) is the top-left corner of the page body.
referencesVariablesWhether this field references any Blockly variables. If true it may need to be handled differently during serialization and deserialization. Subclasses may override this.
refreshVariableNameRefresh the variable name referenced by this field if this field references variables.
onShortcutHandles the given keyboard shortcut.
getFocusableElementSee IFocusableNode.getFocusableElement.
getFocusableTreeSee IFocusableNode.getFocusableTree.

Accessors​

size_​

Get Signature​

get protected size_(): Size;

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/field.ts:121

Gets the size of this field. Because getSize() and updateSize() have side effects, this acts as a shim for subclasses which wish to adjust field bounds when setting/getting the size without triggering unwanted rendering or other side effects. Note that subclasses must override both get and set if either is overridden; the implementation may just call directly through to super, but it must exist per the JS spec.

Returns​

Size

Set Signature​

set protected size_(newValue): void;

To that end, the provided value may contain message references of the form %{BKY_...} (e.g. %{BKY_MY_FIELD_ARIA_TYPE}), which are replaced with the corresponding Blockly.Msg value.

Parameters​

ParameterTypeDescription
ariaTypeNamestringAn ARIA representation of the field's type.

Returns​

void

Inherited from​

Field.setAriaTypeName


initModel()​

initModel(): void;

isFullBlockField()​

isFullBlockField(): boolean;

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/field.ts:470

Defines whether this field should take up the full block or not.

This is typically only done for certain kinds of fields and in certain renderers. You should only override this if you're sure your field will render correctly in zelos and other renderers that support full-block fields.

Blocks that contain only a single field that is a full-block-field have a special appearance in some renderers and their behavior is unique, because we pretend that the field is a whole block in some cases. This is hacky and you should use caution when attempting to do anything with this method.

Returns​

boolean

Inherited from​

Field.isFullBlockField


createBorderRect_()​

protected createBorderRect_(): void;

Returns​

void

Inherited from​

Field.createTextElement_


bindEvents_()​

protected bindEvents_(): void;

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/field.ts:532

Field.render_


repositionForWindowResize()​

repositionForWindowResize(): boolean;

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/field.ts:953

A developer hook to reposition the WidgetDiv during a window resize. You need to define this hook if your field has a WidgetDiv that needs to reposition itself when the window is resized. For example, text input fields define this hook so that the input WidgetDiv can reposition itself on a window resize event. This is especially important when modal inputs have been disabled, as Android devices will fire a window resize event when the soft keyboard opens.

If you want the WidgetDiv to hide itself instead of repositioning, return false. This is the default behavior.

DropdownDivs already handle their own positioning logic, so you do not need to override this function if your field only has a DropdownDiv.

Returns​

boolean

True if the field should be repositioned, false if the WidgetDiv should hide itself instead.

Inherited from​

Field.repositionForWindowResize


positionTextElement_()​

computeAriaLabel()​

computeAriaLabel(includeTypeInfo): string;

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/field_image.ts:354

Computes a descriptive ARIA label to represent this field with configurable verbosity.

A 'verbose' label includes type information, if available, whereas a non-verbose label only contains the field's value.

Note that this will always return the latest representation of the field's label which may differ from any previously set ARIA label for the field itself. Implementations are largely responsible for ensuring that the field's ARIA label is set correctly at relevant moments in the field's lifecycle (such as when its value changes).

Finally, it is never guaranteed that implementations use the label returned by this method for their actual ARIA label. Some implementations may rely on other contexts to convey information like the field's value. Example: checkboxes represent their checked/non-checked status (i.e. value) through a separate ARIA property.

Returns an empty string on clickable images (buttons), as we do not want to include image buttons on the block-level ARIA label. When the button is focused the label is set in recomputeAriaContext below.

Parameters​

ParameterTypeDescription
includeTypeInfobooleanWhether to include the field's type information in the returned label, if available.

Returns​

string

Overrides​

Field.computeAriaLabel
