Interface: IVariableMap<T>

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/interfaces/i_variable_map.ts:16

Variable maps are container objects responsible for storing and managing the set of variables referenced on a workspace.

Any of these methods may define invariants about which names and types are legal, and throw if they are not met.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
T extends IVariableModel<IVariableState>

Methods index

MethodDescription
getVariableById-
getVariableReturns the variable with the given name, or null if not found. If type is provided, the variable's type must also match, or null should be returned.
getAllVariables-
getVariablesOfTypeReturns a list of all of the variables of the given type managed by this variable map.
getTypesReturns a list of the set of types of the variables managed by this variable map.
createVariableCreates a new variable with the given name. If ID is not specified, the variable map should create one. Returns the new variable.
addVariable-
renameVariableChanges the name of the given variable to the name provided and returns the renamed variable.
changeVariableType-
deleteVariable-
clear-
