Class: Renderer

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/renderers/geras/renderer.ts:28

The geras renderer. This renderer was designed to be backwards compatible with pre-2019 Blockly. Newer projects that are not constrained by backwards compatibility should use thrasos, which is a more modern take on this renderer.

Geras is the ancient Greek spirit of old age.

Methods index

MethodDescription
getClassNameGets the class name that identifies this renderer.
disposeDispose of this renderer. Delete all DOM elements that this renderer and its constants created.
getConstantsGet the current renderer's constant provider. We assume that when this is called, the renderer has already been initialized.
shouldHighlightConnectionDetermine whether or not to highlight a connection.
orphanCanConnectAtEndChecks if an orphaned block can connect to the "end" of the topBlock's block-clump. If the clump is a row the end is the last input. If the clump is a stack, the end is the last next connection. If the clump is neither, then this returns false.
initInitialize the renderer. Geras has a highlight provider in addition to the normal constant provider.
refreshDomRefresh the renderer after a theme change.
makeConstants_Create a new instance of the renderer's constant provider.
makeRenderInfo_Create a new instance of the renderer's render info object.
makeDrawer_Create a new instance of the renderer's drawer.
makePathObjectCreate a new instance of a renderer path object.
makeHighlightConstants_Create a new instance of the renderer's highlight constant provider.
getHighlightConstantsGet the renderer's highlight constant provider. We assume that when this is called, the renderer has already been initialized.

topBlock,
orphanBlock,
localType
): boolean;

init()

init(theme, opt_rendererOverrides?): void;

Defined in: packages/blockly/core/renderers/geras/renderer.ts:43

ParameterTypeDescription
svgSVGElementThe root of the workspace's SVG.
themeThemeThe workspace theme object.

Child workspaces should not override the CSS variables created by the parent and thus do not need access to the injection div.

Returns

void

Overrides

Renderer.refreshDom
