scratchblocks2

This package is based and should be a drop-in replacement of the original scratchblocks one.

Difference with the original package

This packages:

• is a complete rewrite of the code
  • no more 1000+ lines long files
  • better OO structure (using ES6 classes)
  • files are better organized and in a more understandable manner
  • better doc inside the code
  • provides type safety (thanks to TypeScript)
• makes the code much more easily upgradable
• is language agnostic
  • doesn't consider English being the default, at least in the code (only as the default locale)
• decouples the view (render) from the model
  • makes it possible to add new blocks, sources of blocks, renderers and project loaders easily
• new features
  • allows to import Scratch projects
• doesn't rely on the translations from the Scratch website
  • original package wasn't updated with newer translations anyway
  • translation changes don't need approval from the Scratch Team

Organisation

This package is divided in multiple folders:

• lib the library in itself (and UMD module)
• docs a small website for testing / messing around purposes
• lambda the code when setting up a SAAS instance (Google Cloud Platform in this case)
• test the tests for the whole package
