Is there a way to put several groups of blocks into just one block to condense the code in blocks view?
Example: I create Bluetooth connection. I put all those blocks into one tidy block to put in my backpack and simply drop that into other future apps where i need a Bluetooth connection.
I imagine something like this:
There was once a student project to do exactly that, but it never made the final cut. Similar solutions are often discussed but creating a completely new IDE is a huge task and the MIT team is small.
What you can do is to save template Projects. Your Bluetooth Connection blocks could be saved as a Project which could later be used as the basis of an App or transferred to another Project via the BackPack.
You could also download the blocks’ .png files and save them for other projects, like in
this video …
Collect the .PNG files in file system directories or github projects to group them.
The most elegant solution I suspect. Still, a “Modular block” would be very handy.
One of the web browser extensions in
has a bulk blocks image exporter.
The exported block images can be dragged into the Blocks Editor Workspace of other projects.
