Part 4: The Pro-Coder

Pro-Coder Features

In the first two chapters, we talked about the pro-coder. In this chapter, we’ll dive deeper into what a pro-coder can actually do in the platform with some examples. The two main pro-coder features of the platform that we’ll discuss are the component set and the action functions.

The main topics of this chapter are as follows:

  • The component set
  • Structure of a component and prefab
  • Using a new component
  • Action steps

By the end of this chapter, you’ll have a better understanding of what the pro-coder features are and what you can use them for. This guide will not go into detail about how to create them (for pro-coders, this should not be a hard task), since I will assume you already know how to code. The focus is on understanding the way Betty Blocks implements these features, so that you, as a pro-coder, can utilize them to their full potential.

The main language for using the pro-coder features is JavaScript/TypeScript...
