A Google TechTalk, 2019/10/10, presented by Beka Westberg.
ABSTRACT: Blockly now supports fully custom fields! Fields are renderable components on a block that are usually editable by a user. The new APIs make creating custom fields easy and bring consistency to their input validation. Follow along with Beka as she shows off examples for creating custom fields and validators, from turtle pickers to mini block backpacks.
