Can somebody tell me step by step how to load unsandboxed addons? I'm not familiar with javascript, so most of this thread doesn't make sense to me.

You might want to look at the unsandboxed extension directory, and turbowarp unsandboxed exts

If anyone can make a log in log out cloud extension I would have a happy life lmao.

It wouldn't be hard to make if you had an extension that allowed cloud lists or had a separate server.

WHAT!?! I'll have to start using it more.

Hi there,
I am building an extension following the Turbbowarp documentation and I've got some doubts. The extension is working OK with Turbowarp.
How to actually port it to scratch?
I know there is not button to load an unsandboxed extention, so what would be the procedure? I am expecting to clone the Scratch-vm, add the extension in the folder and then what?

I am not yet considering to upload as ‘official’ release. I am targeting for now a custom scratch deployment with the extension.

Thanks

I don't think you can upload unsandboxed extensions to scratch. However, you could possibly use the Turbowarp Packager to generate a file. If that doesn't work, there might be a way to just generate a link to it. Please tell me what works because I am trying to make a project that uses unsandboxed extensions so if we could find a way that would be great.

Yes, Scratch does not have the option to load custom extensions. As you have said Turbowarp does and indeed we are working on the development using Turbowarp and following the documentation. As I've said I am able already to load it and works -almost- perfectly. I say almost because if I load it from Safari it does not load it, while from chrome and the desktop app works perfectly. This is a minor problem for me.

I have no problems submitting the extension via Turbowarp repository. The only thing is that it will be a Turbowarp extension, not a Scratch one right?
I am just curious on how to at least test it with Scracth.

I know there is a documentation now, but I could not find a way to create a development environment for Scratch.

EDIT: I've tried the packager but, if I am not wrong, is not doing what I need. I need to export a file with the extension loaded but with still access to the block palette and being able to modify the algorithm. The way the packager works is by returning the ‘outcome’ of the algorithm. I am happy to be wrong here .

I tried to find a link generator and did (I think) but it was blocked by parental controls. You might be able to just put the HTML code from the packager into the instructions and copy-paste into the website using developer tools.

PS. Just wondering, what does your extension do?

It's a very simple extension TBH. I work for a networking company and it's been many years that I do volunteering activities with scratch. The idea now is to build an extension that interacts with real (actually virtual) networking devices to start introducing networking concepts to children.

Actually what I am doing is consuming API from an external component that takes of all the stuff that come when accessing network devices. This incredibly simplifies the Scratch extension.

I don't want to go too much OT so I will stop here . Long story short I am looking at ways on how to ‘distribute’ the extension in case the Turbowarp does not accepts the PR.

Cool. I wish I knew JavaScript so that I could make unsandboxed extensions.

How do i make my own extenstion on a managed chromebook with github blocked.

Hello, if anyone wants to make an extension I could be the designer. I'm a designer and I can help you

About unsandboxed extensions
unsandboxed extensions are scratch extensions that have full access to the scratch VM

benifits to unsandboxed mode

1. Your extension has access to the scratch VM
   
2. Your extension runs faster (usually)
   
3. You have access to all browser api's
   

Some Examples
Everything in Scratch 3.0 *Unsandboxed* Extension Directory


The Guide itself

Precursor
The Creating extensions for Scratch 3.0 thread by NitroCipher is a precursor to this thread, and shows how to make scratch extentons that are sandboxed. but also does into detail on how to set your environment and extension class up


How to load unsandboxed extentions

        // major credit to CST for this (I did modify it some to allow sandboxed if you only want the speed boost (:
	const extensionClass = YourExt;
	if (Scratch) {
		if (Scratch.extensions.unsandboxed) {
			Scratch.extensions.register(new extensionClass(Scratch.vm));
		} else {
                        // comment out if you use VM things
			Scratch.extensions.register(new extensionClass());
                        // throw new Error("YourExt cannot run in sandboxed mode.");
		} 
	} else if (globalThis.vm) {
		// Support loading the extension "the old way"
		// (running the code in something like the browser console
		// or E羊icques' load_plugin URL parameter)
		const extensionInstance = new extensionClass(globalThis.vm);
		const serviceName = globalThis.vm.extensionManager._registerInternalExtension(
			extensionInstance
		);
		globalThis.vm.extensionManager._loadedExtensions.set(
			extensionInstance.getInfo().id, serviceName
		); 
	} else {
		throw new Error("Scratch Not detected"); // no idea if there is anything else i can do here
	};

Scratch VM Docs
There Is currently documentation of the Scratch VM, but it uses jsdoc. The Docs are not helpful. The url is here
Warning: it is on github pages, which is blocked by most schools

another good source of documentation is Turbowarp's type repo . Its helpful because you can load it into your TypeScript aware IDE and see all the vm's types and internals in intelisense.

Browser API Docs

The Most trusted Browser API docs are made by Mozilla. (the company that owns firefox). here are some useful links for making scratch extentions.

1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API
   
2. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
   
3. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web
   

The name of the web documentation is mdn (mozilla developer network) web docs. it has a github and a website.

   this is incredibly interesting, unsandboxed extensions seem really useful. why haven't i heard of this??

   
   Because before a few weeks ago, you had to use internal Scratch.extentions.* methods
   

so we could do blocks like

<sprite [ sprite1 ] is real? :: extension>
add [sprite v] named [ sprite2] :: extension
when something happends :: extension hat

and more other things?

when u respond :: sensing hat
make [me v] say [yes] :: looks
when <everyone questions why i said (thing i said :: looks) :: #fff000> :: control{
say [yes]
make [everyone v] say [huh] :: looks
ok its end :: control

so i think this is good
