In our previous post about integrating C++ and QML we have explained why it is important to integrate C++ and QML and covered the basics of this mechanism. In this article we will go into more details and discuss a specific real-life example of integrating elements which can be instantiated one-time only (aka. singletons).
This tutorial about how to expose object and register C++ class to Qml is the first post in the new post series on Scythe Studio blog. The series is going to be entitled “How to integrate Qml and C++”. With the new Qt 6 version it’s not that clear how to properly and easily implement this crucial mechanism in Qt software development. Especially as many people currently move to CMake from qmake. Therefore, we thought that it would be a nice opportunity to explain various ways of Qml and C++ integration in details.
Future posts will cover mechanisms like models and plugins, but for now let’s focus on the basics and let’s explain how to access C++ object from Qml and how to register C++ class to QML.
There is no argue that QML is an amazing technology to develop an outstanding user interface matching today’s trends. The QML language has beautiful and easy to learn syntax, but the code doesn’t structure itself that. By its nature, it can easily get messy. Therefore, you need to learn how to write clean QML code in order to keep your Qt software project easily maintainable. Ergo, to make savings on money and time.
If we think about it for a minute, it is impossible to imagine an app without a UI. We need buttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus and much more. Almost all of these controls are created using 2D elements. However, sometimes we need to put some depth into the UI.
Let's face it? It is a challenge to get top Qt Qml developers on board. Help yourself and start the collaboration with Scythe Studio - real experts in Qt C++ framework.
