ControlPanelUtils QML Type

A singleton providing helper functions for type conversion and default value creation. More...

• List of all members, including inherited members

Methods

• getDefaultValue(type, structFields, enumModel)
• parseValue(text, type)

Detailed Description

ControlPanelUtils is used internally by the control panel controls to parse user input into the correct JavaScript type and to create default values when new items are added to lists or models.

Functions

• parseValue() – converts a string to the JavaScript type indicated by a type name ("int", "real", "bool", or "string").
• getDefaultValue() – returns a sensible default for a given type, including recursive struct construction.

Usage

var intVal = ControlPanelUtils.parseValue("42", "int")   // 42
var defVal = ControlPanelUtils.getDefaultValue("bool")   // false

Method Documentation

getDefaultValue(type, structFields, enumModel)

Returns a sensible default value for the given type. For "struct" types, structFields is used to recursively build an object. For "enum" types, the first entry in enumModel is returned.

parseValue(text, type)

Parses the string text into the JavaScript type specified by type. Returns 0 for invalid "int" or "real" input.
