Detailed Description
The Qt.qml module provides support for the Qt QML module, which contains classes for QML and JavaScript languages.
Note: If the current value of qbs.architecture is not supported by qmlcachegen, the QML cache file generator rule is disabled.
Relevant File Tags
| Tag | Auto-tagged File Names | Since | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
"qt.qml.js" | *.js | 1.10 | QML companion JavaScript files. Source files with this tag serve as input for the QML cache file generator. |
"qt.qml.qml" | *.qml | 1.8 | Source files with this tag serve as inputs to the QML plugin scanner. |
"qt.qml.types" | n/a | 1.16 | This tag is attached to the files created by the qmltyperegistrar tool if the importName property is set. |
See also Qt.quick and Qt.declarative.
Property Documentation
cacheFilesInstallDir : string |
The path to the directory where the cache files are installed.
If this property is set, QML cache files are automatically installed.
Default: Undefined
[read-only] cachingEnabled : bool |
This property is true if generateCacheFiles is true and the platform supports QML cache generation.
Default: false
[since Qbs 1.16] extraMetaTypesFiles : stringList |
Specifies extra metatypes files to pass to the qmltyperegistrar tool via the --foreign-types option when registering QML types.
Note: This property is only needed for external libraries, not products or modules pulled via Depends items. In particular, you don't need to (and should not) use it to collect the metatypes files of Qt modules. These are found automatically. This property has no effect if importName is not set.
Default: Undefined
This property was introduced in Qbs 1.16.
generateCacheFiles : bool |
Whether QML cache files are generated.
Default: false
[since Qbs 1.16] importName : string |
Setting this value triggers QML type registration via the qmltyperegistrar tool, which results in the creation of a file with the tag "qt.qml.types". The given string is the name under which the registered types can be imported by QML code that wants to use them.
Note: This functionality is only available with Qt 5.15 or later.
Default: Undefined
This property was introduced in Qbs 1.16.
[since Qbs 1.16] importVersion : string |
Specifies the version of the types to be registered. Values consist of a major and an optional minor number, separated by dots. This property has no effect if importName is not set.
Default: The product version
This property was introduced in Qbs 1.16.
qmlCacheGenPath : string |
The absolute path to the qmlcachegen executable.
Default: Determined by setup-qt.
qmlImportScannerName : string |
The base name of the QML import scanner.
Set this value if your system uses a name different from the default value.
Default: "qmlimportscanner"
qmlPath : string |
The absolute path to the directory where Qt's QML files are installed.
Default: Determined by setup-qt.
[since Qbs 1.16] typesFileName : string |
Specifies the name of the file that declares the types registered for this product. For applications, the default value is <name>.qmltypes, where <name> is the product's target name. Otherwise, the default value is "plugins.qmltypes".
Note: The naming conventions are still in flux. When in doubt, consult the Qt documentation.
This property has no effect if importName is not set.
This property was introduced in Qbs 1.16.
[since Qbs 1.16] typesInstallDir : string |
The directory to install the qmltypes file into. If this property is empty or undefined, the file will not be installed. This property has no effect if importName is not set.
Default: Undefined
This property was introduced in Qbs 1.16.
