Using project and item templates

What is included

• Project template - Qt.Bridge.DotNet Project

  Creates a minimal C# app wired to Qt Quick / QML. The template includes an entry QML (Main.qml) file and a bootstrap Program.cs file.

• Item template - Qt.Bridge.DotNet QML File (.qml)

  Adds a new .qml file and lets the build integrate it automatically.

How to use

Install the templates

You can install the templates from local or online NuGet feed:

• From NuGet feed:

  dotnet new install __PACKAGE_ID__

• From a local .nupkg:

  dotnet new install ./PATH/TO/__PACKAGE_ID__.__PACKAGE_VERSION__.nupkg

To verify installation, run:

dotnet new list

The new templates should appear in the list.

To update the templates to the latest version, run:

dotnet new update
# or force a specific package/version
dotnet new install __PACKAGE_ID__ --force

Create a project

To create a new Qt Quick C# project, run:

dotnet new qtbridgedotnetproj -n MyQtApp
cd MyQtApp
dotnet build
dotnet run

This generates:

MyQtApp/
  Project.csproj
  Program.cs
  Main.qml

Add a QML item to an existing project

To add a new QML file to an existing project, in command line, change directory to the project folder and run:

dotnet new qtbridgedotnetqml --FileName=MainPage

This creates MainPage.qml. The build integrates QML files automatically (they'll be registered and copied alongside your app).

Uninstall the templates

To uninstall the templates, run:

dotnet new uninstall __PACKAGE_ID__
