QML-rust - bindings for Qt Quick

Library is still in a rough shape.
Bindings are based on DOtherSide C bindings for QML

Early documentation

Examples

All examples are located in a folder examples/, under example_name.rs and example_name.qml names.

• cargo run --example properties for setting properties from Rust to QML.
• cargo run --example listmodel for an example of providing QML with list model from Rust.
• cargo run --example listmodel_macro for the same example, but using Q_LISTMODEL! macro.
• cargo run --example sigslots for an example of how to create your own QObject with signals and slots, and to communicate between QML and Rust. Also shows how to use Q_OBJECT! macro.
• cargo run --example qvarlists for an example of how to use qvarlist! macro to easily form QVariant (used to pass data to QML) of a complex array.
• cargo run --example threaded for an example of multithreading.

Requires CMake, Make, Qt (Core, Gui, Widgets, Quick) and, of course, Rust.

In-app examples

• Architect - an app showing some git stats, using qml-rust to provide properties and lists to QML in here.
• Kefia - A simple package manager, that provides a QListModel to QML, registers a QObject with slots and communicates between QML and Rust, here.

Status

Done: * Basic initialization and execution. * Providing properties to QML files. * QAbstractListModels - provides changable models for QML items (early draft, still lacks proper mutability). * QObjects: slots, signals (limited properties support). Emitting signals and receiving slots works.

To be done: * QML singletons * etc
