The Rust analog to Qt's uic.
cargo install ruic
``` USAGE: ruic [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [path]
FLAGS: --all Load objects that would ordinarily be ignored -f, --format Run rustfmt on output -h, --help Prints help information --no-recursive Do not recursively scan directories -V, --version Prints version information
ARGS:
OPTIONS:
-o, --out
ruic generates a single .rs file out of one or more Qt Designer .ui files. It does this by loading all the files into source code and generating a load method for each one. Generated files require a few dependencies:
Suppose you use Qt Designer to create the following file:
xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
<class>HelloWorld</class>
<widget class="QDialog" name="HelloWorld">
<property name="geometry">
<rect>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<width>400</width>
<height>300</height>
</rect>
</property>
<property name="windowTitle">
<string>Dialog</string>
</property>
<layout class="QHBoxLayout" name="horizontalLayout">
<item>
<widget class="QLabel" name="label_HelloWorld">
<property name="text">
<string>Hello world!</string>
</property>
</widget>
</item>
<item>
<widget class="QLineEdit" name="SayHi"/>
</item>
</layout>
</widget>
<resources/>
<connections/>
</ui>
Running ruic on it will output the following .rs file:
```rs // This file is automatically generated. use cppcore::{CastInto, Ptr}; use qtcore::{QBox, QPtr}; use qtuitools::QUiLoader; use qt_widgets::*;
pub struct HelloWorld {
pub widget: QBox
Note: load's safety is ensured by loading the entire content of the .ui file into source code.
To make use of this file, you could then write a Rust+Qt module along these lines:
```rs use std::rc::Rc;
use cppcore::{CastInto, Ptr}; use qtwidgets::QWidget;
use crate::uic;
pub struct HelloWorld { ui: uic::HelloWorld, }
impl HelloWorld {
fn new
unsafe fn init(self: &Rc<Self>) {
/* add slot + signal connectors, etc. */
}
} ```
Alternatively, you could pass something like --suffix=Ui to ruic in order to turn crate::uic::HelloWorld into crate::uic::HelloWorldUi, allowing you to import it directly without a name clash.
Note that in Rust+Qt, the way to create a parentless widget is to pass NullPtr as the parent.
By default, some fields are not loaded as variables into the struct:
If you want to include such fields, pass --all to ruic on the command line. With --all, the generated file from the example above would instead be:
```rs // This file is automatically generated. use cppcore::{CastInto, Ptr}; use qtcore::{QBox, QPtr}; use qtuitools::QUiLoader; use qt_widgets::*;
pub struct HelloWorld {
pub widget: QBox
