[Development] why is QJSEngine not modifying metaObject

[Hausmann Simon]

Hi,

Kind of :) It works on a type level. So a new type is defined with new methods and a new meta object is defined. But it doesn't use a mechanism where a new meta object is created each time a method is added.

If we move the current engine over to generate meta objects from internal classes then perhaps we could create the meta objects on demand and batch them. That would make the example at hand work.

Of course this could also be implemented by brute force, but I'm not sure it is worth it.

Wasn't this how QML1 worked?
