[Development] [QML]: Why can't create Q_GADGETs from QML ?

[Simon Hausmann]

Hi,


No objection per-se, but we'd have to figure out some details. For example declarative instantiation is

not an object, as the ownership rules do not comply with QObject. That would leave us with a JavaScript

constructor function, replacing Qt.point(...) for example. But then we'd have to comply with the namespace

rules, so we'd have


    qmlRegisterGadget<MyGadget>("MyModule", "ThatName", 1, 0);


and then


    import MyModule 1.0


and in expressions we'd have


    var g = new ThatName();


and the same for a namespaced import:


    import MyModule 1.0 as Foo


    var g = new Foo.ThatName();


It's a bit of work to do, but I don't see a problem in principle.


Simon

Hi,

Is there any reason why I can only use Q_GADGETs objects in QML, but not to
create them?

It will be nice if we can register Q_GADGETs  as qml creatable types too.

Cheers,
BogDan.
