[Development] QTCS2019 Notes from QtQml session

[Damian Ivanov]

How would .qml files that are singletons and instantiated from c++ be used
currently I do this and am able to access it from qml and c++
QQmlComponent* component = new QQmlComponent(application_engine,
"qrc:/Component.qml");
QObject* obj = component->create();
obj->setParent(this);
application_engine->rootContext()->setContextProperty("obj", obj);

I don't see this anywhere documented how this could be done using a singleton.
If I register it as singleton the application_engine doesn't find it
findChild->
Using component->create would create it again since it is already
registered as a singleton.

Any suggestions?
