I spend a lot of time now since QML is King making exposer classes for C++ to QML. I've got 140 lines of boilerplate code and only 77 of non-boilerplate. If I could enter:

Hi,

not integrated in a wizard, but if you write Q_PROPERTY you can
1. use the snippet to only provide the property type and name and get the rest filled out with defaults, and
2. use Refactor > "Generate missing Q_PROPERTY members” (or Alt+Return) on the Q_PROPERTY to automatically generate the getter, setter, signal, and member variable.

Br, Eike
