KDeclarative library
KDeclarative exposes 3 namespaced classes: KDeclarative::KDeclarative, KDeclarative::QmlObject, KDeclarative::ConfigPropertyMap
KDeclarative::KDeclarative
The KDeclarative class is used to manipulate the QQmlEngine instance used by the application and to get some informations about the platform, that influences the behavior of the QML components.
In order to use it, create an instance of KDeclarative. You will need a pointer to a QQmlEngine, and call both setDeclarativeEngine(engine) and setupContext() on your instance. You need to call setupEngine(engine) at least once on the engine as well.
KDeclarative::setupEngine(engine); // if not done elsewhere KDeclarative::KDeclarative decl; decl.setDeclarativeEngine(engine); decl.setupContext();
This will add the following things to the engine:
- Use a KIOAccessManagerFactory instead of the stock QQmlNetworkAccessManagerFactory
- Add a QML icon provider, that makes possible for the Image {} element to load images using the scheme "image:/"
- Use the given engine for this context.
- Set a new rootContextObject() that exposes all the i18n() functions from the KI18n framework. They will be available in the global QML context: just call i18n() from anywhere in your QML code.
