\title Product Item
\brief Represents the result of a build process.
A \e product typically represents the result of a build process. It specifies a set of
input and output files and a way to transform the former into the latter. For example, the
following product sets up a very simple C++ application:
\code
Product {
name: "helloworld"
type: "application"
files: "main.cpp"
Depends { name: "cpp" }
}
\endcode
The \c type property specifies what will be built (an executable). The \c files property specifies
the input files (one C++ source file), and the \c Depends item pulls in the logic from the \c cpp module
about how to do the necessary transformations.
For some often-used types of products, \QBS pre-defines special derived items that save
users some typing. These are:
\list
\li Application
\li CppApplication
\li DynamicLibrary
\li StaticLibrary
\endlist
Therefore, the above example could also be written like this:
\code
CppApplication {
name: "helloworld"
files: "main.cpp"
}
\endcode
Any property \c prop attached to this item is available in sub-items as \c product.prop, as
well as in modules that are loaded from this product.
\table
\header
\li Property
\li Type
\li Default
\li Description
\row
\li condition
\li bool
\li true
\li If false, the product will not be built.
\row
\li name
\li string
\li empty string
\li The name of the product. Used to identify the product in a \c Depends item, for example.
\row
\li type
\li stringList
\li empty list
\li The file tags matching the product's target artifacts.
\row
\li targetName
\li string
\li \c name
\li The base file name of the product's target artifacts.
\row
\li destinationDirectory
\li string
\li "."
\li The directory where the target artifacts will be located. Relative to the build directory.
\row
\li files
\li stringList
\li empty list
\li A list of source files. Syntactic sugar to save a \c Group item for simple products.
\row
\li excludeFiles
\li stringList
\li empty list
\li A list of source files not to include. Useful with wildcards.
For more information, see \l {Group Item}.
\row
\li consoleApplication
\li bool
\li linker-dependent
\li If true, a console application is generated. If false, a GUI application is generated.
Only takes effect on Windows.
\row
\li qbsSearchPaths
\li stringList
\li project.qbsSearchPaths
\li See the documentation of the \l {Project Item} property of the same name.
Setting this property here will overwrite the default value inherited from
the project, so use the \c concat() function if you want to add something.
\row
\li version
\li string
\li undefined
\li The version number of the product. Used in shared library filenames and generated
Info.plist files in OS X and iOS application and framework bundles, for example.
\endtable
The following properties are automatically set by \QBS and usually are not changed by the user:
\table
\header
\li Property
\li Type
\li Description
\row
\li buildDirectory
\li string
\li The build directory for this product. This is the directory where generated files
are placed.
\row
\li sourceDirectory
\li string
\li The source directory for this product. This is the directory of the file where this
product is defined.
\endtable
