The language - architecture and engine are implemented by the Qt QML module. - - \row - \li Qt Quick - \li The standard library of types and functionality for the - QML language, which is provided by the Qt Quick module, - and may be accessed with "import QtQuick 2.0" - - \row - \li Type - \li In QML, a \e type may refer to either a - \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html}{Basic Type} or a - \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html#qml-object-types}{QML Object Type}. - - The QML language provides a number of built in - (\l{qtqml-typesystem-basictypes.html}{basic types}), and the - QtQuick module provides various \l{qtquick-qmltypereference.html} - {Qt Quick types} for building QML applications. Types can also be - provided by third-party developers through - (\l{qtqml-modules-topic.html}{modules}) or by the application - developer in the application itself through - \l{qtqml-documents-definetypes.html}{QML Documents}. - - See \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html}{The QML Type System} - for more details. - - \row - \li Basic Type - \li A \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html}{basic type} is a simple type - such as \c int, \c string and \c bool. Unlike - \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html#qml-object-types}{object types}, - an object cannot be instantiated from a basic type; for example, - it is not possible to create an \c int object with properties, - methods, signals and so on. - - Basic types are built into the QML language, whereas object types - cannot be used unless the appropriate - \l{qtqml-modules-topic.html}{module} is imported. - - See \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html}{The QML Type System} - for more details. - - \row - \li Object Type - \li A \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html#qml-object-types}{QML Object Type} - is a type that can be instantiated by the QML engine. - - A QML type can be defined either by a document in a .qml file - beginning with a capital letter, or by a QObject-based C++ class. - - See \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html}{The QML Type System} - for more details. - - \row - \li Object - \li A QML object is an instance of a - \l{qtqml-typesystem-topic.html#qml-object-types}{QML Object Type}. - - Such objects are created by the engine when it processes - \l{qtqml-syntax-basics.html#object-declarations}{object declarations}, - which specify the objects to be created and the attributes that are to - be defined for each object. - - Additionally, objects can be dynamically created at runtime through - Component.createObject() and Qt.createQmlObject(). - - See also \l{#lazy-instantiation}{Lazy Instantiation}. - - \row - \li Component - \li A component is a template from which a QML object or object - tree is created. It is produced when a document is loaded by - the QML engine. Once it has been loaded, it can be used to - instantiate the object or object tree that it represents. - - Additionally, the \l Component type is a special type that can - can be used to declare a component inline within a document. - Component objects can also be dynamically created through - Qt.createComponent() to dynamically create QML objects. - - \row - \li Document - \li A \l{qtqml-documents-topic.html}{QML Document} is a self - contained piece of QML source code that begins with one or more - import statements and contains a single top-level object - declaration. A document may reside in a .qml file or a text string. - - If it is placed in a .qml file whose name begins with a capital - letter, the file is recognized by the engine as a definition of - a QML type. The top-level object declaration encapsulates the - object tree that will be instantiated by the type. - - \row - \li Property - \li A property is an attribute of an object type that has a name and - an associated value; this value can be read (and in most cases, also - written to) externally. - - An object can have one or more properties. Some properties - are associated with the canvas (e.g., x, y, width, height, - and opacity) while others may be data specific to that type - (e.g., the "text" property of the \l Text type). - - See \l{qtqml-syntax-objectattributes.html}{QML Object Attributes} - for more details. - - \row - \li Binding - \li A binding is a JavaScript expression which is "bound" to a - property. The value of the property at any point in time - will be the value returned by evaluating that expression. - - See \l{qtqml-syntax-propertybinding.html}{Property Binding} - for more details. - - \row - \li Signal - \li A signal is a notification from a QML object. When an object emits - a signal, other objects can receive and process this signal through - a \l{Signal Attributes}{signal handler}. - - Most properties of QML objects - have a change signal, and also an associated change signal handler - which may be defined by clients to implement functionality. For - example, the "onClicked()" handler of an instance of the MouseArea - type might be defined in an application to cause a sound to be - played. - - See \l{qtqml-syntax-signals.html}{Signal and Handler Event System} - for more details. - - \row - \li Signal Handler - \li A signal handler is the expression (or function) which is triggered - by a signal. It is also known as a "slot" in C++. - - See \l{qtqml-syntax-signals.html}{Signal and Handler Event System} - for more details. - - \row - \target lazy-instantiation - \li Lazy Instantiation - \li Object instances can be instantiated "lazily" at run-time, - to avoid performing unnecessary work until needed. Qt Quick - provides the \l Loader type to make lazy instantiation more - convenient. -\endtable - -\section1 Indexed Alphabetically - -*/ |
