+
+ \brief Sends data to and receives it from a C++ data model.
+
+ \e {Media Player Example} demonstrates how to access
+ data from a C++ data model. The data model enables writing C++ code for
+ \e expr attributes and \c <script> elements. The \e {data part} of the data
+ model is backed by a subclass of QScxmlCppDataModel, for which the Qt SCXML
+ compiler (\c qscxmlc) generates the dispatch methods.
+
+ The UI is created using Qt Quick.
+
+ \include examples-run.qdocinc
+
+ \section1 Using the C++ Data Model
+
+ We specify the data model as a value of the \e datamodel attribute of the
+ \c <scxml> element in the SCXML file:
+
+ \quotefromfile mediaplayer/mediaplayer.scxml
+ \skipto scxml
+ \printuntil datamodel
+
+ The format of the \e datamodel attribute is:
+ \c {cplusplus:<class-name>:<classdef-header>}. Therefore, we need a file
+ called \e thedatamodel.h that contains a subclass of QScxmlCppDataModel:
+
+ \quotefromfile mediaplayer/thedatamodel.h
+ \skipto qscxmlcppdatamodel.h
+ \printuntil Q_SCXML_DATAMODEL
+
+ QScxmlCppDataModel derives from QObject, so we add the \c Q_OBJECT macro in
+ the private section of the definition, right after the opening bracket. We
+ then place the \c Q_SCXML_DATAMODEL macro after \c Q_OBJECT. The macro
+ expands to the declaration of virtual methods, the implementation of which
+ is generated by the Qt SCXML compiler.
+
+ In the SCXML file, we specify C++ statements in the \c <script> element and
+ use the \e expr attribute to access the data model:
+
+ \quotefromfile mediaplayer/mediaplayer.scxml
+ \skipto state
+ \printuntil </state>
+ \printuntil </state>
+
+ The Qt SCXML compiler generates the various \c evaluateTo methods and
+ converts the expressions and scripts into lambdas inside those methods in
+ \e mediaplayer.cpp:
+
+ \code
+ bool TheDataModel::evaluateToBool(QScxmlExecutableContent::EvaluatorId id, bool *ok) {
+ ....
+ return [this]()->bool{ return isValidMedia(); }();
+ ....
+ }
+
+ QVariant TheDataModel::evaluateToVariant(QScxmlExecutableContent::EvaluatorId id, bool *ok) {
+ ....
+ return [this]()->QVariant{ return media; }();
+ ....
+ }
+
+ void TheDataModel::evaluateToVoid(QScxmlExecutableContent::EvaluatorId id, bool *ok) {
+ ....
+ [this]()->void{ media = eventData().value(QStringLiteral("media")).toString(); }();
+ ....
+ }
+ \endcode
