A \l{ListView}-based item is used to display a list of recipe names. Clicking on a name causes the web view to load the respective recipe page. The overall appearance of the application is provided by the \l{Qt Quick Controls 2} items, which have their active style set to the \l{Material Style}{Material} style. The web content is a mix of HTML and Markdown source compiled to HTML, along with CSS and JavaScript. \include examples-run.qdocinc \section1 C++ Code In \c main.cpp, we use the \l{QGuiApplication} and \l{QQmlApplicationEngine} classes to set up and load the main QML file. We call \l{QtWebEngine::initialize} so we can use \l{WebEngineView} in our QML code. We enable high DPI screen support by setting the \l{Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling} attribute. We set the default Qt Quick Controls 2 style to the Material style, so we do not have to specify it for each new item we add. Finally, we use a C++ define to check whether the application is compiled for an embedded platform. The value will be used in the main QML code to determine the window size. \quotefromfile webengine/recipebrowser/main.cpp \skipto #include \printuntil } \section1 QML Code In the \c main.qml file, we first create a top-level window and set a title for it. We also set up the size of the window depending on its primary orientation as well as the platform, so that the application is usable on both desktop and embedded platforms. On desktop, the size is constrained by a minimum of 320x480 pixels up to the maximum size that the screen supports. The default window size is 1024 pixels wide and 768 pixels high in landscape orientation. On embedded devices, the window will occupy the whole screen. \quotefromfile webengine/recipebrowser/resources/qml/main.qml \skipto ApplicationWindow \printuntil minimumHeight Next, we add a \l{RowLayout} item so we can divide the window into two parts: one being a custom \c RecipeList item containing the recipe titles, and the other being the \l{WebEngineView}, which shows the recipe details. The spacing is set to zero so the items are positioned directly next to each other. \printuntil RecipeList \dots 16 \skipuntil onRecipeSelected \printline } \printuntil WebEngineView \dots 16 \skipuntil busy.running = true \skipline } \skipline } \printline } \printline } The \c RecipeList item has a few \l{Layout}{attached Layout properties}, in order to scale the item to a maximum of one third of the layout width. We give the item focus, so that the keyboard can be used to navigate the recipes, in addition to using mouse and touch. We also add a handler for the custom \c recipeSelected signal, to tell the WebEngineView to load the URL of the selected recipe. \quotefromfile webengine/recipebrowser/resources/qml/main.qml \skipto RecipeList \printuntil } The WebEngineView has similar layout properties, to make it occupy two thirds of the layout width. \skipto WebEngineView \printuntil KeyNavigation.priority We then disable the \l{WebEngineSettings::focusOnNavigationEnabled}{focusOnNavigationEnabled} setting to make sure that the \l{WebEngineView} does not steal focus from the \c RecipeList item every time its URL is changed. This allows the user to continue navigating through the recipes using the keyboard. We also disable the default context menu by accepting the ContextMenuRequest. \skipto focusOnNavigationEnabled \printto firstLoadComplete When the application starts, instead of directly showing the \l{WebEngineView}, we show a placeholder \l{Rectangle} with a \l{BusyIndicator} to provide a nicer user experience while the application is loading. Once the first page in the view is loaded, we start a \l{Timer} that will hide the placeholder and show the actual page. The delay provides more time for the recipe images to load, so that when the view is shown, the page is completely rendered. The timer also shows a help \l{ToolTip} that informs the user on how to navigate the recipes. \printuntil busy.running = true \printline } \printline } \printline } Let's see what the \c RecipeList item looks like from the inside. The root item is a FocusScope to allow transferring focus to the child ListView whenever the root item receives focus. We also declare a custom \c recipeSelected signal, which will be emitted when the current item of the ListView changes. \quotefromfile webengine/recipebrowser/resources/qml/RecipeList.qml \skipto FocusScope \printuntil recipeSelected A ColumnLayout holds a header \l{Label} above the ListView, and the ListView itself. Again, we set the spacing to zero and make sure the layout occupies the whole space of the parent item. \skipto ColumnLayout \printuntil anchors.fill Inside the layout there is a styled \l{ToolBar} item, with a \l{Label} inside of it serving as the ListView header. \skipto ToolBar \printuntil Label \printuntil } \printuntil } The second item inside the layout is a \l{ListView}, whose contents will fill the remaining space in the layout. We set \l{Item::}{clip} to true, so that the delegates that are scrolled up are not seen under the ToolBar item. We set \l{Item::}{focus} to true, so the ListView gains focus when the FocusScope does. We add a vertical scroll bar, so the user can scroll through the recipes if the window size is small. We also specify the recipe model to be used by the ListView as described later in this topic. \skipto ListView \printuntil model We have an \l{ItemDelegate} set as the ListView delegate, which displays the recipe title. The contentItem is a \l{Text} item, customized with a few properties to adjust the visual appearance and position of the text. We create a binding to the current delegate's model URL, so we can access the respective URL outside the delegate itself. We set the \l{ItemDelegate::}{highlighted} property to \c true whenever the item is the current one in the ListView to provide visual feedback. And we set the focus on the ListView whenever a delegate is clicked, so that keyboard navigation works in case the focus was previously in the WebEngineView. \skipto delegate \printuntil onClicked \printuntil } \printuntil } A handler is defined for the \c currentItemChanged signal to emit our own \c recipeSelected signal with the URL that the WebEngineView should load. \skipto onCurrentItemChanged \printuntil } We use a \l{ListModel} with seven \l{ListElement}s, each of which contains a recipe title and the URL to an HTML page contained in a resource file. The model is used to populate the ListView with the recipes and to show the recipe details in the WebEngineView. \skipto ListModel \printuntil Cupcakes \printuntil } \printuntil } We use a \l{ToolTip} item that is displayed on application startup to inform the users how they can navigate and view the details of each recipe. The ToolTip is shown using the \c showHelp method, which is invoked by the \l{Timer} in the main.qml file. \skipto ToolTip \printuntil help.open() \printuntil } \printuntil } An example of a recipe page can be seen below. The page uses two stylesheets and two JavaScript files: \list \li \l{http://kevinburke.bitbucket.org/markdowncss/}{markdown.css} is a markdown-friendly stylesheet created by Kevin Burke \li \l{https://github.com/chjj/marked}{marked.min.js} is a markdown parser and compiler designed for speed written by Christopher Jeffrey \li custom.css makes some small styling adjustments to the final recipe page \li custom.js is used to invoke the conversion of the recipe content (which is written in markdown syntax) into HTML \endlist The images on the pages are loaded from the compiled resource file. \quotefromfile webengine/recipebrowser/resources/pages/soup.html \printuntil \section1 Files and Attributions The example bundles the following code with third-party licenses: \table \row \li \l{recipebrowser-marked}{Marked} \li MIT License \row \li \l{recipebrowser-markdowncss}{Markdown.css} \li Apache License 2.0 \endtable */
