QML Repeater should allow creation of objects

XMLWordPrintable

    • All

      Today, Repeater can create QQuickItems only. It would be very useful if it could also create Objects (i.e., QtObjects). The reason is that will allow C+-defined models to be passed to C+ from QML.

      The BirthdayParty example included in Qt, which demonstrates attached properties, uses default properties for Person declarations. It inlines three "Person"s line this:

       

      BirthdayParty {
    Person { }
    Person { }
    Person { }
}

       

      But given that you have a data source for each person, it's cleaner to define this dynamically using a Repeater, as in the below example:

       

      BirthdayParty {
    Repeater {
        model: 3
        Person {
        }
    }
}

      Unfortunately, Person is an QObject, so this does not compile/work.
