Welcome to the world of QML powered by JavaScript! This project is a bridge that carries the elegance and power of QML into your web browser. If you’ve been longing to create beautiful user interfaces that leverage the flexibility of web technologies, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll explore how to get started with the QML engine, how to troubleshoot common issues, and much more.

How to Use the QML Engine

Let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into the practical aspects of utilizing the QML engine in your web projects. Here’s a simple guide to get you going:

Add the Library to Your Web Page

Begin by installing the qmlweb JavaScript library using one of the methods below:

• npm — Run the command: npm install qmlweb
• GitHub releases — Download using tar: tar -xaf v0.2.0.tar.gz
• Manually (recommended if you cloned from git) — Run the command: npm install followed by npm run build

Incorporate the library into your HTML by adding the following script tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="libqmlweb.js"></script>

For more details and complete usage examples, check out the examples directory.

Testing from a Local Folder

Due to browser security restrictions, loading local files like *.qml directly isn’t allowed. You can easily bypass this by launching a local HTTP server. Simply run the following command:

npx http-server

You might also consider trying out the qmlweb-viewer.

Using JavaScript with QML

You can interact with DOM elements as your QML components. Here’s an analogy to help you grasp this concept: think of the DOM like a stage, and the QML code as the theatrical performance that unfolds on it. The actors (your QML components) bring life to the stage (the DOM).

To utilize this, you’d write:

var div = document.getElementById("embed"); 
var engine = new QmlWeb.QMLEngine(div); 
engine.loadFile("qmlmain.qml"); 
engine.start();

This allows you to load and manipulate your QML file seamlessly! For more complex operations, take a look at engine.loadQML.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while using the QML engine, here are some handy troubleshooting ideas:

• Make sure your local web server is running and correctly serving files.
• Ensure that you’re using supported modules and read through the Projects page for module status.
• If you’re having issues with loading your QML files, verify that the paths are correctly defined.
