QML module definition qmldir file
When using QML for application development, we can create custom QML modules to organize and reuse code. In order for the QML engine to correctly load and identify custom modules, we need to define a file named "qmldir". This file contains meta information about the module and the components available in the module.
In this article, I will show you how to define a qmldir file and implement a simple QML module using C++. We will create a module called "CustomModule" and define a custom QML component in it.
First, let's create the qmldir file and place it in the directory where we want to create the module. The qmldir file is a plain text file with the following format:
module CustomModule
plugin CustomModulePlugin
Here, we have specified the name of the module as "CustomModule". The "plugin" keyword is followed by the name of the plugin library we will be using. Note that the name of the plugin repository here should match the name of the plugin repository we will create later.
Next, we need to create a C++ plugin library to register custom QML components into the QML engine. We'll create a plugin library called "CustomModulePlugin" and register our component in it.
First, we need to create a header file named "custommoduleplugin.h", which contains the declaration of the plugin library:
#ifndef
