A Qt/Qml integration with .NET
Supported platforms/runtimes:
* Runtimes:
* .NET Framework
* .NET Core
* Mono
* Operating systems
* Linux
* OSX
* Windows
# First look
# Elevator pitch
* Proven in production.
* Established GUI/control framework, used in many industries, from desktop to embedded.
* Excellent community with many open-sourced controls available.
* Native rendering, done in native code. No expensive PInvoke calls for rendering/animations/etc. The only interop between .NET and Qt is the data models used to drive the GUI.
# Documentation
WIP: https://qmlnet.github.io/
# Getting started
```bash
dotnet add package Qml.Net
dotnet add package Qml.Net.WindowsBinaries
dotnet add package Qml.Net.OSXBinaries
dotnet add package Qml.Net.LinuxBinaries
```
**Note for Linux users**: Package `libc6-dev` is required to be installed because it contains `libdl.so` that is needed.
# Examples
Checkout the [examples](https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet-examples) on how to do many things with Qml.Net.
# Quick overview
**Define a .NET type (POCO)**
```c#
//QmlType.cs
using Qml.Net;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace QmlQuickOverview
{
[Signal("customSignal", NetVariantType.String)] // You can define signals that Qml can listen to.
public class QmlType
{
///
/// Properties are exposed to Qml.
///
[NotifySignal("stringPropertyChanged")] // For Qml binding/MVVM.
public string StringProperty { get; set; }
///
/// Methods can return .NET types.
/// The returned type can be invoked from Qml (properties/methods/events/etc).
///
///
public QmlType CreateNetObject()
{
return new QmlType();
}
///
/// Qml can pass .NET types to .NET methods.
///
///
public void TestMethod(QmlType parameter)
{
}
///
/// Async methods can be invoked with continuations happening on Qt's main thread.
///
public async Task TestAsync()
{
// On the UI thread
await Task.Run(() =>
{
// On the background thread
});
// On the UI thread
return "async result!";
}
///
/// Qml can also pass Qml/C++ objects that can be invoked from .NET
///
///
public void TestMethodWithQObject(dynamic o)
{
string result = o.propertyDefinedInCpp;
o.methodDefinedInCpp(result);
// You can also listen to signals on QObjects.
var qObject = o as INetQObject;
var handler = qObject.AttachSignal("signalName", parameters => {
// parameters is a list of arguements passed to the signal.
});
handler.Dispose(); // When you are done listening to signal.
// You can also listen to when a property changes (notify signal).
handler = qObject.AttachNotifySignal("property", parameters => {
// parameters is a list of arguements passed to the signal.
});
handler.Dispose(); // When you are done listening to signal.
}
///
/// .NET can activate signals to send notifications to Qml.
///
public void ActivateCustomSignal(string message)
{
this.ActivateSignal("customSignal", message);
}
}
}
```
**Register your new type with Qml.**
```c#
//QmlExample.cs
using Qml.Net;
using Qml.Net.Runtimes;
namespace QmlQuickOverview
{
class QmlExample
{
static int Main(string[] args)
{
RuntimeManager.DiscoverOrDownloadSuitableQtRuntime();
using (var app = new QGuiApplication(args))
{
using (var engine = new QQmlApplicationEngine())
{
// Register our new type to be used in Qml
Qml.Net.Qml.RegisterType("test", 1, 1);
engine.Load("Main.qml");
return app.Exec();
}
}
}
}
}
```
**Use the .NET type in Qml**
```js
//Main.qml
import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.0
import test 1.1
ApplicationWindow {
visible: true
width: 640
height: 480
title: qsTr("Hello World")
QmlType {
id: test
Component.onCompleted: function() {
// We can read/set properties
console.log(test.stringProperty)
test.stringPropertyChanged.connect(function() {
console.log("The property was changed!")
})
test.stringProperty = "New value!"
// We can return .NET types (even ones not registered with Qml)
var netObject = test.createNetObject();
// All properties/methods/signals can be invoked on "netObject"
// We can also pass the .NET object back to .NET
netObject.testMethod(netObject)
// We can invoke async tasks that have continuation on the UI thread
var task = netObject.testAsync()
// And we can await the task
Net.await(task, function(result) {
// With the result!
console.log(result)
})
// We can trigger signals from .NET
test.customSignal.connect(function(message) {
console.log("message: " + message)
})
test.activateCustomSignal("test message!")
}
function testHandler(message) {
console.log("Message - " + message)
}
}
}
```
# Currently implemented
- [x] Support for all the basic Qml types and the back-and-forth between them (```DateTime```, ```string```, etc).
- [x] Reading/setting properties on .NET objects.
- [x] Invoking methods on .NET obejcts.
- [x] Declaring and activating signals on .NET objects.
- [x] ```async``` and ```await``` with support for awaiting and getting the result from Qml.
- [x] Passing dynamic javascript objects to .NET as ```dynamic```.
- [x] Custom V8 type that looks like an array, but wraps a .NET ```IList``` instance, for modification of list in Qml, and performance.
- [x] Dynamically compiled delegates for increased performance.
- [x] Passing ```QObject``` types to .NET with support for interacting with signals/slots/properties on them.
There aren't really any important features missing that are needed for prime-time. This product is currently used on embedded devices in the medical industry.
# Running Unit Tests
The unit tests can be found in [src/native/Qml.Net.Tests](src/net/Qml.Net.Tests).
They can be run directly from Visual Studio, or by using the `dotnet test` command line tool.
Since the tests rely on the native QmlNet library, you have to ensure the library is in the `PATH` (on Windows) or otherwise discoverable. If you are trying to run tests against the native library built from the same repository, you can put the `src/native/output` folder into your `PATH` or `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` after running the `build.bat` or `build.sh` script.
