Julie1986

Could anyone help me in fixing this error. I am fed up of this. I get an error from js file stating "check.js:6: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: model"

my code is as follows. .qml file

@
import QtQuick 1.1
import "check.js" as Chk

Rectangle{

width:400
height:width

XmlListModel {
id: model
source: "example.xml"
query: "/rss/channel/item"

XmlRole { name: "title"; query: "title/string()" }
XmlRole { name: "pubDate"; query: "pubDate/string()" }
XmlRole { name: "id"; query: "id/string()" }

}
ListView {
width: 180; height: 300
model: model

delegate: Text { text:Chk.title+ ": " + pubDate +id
}

}

}@

and check.js is as follows

@.pragma library
var title = model.get(0).title;@

Xml file. its an example file

Hello,
I don't really understand what you are trying to achieve. From your code It seems you want all your list items to have the same title. Is it really what you want? If you just want the title corresponding to each item on your XML you can change Chk.title with title in your QML and you don't need your js file.
Good luck!

But I want to use js in my file. This will clear my basic concept so that I can further build complex ones.
I know that chk.title to title ll solve my problem but I need to use js. thanks

unai_i

So in your javascript try:
@
.pragma library

function getTitle(model, index){
return model.get(index).title;
}
@

And in your qml Chk.getTitle(model, index);

Note that I'm not sure you can directly use model in your JavaScript I remember reading some sync stuff but I don't remember exactly what it was (maybe to do with WorkerScript element).

unai_i

Just for later, sync must be applied when changing models from WorkerScripts.
See:
"ListModel documentation":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-listmodel.html#using-threaded-list-models-with-workerscript

Nope the above js does not work. TypeError: Result of expression 'model.get' [undefined] is not a function.

Julie1986

I tried this in the same .qml file and I got this error

@Component.onCompleted: {

console.log(model.get(1).title);

}@

TypeError: Result of expression 'model.get(1)' [undefined] is not an object.

unai_i

Are you sure model has items when the function is called? (i.e: is the function called after setting model data?)

Julie1986

yes.. the above code is the one am currently using. If you have some time kindly check it and let me know. thanks in advance

The javascrpit does not recognize the qml file. any idea on how to link js and qml

Julie1986

[Solved] I passed the model as a js function. if there is any other alternative kindly let me know.
