Qt Property Generator

andre

I'd ask around at #qt-creator on IRC (freenode network) for that.

OK, fixed a few things:

getter is no longer slot
getter is const
setter checks if the value is different

@// Auto generated property dateOfBirth : QDate
Q_PROPERTY(QDate dateOfBirth READ dateOfBirth WRITE setDateOfBirth RESET resetDateOfBirth NOTIFY dateOfBirthChanged)
private: QDate m_dateOfBirth;

public: inline QDate dateOfBirth() const {
return m_dateOfBirth;
}
Q_SLOT Person &setDateOfBirth(const QDate &v) {
if (m_dateOfBirth != v) {
m_dateOfBirth = v;
emit dateOfBirthChanged(m_dateOfBirth);
}
return *this;
}
Q_SLOT inline void resetDateOfBirth() {
// TODO reset
}
Q_SIGNAL void dateOfBirthChanged(QDate);@

Shouldn't the getter be at least a Q_INVOKABLE?

Why would it need to?

utcenter

It would make sense to be Q_INVOKABLE if it wasn't a property to begin with, you know... to use in QML and in the designer. But it is a property so this is taken care of.

OK. Guess I've always been adding it without actually testing if it's required ;)

I improved the tool by adding some functionality:

now it can generate an arbitrary number of properties at the same time
it is possible to chose between inline definitions in the header or only declarations in the header and definitions in the cpp
properties can be grouped - the generated source is packed for each property, or non-grouped and the code is not packed for each property but for each property component

I also added a link for a pre-build executable for windows in the first post.

It is still all pretty crude, but in this form the tool is considerably more useful and can generate a considerable amount of code with just a few mouse clicks, thus saving considerable time as well.
