Hello!

Thanks for the reply!

The code you posted helped a lot, but I could not, yet, use the data. When I try to use it like you suggested: text: updatedAt it shows me the message:

qrc:/main.qml:117: ReferenceError: updatedAt is not defined

Here is my code. I will became grateful if you could help me:

EnginioClient {
        id: clienteEnginio
        backendId: "MyBackEnd"
    }

EnginioModel {
        id: paisEnginioModel
        client: clienteEnginio

        query: {
            "objectType" : "objects.pais",
            "sort": [{"sortBy":"updatedAt","direction":"desc"}],
            "query": {"updatedAt": {"$gt": {"$type": "time","$value": getYesterday()}}},
            "limit": 15
        }
        property string text: updatedAt
    }

    function getYesterday( ) {
        var today = new Date();
        today.setDate(today.getDate()-5)
        return Qt.formatDate(today, "yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00Z");
    }

Hello,

in my example I used updatedAt as this is one of the internal properties.
Therefore it is not necessary to declare it as a property.
Instead of it you may use any of the properties from your enginio object.
If you have "name" you may use it without any further declaration in your model.

Just try to delete the entry "property string..." and try to use it with your clienteEnginio.

It returned this:
Cannot assign to non-existent property "text"

Here is the code:

EnginioModel {
        id: paisEnginioModel
        client: clienteEnginio
        /*query: {
            "objectType" : "objects.pais",
            "sort": [{"sortBy" : "nome","direction" : "desc"}],
            "query": {"nome": {"$gt": {"$type" : "string","$value": "Brasil"}}},
            "limit": 15
        }*/

        query: {
            "objectType" : "objects.pais",
            "sort": [{"sortBy":"updatedAt","direction":"desc"}],
            "query": {"updatedAt": {"$gt": {"$type": "time","$value": getYesterday()}}},
            "limit": 15
        }

        text: updatedAt
    }

Did you assign your enginioModel to your ComboBox?

ComboBox {
    width: 200
    model: paisEnginioModel
}

guidupas

@clochydd

Yes, here it is:

EnginioClient {
        id: clienteEnginio
        backendId: "MyId"
    }
    EnginioModel {
        id: paisEnginioModel
        client: clienteEnginio
        query: {
            "objectType" : "objects.pais",
            "sort": [{"sortBy":"updatedAt","direction":"desc"}],
            "query": {"updatedAt": {"$gt": {"$type": "time","$value": getYesterday()}}},
            "limit": 15
        }

        text: updatedAt
    }
    ComboBox {
        id: comboBox1

        model: paisEnginioModel
    }

It returns this message:
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:70 Cannot assign to non-existent property "text"

clochydd

You should not use text: updateAt inside your model.
(In my first post this was only meant as an example...)

By assigning the model to the ComboBox the properties from the model are part of the ComboBox.

If you look at the ComboBox example:

ComboBox {
    width: 200
    model: [ "Banana", "Apple", "Coconut" ]
}

[ "Banana", "Apple", "Coconut" ] will be replace by your paisEnginioModel.

Hi guidupas,

until now I didn't use a ComboBox with QML and Enginio, so I've made this small example:

Assume, we have a collection objects.contacts with custom properties name and address:

{
  "name": "Peter",
  "address": "Somewhere"
}
{
  "name": "Peter",
  "address": "Anywhere"
}

and we want to see the addresses for all Peters in the ComboBox:

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import Enginio 1.0

Rectangle {
    width: 500; height: 200

    EnginioClient {
        id: client
        backendId: "myBackendID..."
        onError: console.log(reply.errorCode + ": " + reply.errorString)
    }
    EnginioModel {
        id: eModel
        client: client
        query: {
            "objectType": "objects.contacts",
            "query" : {"name": "Peter"}
        }
    }
    ComboBox {
        model: eModel
        textRole: "address"

    }
}

And your ComboBox will contain:
Somewhere
Anywhere

Hope, it helps a bit...

@clochydd

It worked fine.

Thank you very much. It helped a lot.

@clochydd

Hello @clochydd !

I heard that Enginio is going to be deprecated. Do you know if this is true?

Cheers.

SGaist

Hi,

AFAIK, the talk is about the client library, not the service

clochydd

Hi SGaist,

thanks for your comment - is there any information available in the forum or elsewhere? I wonder about the consequences, if the client library will be deprecated.

SGaist

Currently I only saw this on the mailing list. If that be the case, it will be properly announced. The deprecation just means that there won't be further development on the client part except security related stuff. The code itself isn't going to disappear.

Charby

I was just starting to learn engin.io but according to the 5.6 roadmap the module will be deprecated http://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6). What would be the recommanded way to communicate with an EDS backend from a qml mobile app? Even if the api will remains I feel it is not advisable to start a new project with an ingoing deprecated module...

clochydd

@Charby
You are absolutely right! And it seems to be quite strange to see Digia propagating Enginio on their current web presence while planning to remove Qt Enginio...

SGaist

From https://developer.qtcloudservices.com/eds/references/sdk-libraries It looks like there's something in the work.

@SGaist Sir I am new to qt . I didn't know where to ask to I am givingmy question here:

I downloaded qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.4.1.run but how to install it on ubuntu 14.04LTS?

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You have a wiki entry here that describes how to do it.

For future questions: please don't highjack threads with completely unrelated questions.

Sajad Manal

@SGaist Sir I am trying the same since 1 hour but getting this problem:

administrator@pc-7:~/Downloads/FlareGet/Applications$ chmod +x qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.4.1.run
administrator@pc-7:~/Downloads/FlareGet/Applications$ ./qt-linux-opensource-linux-x86-5.4.1.run
bash: ./qt-linux-opensource-linux-x86-5.4.1.run: No such file or directory

Please open a new thread for your problem.
