after creation dynamic component they don't see

Diracsbracket

So, you create a component componentQmlFile which in turn you use to create an object objComponentCreate, which apparently is some visual item, since it has x and y properties, and which I assume represent the Rectangles you expect to see.

But then you do something like:

objComponentCreate[key] = value;

which essentially redefines objComponentCreate as an array. Furthermore, if the (hash) key is a string, then even this array definition will produce incorrect results, since JavaScript does not support named indices in arrays (although no error/warning will be produced ?)
https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_arrays.asp

In any case, the object objComponentCreate you created is replaced by an array with a some values given by value and is no longer a visual Item.

@Diracsbracket
I understand what you say diracsbracket.
When I execute this command

objComponentCreate[key] = value;

I was trying to dynamically modify the properties of the newly created component by reading the data I set in a json file like this:

{
    "main": {
        "IT": {
          "BtnTop01": {
            "width": 100,
            "height": 28
          },
          "BtnTop02": {
            "width": 100,
            "height": 28
            }
        }, 
        "EN":{
          "BtnTop01": {
            "text": "START"
          },
          "BtnTop02": {
            "text": "DELETE"
          }
          
        }
    }
    
  }

then, for example

objComponentCreate[key] = value;

in place of

objComponentCreate.width= 100;

Not having reported any kind of error I thought this was possible.

If I have the wrong method how can I dynamically change the properties of an object by reading from a list?

In any case, even without this condition, once the object is created, I do not see it.
Tomorrow I try another very simple project.

@elicat
Assuming that your JSON parsing works and that you use it to extract properties such as x, y, width, height, text for each of your objComponentCreate objects (which are apparently some Button-derived items), you must do something like:

objComponentCreate.x = xValueFromJson
objComponentCreate.y = yValueFromJson
objComponentCreate.width = widthValueFromJson
objComponentCreate.height = heightValueFromJson
objComponentCreate.text = textStringFromJson

Since you are looping your JSON key/value pairs, you must therefore do something like:

if (key = "x")
   objComponentCreate.x = value
else if (key = "y")
   objComponentCreate.y = value
...

or use a switch/case statement.

Better still is to have temp variables

var xValueFromJson
var  yValueFromJson
var widthValueFromJson
var  heightValueFromJson
var  textStringFromJson

and set those to your JSON parsed values as shown above, and then use those variables directly in the object construction

objComponentCreate = componentQmlFile.createObject(idAreaPosition, {"x": xValueFromJson, "y": yValueFromJson, "width": widthValueFromJson, etc...});

Also, make sure those objects have the correct visual item as parent.

Good morning Diracsbracket,
I was thinking of creating a more dynamic process. In this way I have to set all the elseif for each property if I do not want to put my hand to the code afterwards. But this is the least evil.

I followed your advice and changed the properties setting.
Following the new part of the work (for those who read: when we have solved the post, I publish all the code).

function finishCreation(idAreaPosition, jsonObjectComponent) {
    if (componentQmlFile.status == Component.Ready) {
        objComponentCreate = componentQmlFile.createObject(idAreaPosition, {"x": 5, "y": 38, color: "green"});
        if (objComponentCreate == null) {
            // Error Handling
            console.log("Error creating object");
        } else {
            console.log("oggetto creato");
            var textPropery = "";
            var withPropery = "";
            var heightPropery = "";
            var propertyComponent = "";
            for (var key in jsonObjectComponent){
                var value = jsonObjectComponent[key];
                if (key == "text") {
                   objComponentCreate.text = value;
                    console.log("assegno a " + idAreaPosition + " la property text: " + " con valore: " + value);
                } else if (key == "width"){
                   objComponentCreate.width = value;
                   console.log("assegno a " + idAreaPosition + " la property width: " + " con valore: " + value);
                } else if (key == "height"){
                   objComponentCreate.height = value
                   console.log("assegno a " + idAreaPosition + " la property height: " + " con valore: " + value);
                }
                /*
                if (propertyComponent != "" ){propertyComponent = propertyComponent + ", "};
                propertyComponent = propertyComponent + "\"" + key + "\": " + value;
                */
            }
            console.log("fine applicazione proprita");
        }
    } else if (componentQmlFile.status == Component.Error) {
        // Error Handling
        console.log("Error loading component:", componentQmlFile.errorString());
    }
}

But although all the steps are executed without error:

QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.

The object is not displayed. What is missing?

@elicat said in after creation dynamic component they don't see:

idAreaPosition

What is that? It does not seem to be a valid visual Item: it seems to be merely a string, since when you print it:

console.log("assegno a " + idAreaPosition + " la property height: " + " con valore: " + value);

It gives:

qml: assegno a idRectTopBottom la property height:  con valore: 28

Whenever you print an object in QML using console.log or console.debug, you get an output like this (rect is a Rectangle in this example):

console.debug("This is a " + rect)

This gives:

qml: This is a QQuickRectangle(0x19f7edd77d0)

So you must see the type + the address of the object. That's not what your idAreaPosition is. I wager there is a mixup in the way you create your Rectangle and that you stringified its id. How do you define/create idAreaPosition?

You cannot use idAreaPosition as a parent for the visual objects you create, since you know it is NOT an object, but just "a parameter" as you say.

You must use an actual visual object as parent! You cannot not use:
objComponentCreate = componentQmlFile.createObject(idAreaPosition, ...)

Replace idAreaPosition in the above line by an actual visual OBJECT in your layout, such as an instance of Rectangle, Item, Row, etc... and NOT by idAreaPosition which just seems to be a STRING that equals idRectTopBottom in your case.

Good luck.

pity that you can not say bad words in the forum ... I changed and passed as a parameter "this" in place of the id name of the object and everything worked.

MyComponentCreationJs.createComponentObjects("../mycomponent/ButtonReal.qml", this , jsonObject.main.IT.BtnTop01 );

I do not close the post just to take the time to publish in the repository this paret dle design that sees the creation of dynamic objects, taking advantage of property values from a json.

Thanks to everyone and mainly to the patience of Diracsbracket.

Remember that I'm a newbie and I do not even know English very well :-)

@elicat said in after creation dynamic component they don't see:

Glad you found it!
Know however that in QML, an object's id is equivalent to a pointer/reference to that object, i.e. is equivalent to the this pointer.

If you have declared the idRectTopBottom like this:

Rectangle {
     id: idRectTopBottom
}

Then you can use

MyComponentCreationJs.createComponentObjects("../mycomponent/ButtonReal.qml", idRectTopBottom,...)

Your mistake was that you put the id between "" quotes, i.e. making it a string.
