Beginner question: Model for a simple form?

[maxwell31]

My problem is a very typical one:
I have a class in my backend, and need to make a form, where I do the data entry. For simplicity, lets assume, the model would consist of the folowing variables:

string sampleInfo;
string sampleCode;
string volume;

In reality, my model would contain more variables. What is the best way to update my backend class from qml? I don't want any Qt code in my backend class. Does it make sense to use an AbstractItemModel even if I will always only have one entry (I will never have a list of samples)? Also, is it even possible to use an abstractitemmodel outside of a listview?

Or would it be better to make QObject derived wrapper class where I expose the variables as properties?

Or other suggestions?

Hi,

It looks a bit like overkill to have a full model implementation for one object. Having a QObject wrapper makes more sense.
