eval() in qml

[ODБOï]

I want to inject js code to my application for test purposes.

i wanted to use js eval() function but qt creator said don't use eval (M23)

ApplicationWindow{ // my app
  id:root
...
  property var warnings : "" 
  property int nbr : 0
...

    Window{// my testing window
    
      TextInput{
               id:cmd
                     // i want to write  root.warnings = "warn" 
                     //or  root.nbr = 666
      }
       Button{
        onClicked : eval(cmd.text) 
       }
    }
}

is this possible with something else than eval()
thanks

ah...
wrapping eval() solved this

ApplicationWindow{ // my app
  id:root
...
  property var warnings : "" 
  property int nbr : 0
...

    Window{// my testing window
    
      TextInput{
               id:cmd
                     // i want to write  root.warnings = "warn" 
                     //or  root.nbr = 666
      }
       Button{
                  function evaluate(str){eval(str)} // wrap
        onClicked : evaluate(cmd.text) 
       }
    }
}

however qt creator still rises the warning

evaluate(cmd.text)

You want to eval user inputted text?! Are you going to vet that text?

Sorry, I totally missed that and went to the code. Maybe you can do it from the C++ side? Return the results to the QML side?

@fcarney thx,

i found exactly what i need, but not tested yet https://github.com/qtproject/qt-solutions/tree/master/qtpropertybrowser

do you know this project ? do you think i can use it with qtquick project ?

If you want to modify property for some live debugging, have you checked https://www.kdab.com/development-resources/qt-tools/gammaray/ ?

@GrecKo how to build it ? My QtQuick project uses Qt 13.0 and mingw73_64
there is a Install.txt file in the project it says :

 // Building on Windows with MinGW:
//Make sure you have the path to the MinGW programs in %PATH% first, for example:
% set "PATH=c:\MinGW\mingw64\bin;%PATH%"
Now build:
% mkdir build
% cd build
% cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
% mingw32-make
% mingw32-make install

should i use my Qt mingw or a standalone mingw here ?
