Using a Repeater inside a ListModel to generate ListElements

raiyan0511

I am trying to use a backend C++ model inside my ListView, and was trying to create ListElements with a Repeater.

Here's the ListModel code I have:

import QtQuick 2.0

ListModel {
//    ListElement {
//        name: "Forceps"
//        weight: 1
//    }

//    ListElement {
//        name: "Endoscope"
//        weight: 2
//    }

//    ListElement {
//        name: "Drill"
//        weight: 3
//    }

    Repeater {
        model: myModel

        ListElement {
            name: myModel.toolName
            weight: myModel.toolWeight
        }
    }
}

Here is the relevant code from main.cpp

    QList<QObject*> dataList;

    dataList.append(new ToolViewModel(0, "Forceps"));
    dataList.append(new ToolViewModel(1, "Endoscope"));
    dataList.append(new ToolViewModel(2, "Drill"));
    QQuickView view;
    QQmlContext *ctxt = view.rootContext();
    ctxt->setContextProperty("myModel", QVariant::fromValue(dataList));

I wanted to know if there was any way this could work, i.e using a Repeater inside a ListModel. Currently getting this error:
ListElement: cannot contain nested elements

Thank you!

This is not possible.

You can use your dataList context property directly as a model of a ListView instead.
