Solved Dynamically reference QML components

[respect88]

I would like to use the string returned from key.event.text to dynamically reference the component that has a matching id.

I could have many different components with id's that I don't know of which is why I am trying to make this dynamic, hence the commented out switch statement.

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15

Window {
    width: 300
    height: 300
    visible: true

    Item {
        focus: true
        Keys.onPressed: {
            rect_id = event.text
            rect_id.color = 'red'

            // switch (event.text) {
            //     case 'q':
            //         q.color = 'red'
            //         break;
            //     case 'w':
            //         w.color = 'red'
            //         break;
            // }
        }
    }
    Row {
        Rectangle {
            id: 'q'
            width: 50
            height: 50
            border.color: '#000'
            border.width: 1
            color: 'transparent'
        }

        Rectangle {
            id: 'w'
            width: 50
            height: 50
            border.color: '#000'
            border.width: 1
            color: 'transparent'
        }
    }

}

property var dict = ({
  'q' : q
  'w' : w
})

Item {
  id: q
  function func1(){}
}
Item {
  id: w
  function func1(){}
}

Access them:

dict['w'].func1()

[fcarney]

property var dict = ({
  'q' : q
  'w' : w
})

Item {
  id: q
  function func1(){}
}
Item {
  id: w
  function func1(){}
}

Access them:

dict['w'].func1()
