How to Identify Model In Use?

[mzimmers]

Hi all -

I have a Repeater for a custom TabBar. The contents of the TabButtons is to depend on which model is applied to the repeater. Here's what I'm trying:

Repeater {
    model: (navBar.tabIndex < 4) ? zoneModel : prefsModel
    Tabbutton_custom {
        text: qsTr(model.name)
        icon.source: (model === prefsModel && model.image !== "") ? model.image : Qt.resolvedUrl("")
        bgColor: auxTabBar.bgColor
        imageSize: auxTabBar.height / 2
    }
}

My error seems to be here:

icon.source: (model === prefsModel && model.image !== "") ? model.image : Qt.resolvedUrl("")

The "model === prefsModel" always seems to evaluate as false. I imagine I'm improperly forming the test. How can I determine which model is in use here?

Thanks...

@mzimmers This looks like a scoping issue. Unless the Repeater is the top level Item the lower Items won't see the "model".

Repeater {
    id: repeater
    model: (navBar.tabIndex < 4) ? zoneModel : prefsModel
    Tabbutton_custom {
        text: qsTr(repeater.model.name)
        icon.source: (repeater.model.objectName === "prefsModel" && repeater.model.image !== "") ? repeater.model.image : Qt.resolvedUrl("")
        bgColor: auxTabBar.bgColor
        imageSize: auxTabBar.height / 2
    }
}

Or you could use parent.model in this case.

Are you not getting all sorts of errors in the application output?

@mzimmers
In the object there is the property objectName, I used it in a similar case.

@piervalli interesting. It's not working for me; perhaps I'm not using it properly?

ListModel {
    id: prefsModel
    objectName: "prefsModel"
    ListElement { name: "Profile && Accounts"; image: "" }
    ListElement { name: "Device"; image: ""}
    ListElement { name: "Site"; image: "" }
    ListElement { name: "ZONE"; image: "qrc:/icons/add.svg" }
}

Repeater {
    model: (navBar.tabIndex < 4) ? zoneModel : prefsModel
    Tabbutton_custom {
        text: qsTr(model.name)
        icon.source: (model.objectName === "prefsModel" && model.image !== "") ? model.image : Qt.resolvedUrl("")
        bgColor: auxTabBar.bgColor
        imageSize: auxTabBar.height / 2
    }
}

@fcarney well...that fixed it. Interestingly enough, I don't find it necessary to scope the model in the text: line...not sure why it would be different for item.source.

And no, I'm not getting any errors.

But...I'll consider it solved. Thanks!

@mzimmers Yeah, that is weird.
