Exposing a custom data type to QML

swurl

Qt Version is 6.7.2.

What I'm looking for is essentially to have a struct or class, e.g.

typedef struct CustomType {
    Q_GADGET
    QString customValue;
    // Q_PROPERTY stuff here...
}

and then declare it to Qt in such a way that I can have a variable -- NOT a component -- with that type, and be able to explicitly declare it as such, i.e.

Item {
    property CustomType customType

    Component.onCompleted: {
        customType.customValue = "Test Value"
        console.log(customType.customValue, typeof customType) // Test Value CustomType
    }
}

In essence, bringing my own custom types into QML land much like QRect -> rect, QColor -> color, etc. but NOT as a component as the documentation outlines.

How would I go about doing this?

Does this help?
