Extending LocalStorage

[TheCreativeMind]

Hey Guys,

I am pretty new to C++ and QML and this might be a pretty easy question for you to answer. Rummaging through various forums and tutorials however hasn't revealed a solution for my problem so far.

Okay now to my problem: I want to extend the range of functions for the QtQuick LocalStorage Plugin, namely encrypt the sqlite database. So far I managed to compile a sqlite driver with SQLCIPHER support.

Now I want to write my own localstorage plugin i.e. Inherit from the QQuickLocalStorage class and extend the openDatabaseSync function with an additional passkey argument.

The problem is that I cannot find the correct include path to let my class inherit from the QQuickLocalStorage class which is used in the original QtQuick.LocalStorage.

Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

As far as I understand this, there is no benefit to inherit from QQuickLocalStorage, which consists only of one (non-virtual) function anyway. Its also just a .cpp file, no headers (Src\qtdeclarative\src\imports\localstorage\plugin.cpp) and a lot usage of internal/private qml engine stuff.

I would suggest that you write your own custom plugin, which handles the sql logic in C++.

Thx for the quick answer.

And yes, after spending hours on finding a proper solution this is definitely is the easier way of doing it.
