[Solved]Element Template

onek24

Hey,

is it possible to create a Template of a QML Element or an own QML Element without using Cpp? I've got a lot of Labels and Textelements which are using a same format and it would be better to set the format once for all Labels, is that possible?

Example:
@Item {
Label {
font.size: 14
text: "Some Text"
}
Label {
font.size: 14
text: "More Text"
}
}@

I would like to have it like that:
@Item {
MyLabel { // Already font size 14
text: "Some Text"
}
MyLabel { // Already font size 14
text: "More Text"
}
}@

Sure! All you need to do is to put your label into a new QML file and include it:
@
// MyLabel.qml
Label {
font.size: 14
}
@

You need to make sure the file name (MyLabel.qml) begins with a capital letter, otherwise the QML engine will not pick it up. You include the file using standard import statement.

Hi,
You just have to create a component for this.
Either in a .qml file:
MyLabel.qml
@
Label {
font.size: 14
}
@

or declaring a component in your QML code:
@
Component{
id: myLabel

Label {
    font.size: 14
    text: "More Text"
}

}
@

Well I see sierdzio has been faster than me ;)
Also for the second solution I proposed you won't be able to declare your elements as in your code above but through dynamic object creation, Repaeter, Loader or similar elements.

Thank you guys very much. I already had tried this but i didn't know about the capital letter. At least it is working now.

How to implement it?

For that solution, you need a Loader or an Repeater. See the documentation.
