How to implement your own type of ListModel?

Qnoobish

Hello everyone,

What I've been trying to do is creating my own personal ListModel.
A normal List Model looks like this:

@ListModel{
id: myModel
ListElement{ name:"Joe"; title: "President"}
}@

But I would like to add more functionality to that model and I thought of using a C++ class binding with the QML.

Right now I have my own type of model, something like this:

@
MyModel
{
id: myModel
nodes : [
Node{name:"root"},
Node{name:"child"}]
}
@

But I would like to skip the "nodes" property so the syntax could be the same as in the ListModel, let's say something like this:
@
MyModel
{
Node{name:"root"}
Node{name:"child"}
}
@

Right now I am using the class QQmlListProperty, but I don't know if this class could help me do what I want. I feel like I am getting closer but hopefully someone could share some knowledge.

Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't it be enough to create a model in Cpp and pass it to QML? If it would be enough i could help you with the Cpp model but i haven't worked with creating an own QML model from QML so i might not help you with that.

I know how to create a model in C++ and pass it to QML and actually I am using C++ bindings with QML.
I would like to do the mentioned in my post to be close to the syntax of a usual ListModel in QML, so people could follow those rules with my own Model.

The only thing different from what I want, and I would like to remove, is that "nodes" property in MyModel.

Thanks for your response!
