Return QObject * objects to be used both in QML and Javascript
-
Hi,
I am a little bit confused.
I have a JSWrapperObject inheriting from QObject with a test method. This method must return (in some way) a QObject * to the JS engine and the QML engine depending on who called it. What type should I return precisely and how should I add it to the engines?
For the moment:
- Returning a QJsonObject works but is useless for me as I need to call methods on the returned object;
- Returning a QJSValue wrapping my object works in the JS engine but not in the QML engine;
- doing qmlEngine->rootContext()->setContextProperty("test", new JSWrapperObject); works in QML, but not in JS.
Ultimately, I would like the GUI (QML) to call JS methods which in turn call my C++ methods.
Thanks for your help.

Some updates. I did some tests. So:
- Returning a QVariant object to QML engine works;
- Returning my custom C++ object to QML does NOT work. The type is correctly registered because I can do something like:
qmlEngine->rootContext()->setContextProperty("testObj", new namespace::JSWrapperObject());
I can access testObj and check that the type is correctly registered.
Any idea why I could use this type by creating it directly from C++ into QML with the previous line but not by returning it from Q_INVOKABLE methods?
