[SOLVED] Quering Enginio with QML

clochydd

Hi guidupas,

until now I didn't use a ComboBox with QML and Enginio, so I've made this small example:

Assume, we have a collection objects.contacts with custom properties name and address:

{
  "name": "Peter",
  "address": "Somewhere"
}
{
  "name": "Peter",
  "address": "Anywhere"
}

and we want to see the addresses for all Peters in the ComboBox:

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import Enginio 1.0

Rectangle {
    width: 500; height: 200

    EnginioClient {
        id: client
        backendId: "myBackendID..."
        onError: console.log(reply.errorCode + ": " + reply.errorString)
    }
    EnginioModel {
        id: eModel
        client: client
        query: {
            "objectType": "objects.contacts",
            "query" : {"name": "Peter"}
        }
    }
    ComboBox {
        model: eModel
        textRole: "address"

    }
}

And your ComboBox will contain:
Somewhere
Anywhere

Hope, it helps a bit...

Hello @clochydd !

I heard that Enginio is going to be deprecated. Do you know if this is true?

Cheers.

Hi,

AFAIK, the talk is about the client library, not the service

clochydd

Hi SGaist,

thanks for your comment - is there any information available in the forum or elsewhere? I wonder about the consequences, if the client library will be deprecated.

SGaist

Currently I only saw this on the mailing list. If that be the case, it will be properly announced. The deprecation just means that there won't be further development on the client part except security related stuff. The code itself isn't going to disappear.

I was just starting to learn engin.io but according to the 5.6 roadmap the module will be deprecated http://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6). What would be the recommanded way to communicate with an EDS backend from a qml mobile app? Even if the api will remains I feel it is not advisable to start a new project with an ingoing deprecated module...

@Charby
You are absolutely right! And it seems to be quite strange to see Digia propagating Enginio on their current web presence while planning to remove Qt Enginio...

From https://developer.qtcloudservices.com/eds/references/sdk-libraries It looks like there's something in the work.

@SGaist Sir I am new to qt . I didn't know where to ask to I am givingmy question here:

I downloaded qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.4.1.run but how to install it on ubuntu 14.04LTS?

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You have a wiki entry here that describes how to do it.

For future questions: please don't highjack threads with completely unrelated questions.
