Why can't I use ternary operator with onClicked

sosun

My code looks like this:

Rectangle {
    id: background
    color: "steelblue"
}
Image {
    id: pic
    source: "pic.png"
}

MouseArea {
    id: mouseArea
    anchors.fill: pic
    onClicked: background.color = (background.color === "steelblue") ? "purple" : "steelblue"
}

The result is that background changes its color only once to "steelblue" and no again. I want it to change its color from 1 to 2 and vice versa every time I click on it. What I can do?

I tried even variations with js functions and etc. Nothing helped.

Hi,

There's a conversion done when you set the color property thus currently what you are doing is comparing a color with a string.

The solution is: background.color = Qt.colorEqual(background.color, "steelblue") ? "purple" : "steel blue"
