QML Extension Plugin as static library

JanW

Hi,

I'm trying to organize my code a little bit, but I'm failing put my shared qml files and C++ components in a separate library. I also want to "protect" my qml files by putting them in a resource file (I'm working on windows + Visual Studio + Qt VS addin). My structure is as follows

RootFolder
-Binaries
--MyApp,exe
--SharedQMLLibrary.lib
-Source
--MyApp
---Main.cpp
---MyAppMainWindow.qml
--Libraries
---SharedQMLLibrary
----SharedWindow.qml
----SharedComponent.cpp
----qmldir
----SharedQMLLibraryResource.qrc

In MySharedQMLLibrary i have a resource.qrc file which has qmldir and SharedWindow.qml as a file. In MyApp i have in the Main.cpp file Q_INIT_RESOURCE(SharedQMLLibraryResource); The qmldir file just contains :
SharedWindow 1.0 SharedWindow.qml
In my MyAppMainWindow.qml i can just do

#import 'qrc:/.'

SharedWindow
{
}
...

and it works. Now I'm struggling to make the C++ components available in MyMainWindow.qml.
I've created a SharedQMLLibrary_plugin class which inherits from QQmlExtensionPlugin and in the registerTypes method i've added

qmlRegisterType<SharedComponent>(uri, 1, 0, "SharedComponent");

I've also updated the qmldir file to

module MyModule
SharedWindow 1.0 SharedWindow.qml
plugin sharedqmllibrary

but when i try to do in the MyAppMainWindow.qml

#import 'qrc:/.'
#import MyModule 1.0

SharedComponent
{
}
...

It complains that module "MyModule" plugin "SharedQMLLibrary" not found. Anybody has any advice on how the qmldir file should look like, what i should import in the application qml files and how the output libraries in my binaries folder should be structured?
Thanks,

Jan

Hmm, I think my brain doesn't work well today. The qmldir stuff is only necessary for a shared library. Just a static library is ok... I can easily make my own init function in it to register all the types and i don't need the qmldir stuff (made it work with a dll to, i just forgot to put the dll on the correct location). Nevermind, problem solved, sorry for the confusion...
