Exposing Array of Objects to QML side

[dheerendra]

class Fruit : public QObject {
     Q_PROPERTY(string name READ getname WRITE setname NOTIFY nameChanged) 
}

class FruitData: public QObject {
   QMap<int, Fruit*> m_Fruits;
}
fruitData = new FruitData;
engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("fruitData",&fruitData)

Exposed the FruitData object to qml.

Window {
    visible: true;width: 500;height: 500;title: qsTr("Hello World")

    Column {
        anchors.fill: parent;spacing: 5
        Repeater {
            model : fruit.count
            Rectangle {
                width: parent.width;height: 40;color : "#333333"
                Row {
                    anchors.centerIn: parent;spacing: 5
                    Text {text : fruitData.fruit.name}
                    Text {text : fruitData.fruit.price}
                    Text {text : fruitData.fruit.color}
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

C++ - I have 5 fruit objects on C++ side.
QML - I used the repeater and created Row of text elements to display 5 fruits name.

Question
How can I do property binding such that
Row-1 text should refer to array index 1 on C++ side
Row-2 text should refer to array index 2 on C++ side
Row-3 text should refer to array index 3 on C++ side

I dont want to expose it as AbstractItemModel. Is there possibility to achieve this ?

Have you seen this? http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-modelviewsdata-cppmodels.html

Personally I would always go with a QAbstractItemModel/QAbstractListModel based approach, but that's just personal preference. The above site demonstrates various ways of exposing C++ models to QML.

Thank you for the same. Yes, Model is the way to achieve it. I have already achieve this with model. I did not want to use the Model. As I requested is there some other way exist like just with property binding.

@dheerendra The closest I can imagine is to register the Fruit type and return to QML a QVariantList with Fruit objects in it. Then, if I'm correct and everything goes fine, it will be a javascript array with javascript objects and can be accessed in QML: "fruitArray[index].name". But can a javascript array with objects be used as a model? I don't think so. In that case you must create a ListModel in a loop using the fruitArray data. Note: I haven't tested any of this.
