qmltypes file and dynamically defined properties
-
Hi,
I have created a QML module and provide a qmltypes file for auto completion in QtCreator. Some of the types use a QQmlCustomParser for some special properties. Those are not predefined and thus, I cannot explicitly specify them in a qmltypes file.
// snippet from qmltypes file Component { name: "Dimension" exports: [ "qst/Dimension 1.0" ] exportMetaObjectRevisions: [0] }
QtCreator shows me a warning for every property that is not defined in the qmltypes file. Is there a possibility in the qmltypes file to say that the component may contain properties with arbitrary names?
I would like to make an exception for certain components such as
Dimension
. The fact that it can contain atag
property depends on something else, defined at run-time.Thanks

There is nothing special in the plugins.qnltypes for
PropertyChanges
,Connections
orListElement
.I haven't read all the code nor understood it, but at first glance it seems that it is hardcoded in Qt Creator https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qt-creator/src/libs/qmljs/qmljsscopebuilder.cpp.html#172
QQmlCustomParser
is a private class so I guess you are out of luck and will need to deal with Qt Creator warnings. -
Thank you for trying to help. Good idea to fake a
Connections
orListElement
type, but how can I set it as a prototype for my custom type? The following doesn't work:Component { name: "Dimension" prototype: "QtQuick/Connections 2.0" exports: [ "qst/Dimension 1.0" ] exportMetaObjectRevisions: [0] }
I don't fully understand the linked code block, but it looks like QtCreator is not able to recognize a custom type derived from
ListElement
. I reported QTCREATORBUG-20734
