Hi, Yes, But not sure how to include .qml files in bazel build files as it supports C++.

QML is read from disk at runtime. There is no need for a build system to "support" it.

If you want to bake QML files into your application, then use QRC (Qt Resource System). I don't know bezel but it should have some means of running external tools, right? If so, you can simply write your QRC file and run rcc binary (from QtDirectory/bin folder) on it to generate a c++ file with embedded resources. Then you include that c++ file in your build instructions. Should work :-)

Bazel is a build system for Tensorflow code...I am using tensor flow with Qt qml .... so Qt Qml has to be build using bazel...there is method to include cpp files and build ....but there are no instructions how to add qml files in bazel build system for compilation.

I just wrote you how to do it... just put that description into practice. If you're fine with reading QML files from your hard drive (that might be a good solution fo a quick start), then you don't need to do anything in bezel. Just point your QQmlEngine to main.qml file, wherever it is on your disk.
