Detailed Description

The QQmlComponent class encapsulates a QML component definition.

Since

5.0 \inmodule QtQml

Components are reusable, encapsulated QML types with well-defined interfaces.

A QQmlComponent instance can be created from a QML file. For example, if there is a main.qml file like this:

\qml import QtQuick 2.0

Item { width: 200 height: 200 } \endqml

The following code loads this QML file as a component, creates an instance of this component using create(), and then queries the \l Item's \l {Item::}{width} value:

QQmlEngine *engine = new QQmlEngine;
QQmlComponent component(engine, QUrl::fromLocalFile("main.qml"));
 
QObject *myObject = component.create();
QQuickItem *item = qobject_cast<QQuickItem*>(myObject);
int width = item->width();  // width = 200

To create instances of a component in code where a QQmlEngine instance is not available, you can use \l qmlContext() or \l qmlEngine(). For example, in the scenario below, child items are being created within a QQuickItem subclass:

void MyCppItem::init()
{
    QQmlEngine *engine = qmlEngine(this);
    // Or:
    // QQmlEngine *engine = qmlContext(this)->engine();
    QQmlComponent component(engine, QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyItem.qml"));
    QQuickItem *childItem = qobject_cast<QQuickItem*>(component.create());
    childItem->setParentItem(this);
}

Note that these functions will return null when called inside the constructor of a QObject subclass, as the instance will not yet have a context nor engine.

CompilationMode

enum QQmlComponent::CompilationMode

Specifies whether the QQmlComponent should load the component immediately, or asynchonously.

\value PreferSynchronous Prefer loading/compiling the component immediately, blocking the thread. This is not always possible; for example, remote URLs will always load asynchronously. \value Asynchronous Load/compile the component in a background thread.

Member Function Documentation

beginCreate()

QObject * QQmlComponent::beginCreate ( QQmlContext *  context )

virtual

Create an object instance from this component, within the specified context.

Returns \nullptr if creation failed.

Note

This method provides advanced control over component instance creation. In general, programmers should use QQmlComponent::create() to create object instances.

When QQmlComponent constructs an instance, it occurs in three steps:

\list 1

• The object hierarchy is created, and constant values are assigned.
• Property bindings are evaluated for the first time.
• If applicable, QQmlParserStatus::componentComplete() is called on objects. \endlist

QQmlComponent::beginCreate() differs from QQmlComponent::create() in that it only performs step 1. QQmlComponent::completeCreate() must be called to complete steps 2 and 3.

This breaking point is sometimes useful when using attached properties to communicate information to an instantiated component, as it allows their initial values to be configured before property bindings take effect.

The ownership of the returned object instance is transferred to the caller.

The ownership of the returned object instance is transferred to the caller.

If the object being created from this component is a visual item, it must have a visual parent, which can be set by calling QQuickItem::setParentItem(). See \l {Concepts - Visual Parent in Qt Quick} for more details.

Create an object instance from this component using the provided incubator.

context specifies the context within which to create the object instance.

If context is \nullptr (by default), it will create the instance in the engine's \l {QQmlEngine::rootContext()}{root context}.

forContext specifies a context that this object creation depends upon. If the forContext is being created asynchronously, and the \l QQmlIncubator::IncubationMode is \l QQmlIncubator::AsynchronousIfNested, this object will also be created asynchronously. If forContext is \nullptr (by default), the context will be used for this decision.

The created object and its creation status are available via the incubator.

incubateObject()

void QQmlComponent::incubateObject ( QQmlV4Function *  args )

protected

\qmlmethod object Component::incubateObject(QtObject parent, object properties, enumeration mode)

Creates an incubator for an instance of this component. Incubators allow new component instances to be instantiated asynchronously and do not cause freezes in the UI.

The parent argument specifies the parent the created instance will have. Omitting the parameter or passing null will create an object with no parent. In this case, a reference to the created object must be held so that it is not destroyed by the garbage collector.

The properties argument is specified as a map of property-value items which will be set on the created object during its construction. mode may be Qt.Synchronous or Qt.Asynchronous, and controls whether the instance is created synchronously or asynchronously. The default is asynchronous. In some circumstances, even if Qt.Synchronous is specified, the incubator may create the object asynchronously. This happens if the component calling incubateObject() is itself being created asynchronously.

All three arguments are optional.

If successful, the method returns an incubator, otherwise null. The incubator has the following properties:

\list

• status - The status of the incubator. Valid values are Component.Ready, Component.Loading and Component.Error.
• object - The created object instance. Will only be available once the incubator is in the Ready status.
• onStatusChanged - Specifies a callback function to be invoked when the status changes. The status is passed as a parameter to the callback.
• {forceCompletion()} - Call to complete incubation synchronously. \endlist

The following example demonstrates how to use an incubator:

\qml const component = Qt.createComponent("Button.qml");

const incubator = component.incubateObject(parent, { x: 10, y: 10 }); if (incubator.status !== Component.Ready) { incubator.onStatusChanged = function(status) { if (status === Component.Ready) { print("Object", incubator.object, "is now ready!"); } }; } else { print("Object", incubator.object, "is ready immediately!"); } \endqml

Dynamically created instances can be deleted with the destroy() method. See \l {Dynamic QML Object Creation from JavaScript} for more information.

void QQmlComponent::loadFromModule ( QAnyStringView  uri, QAnyStringView  typeName, QQmlComponent::CompilationMode  mode = PreferSynchronous  )

slot

Load the QQmlComponent for typeName in the module uri.

If the type is implemented via a QML file, mode is used to load it. Types backed by C++ are always loaded synchronously.

QQmlEngine engine;
QQmlComponent component(&engine);
component.loadFromModule("QtQuick", "Item");
// once the component is ready
std::unique_ptr<QObject> item(component.create());
Q_ASSERT(item->metaObject() == &QQuickItem::staticMetaObject);
