\page qml QML compatibility
Communi strives for full QML support. The property-based APIs have been
designed QML compatibility in mind. Almost all the types can be registered
to QML and used as is.
A ready-made QML plugin is also provided for convenience. The plugin does
QML type registration and is made available via the following import:
\code
import Communi 3.0
\endcode
\section qml-type-registration Type registration
The following snippet illustrates how the Communi QML plugin does the type
registration. The same can be done manually in application code to avoid
the need of deploying the Communi QML plugin.
\snippet src/imports/qml2/plugin.cpp qml-register-types
\section qml-connecting-to-irc Connecting to IRC
In order to connect to IRC in QML, declare an IrcConnection instance,
set the desired properties, and call \ref IrcConnection::open()
"connection.open()".
\code
IrcConnection {
id: freenode
host: "irc.freenode.net"
userName: "communi"
nickName: "Communi" + Math.round(Math.random() * 9999)
realName: "Communi QML example"
}
\endcode
\section qml-sending-commands Sending commands
Even though the IrcCommand::createXxx() methods are static, QML does not
provide a way to call them without an IrcCommand instance. Thus, in order
to create and send commands, declare an instance of IrcCommand, call any
createXxx() method to create a command, and finally send it via
IrcCommand::sendCommand().
\code
IrcCommand { id: command }
IrcConnection {
onConnected: {
var cmd = command.createJoin(channel)
sendCommand(cmd)
}
}
\endcode
\section qml-channels-and-queries Channels and queries
In order to keep track of channels and queries, declare an instance of
IrcBufferModel. Notice that it can be used directly as a data model for
QML types such as ListView and Repeater.
\code
IrcBufferModel {
id: bufferModel
connection: freenode
}
\endcode
IrcBufferModel creates channel and query buffers automatically when
the client joins channels and receives private messages, respectively.
A typical IRC client has a special server buffer for messages that
are not targeted to any specific channel or query. This can be easily
achieved by declaring an instance of IrcBuffer and forwarding the
messages ignored by IrcBufferModel to it.
\code
IrcBuffer {
id: serverBuffer
name: freenode.displayName
Component.onCompleted: bufferModel.add(serverBuffer)
}
IrcBufferModel {
id: bufferModel
connection: freenode
onMessageIgnored: serverBuffer.receiveMessage(message)
}
\endcode
\section qml-channel-users Channel users
In order to keep track of channel users, create an instance of IrcUserModel.
It can be also used directly as a data model for QML types such as ListView
and Repeater.
\code
IrcUserModel {
id: userModel
channel: currentBuffer.toChannel()
}
\endcode
\section qml-parsing-user-commands Parsing user commands
IrcCommandParser helps with parsing commands from user input. In order to
take it in use, declare an instance of IrcCommandParser and introduce the
desired commands.
Notice that commands are often context sensitive. While some command may
accept an optional parameter that is filled up with the current target
(channel/query) name when absent, another command may always inject the
current target name as a certain parameter. Therefore IrcCommandParser
must be kept up-to-date with the current target and the list of channels.
\code
IrcCommandParser {
id: parser
triggers: ["/"]
target: currentBuffer.title
channels: bufferModel.channels
Component.onCompleted: {
parser.addCommand(IrcCommand.Join, "JOIN <#channel> (<key>)");
parser.addCommand(IrcCommand.Part, "PART (<#channel>) (<message...>)");
parser.addCommand(IrcCommand.Kick, "KICK (<#channel>) <nick> (<reason...>)");
parser.addCommand(IrcCommand.CtcpAction, "ME [target] <message...>");
}
}
\endcode
