    \page qmlbot QML bot example

    The QML bot example is a simplified version of the \ref bot "bot example",
    written in QML. See the \ref qml article for more QML specific details.

    \image html qmlbot.png "The QML bot example in action"

    The following snippet illustrates how IrcConnection is prepared and opened,
    and how a command is queued to automatically join a channel when connected.

    \snippet qmlbot/qml/main.qml connection

    The example utilizes IrcCommandParser for parsing commands from messages
    received from other clients. In order to take the parser in use, the supported
    commands must be teached, as illustrated below. Some of the commands are context
    sensitive, and the parser must be therefore kept aware of the list of channels
    the bot is on. This is easily achieved by binding the IrcCommandParser::channels
    property to the value of the IrcBufferModel::channels property. Furthermore, like
    a typical IRC bot, the commands are triggered using a slightly different syntax in
    queries and channels.

    \snippet qmlbot/qml/main.qml parser

    The bot listens to incoming messages via \ref IrcConnection::messageReceived().
    The current target is chosen based on whether the incoming message is a channel
    or a private message. Each message content is parsed for commands that were
    taught earlier.
