Introduction

I started studying QML and realized that QT with QML is really well done, but I was missing some basic components. I started collecting them for myself and maybe they can be useful for someone. First I felt the need to have an easy-to-use grid component, so starting from TableView QML Type I modeled a new grid component on top of it. Then I continued adding Font Awesome icons and other usefull components.

BppTable is the grid component module

BppFa is a module that started to use Font Awesome in QML, later several UI components were added

Requirements

Tested on Windows and Linux, Android 6+, may work on other plaftorms

Developed with Qt 5.12.3 (and 5.14.2)

Warnings

QT >= 5.15 prints warning message QML Connections: Implicitly defined onFoo properties in Connections are deprecated., but this project cannot use the new syntax because it requires compatibility with Qt 5.12. Consider QT_LOGGING_RULES="qt.qml.connections=false"

How to start a new project

• in your project .pro add :

include($$PWD/bppgrid/BppTable.pri)
include($$PWD/bppgrid/BppFa.pri) #only if you plan to use FontAwesome 5 Icons

• in main.cpp call

bpp::TableModel::registerQml()
bpp::FontAwesome::registerQml(engine); //Optional
engine.addImportPath("qrc:/")

Example:

#include <bpptablemodel.h>
#include <bppfontawesome.h> //Optional

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
...
    bpp::TableModel::registerQml();
    bpp::FontAwesome::registerQml(engine); //Optional
    engine.addImportPath("qrc:/");
...
}

• in qml file add imports

import BppTable 0.1

• Use it!

Example QML

import QtQuick 2.13
import QtQuick.Window 2.13
import BppTable 0.1

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    property var fruitList: [
        {pkid: 1, name: "Apple", cost: 2.45},
        {pkid: 2, name: "Orange", cost: 3.45},
        {pkid: 3, name: "Banana", cost: 1.459},
        {pkid: 4, name: "Strawberry", cost: 1.1467}
    ];

    CompGrid {
        id: bGrid
        anchors.fill: parent
        anchors.margins: 10

        dataHeight: 30

        Component {
            id: cellItem

            Rectangle {
                implicitHeight: bGrid.dataHeight
                color: bGrid.getCellBk(row, highlight)

                CellText {
                    text: bGrid.formatDisplay(display, dataType, 2)
                    horizontalAlignment: bGrid.getAlign(dataType)
                }

                CellClicker {
                    grid: bGrid
                }
            }
        }

        cellDelegate: cellItem

        fromArray: [
            { role: "pkid", title: "ID", dataType: BTColumn.Int },
            { role: "name", title: "Name", minWidth: 100 },
            { role: "cost", title: "Cost", dataType: BTColumn.Dbl }
         ]
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        bGrid.fillFromJson(fruitList);
    }
}
