Python QML Previewer and Client
pqp
previews QML components and continuously updates while you're editing the source code.
Start
Launch an empty previewer:
> pqp
Launch the previewer displaying one or more components by providing the paths:
> pqp TextFoo.qml bar/ComboBaz.qml
Loading components
Load components by clicking the 'Load' button.
Alternatively you can run the client:
> pqpc HackWindow.qml
It sends one or more component paths via UDP to port 31415. The previewer pqp
listens to that port and loads the components.
Pausing/resuming preview
pqp
continuously updates, regardless of changes in the source code or not. If you wish to test user interaction functionality of your component, you can pause the preview by clicking the 'Preview' button.
qmltags
Basic ctags generator for QML components
qmltags
generates 'class' ctags for custom QML components.
Run without arguments to recursively parse the current directory and its subdirectories for QML files
> qmltags
Alternatively, you can provide one or more paths to QML components:
> qmltags HackWindow.qml screen/*.qml
This assumes that your shell performs file name expansion.
Note that qmltags
overwrites a tags
file in the current working directory if it exists.
pyqmlscene
Basic Python port of the
qmlscene
utility
Run with a QML file holding an arbitrary component as argument:
> pyqmlscene MyComponent.qml
