Methods in a `extern "RustQt"` block similar to CXX can be tagged with an `#[inherit]` attribute, with the same restrictions regarding which types can be used.
Additionally, the `self` type must be either `self: Pin<&mut qobject::T>` or `self: &qobject::T`, where `qobject::T` must refer to a QObject marked with `#[cxx_qt::qobject]` in the `#[cxx_qt::bridge]`

The declared methods will be case-converted as in other CXX-Qt APIs.
To explicitly declare the C++ method name, use the `#[cxx_name="myFunctionName"]` attribute.

- `#[qobject]` - Expose a Rust struct to Qt as a QObject subclass.
- `#[qproperty]` - Expose a field of the Rust struct to QML/C++ as a [`Q_PROPERTY`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtqml-cppintegration-exposecppattributes.html#exposing-properties).

- `#[qsignal]` - Define the [Signals](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/signalsandslots.html#signals) of a QObject T.

CXX-Qt will then expand this Rust module into two separate parts:
- C++ files that define a QObject subclass for each `#[cxx_qt::qobject]` marked struct.
- The Rust code for the `#[cxx_qt::qobject]` marked Rust struct
- C++ files that define a QObject subclass for each `#[qobject]` marked struct.

For more details, see the [Concepts: Bridge](../concepts/bridge.md) page.

The important take away here is the duality of any subclass generated by CXX-Qt.
These classes are made up of the actual QObject subclass instance that C++ interacts with, as well as an instance of the `#[cxx_qt::qobject]` marked struct on the Rust side.
These classes are made up of the actual QObject subclass instance that C++ interacts with, as well as an instance of the `#[qobject]` marked struct on the Rust side.
When such a QObject is instantiated, it will always also construct an instance of the Rust struct as well.
The lifetime of the Rust struct will be bound to that of the QObject.
If the QObject is deleted, the Rust struct will be deleted as well.

# `#[cxx_qt::qobject]` Macro - Defining QObjects in Rust
# `#[qobject]` Macro - Defining QObjects in Rust

Defining QObjects is at the heart of CXX-Qt.
Therefore `#[cxx_qt::qobject]` can be considered the most important macro in CXX-Qt.
Therefore `#[qobject]` can be considered the most important macro in CXX-Qt.

## Requirements
- Like most other CXX-Qt macros, it can only be used from within a [`#[cxx_qt::bridge]`](./bridge-macro.md).
- The `#[cxx_qt::qobject]` macro must be placed on a Rust struct.
- The `#[qobject]` macro must be placed on a Rust struct.
- The struct must [`impl Default`](#default), so that it can be constructed as part of a QObject.

Fields within your `#[qobject]` struct that aren't tagged as `#[qproperty]` are not exposed as properties to Qt. These can be considered as "private to Rust" fields, and are useful for storing channels for threading or internal information for the QObject.
Because they aren't available from C++, they also don't have any special type requirements and can be any Rust type.
Use the `rust` and `rust_mut` methods to access the struct and therefore the fields.
