In a nutshell, QtLager is a framework for React/Redux-like programming for C++. It is based on Qt, a widespread, platform-independend library for UI development, and Lager, an excellent library for functional/Redux-like programming for C++ by Juanpe. With this framework you can create fast and responsive desktop and mobile applications.
This framework is still in very early development. It is going to change a lot in the next few weeks, so be careful if you already want to use it and maybe contact me for further pointers.
- clone this repo into your project folder or add it as a submodule
- Do a
git submodule update --init --recursive - Lager needs to be configured:
- go to Core/extern/lager
mkdir -p build && cd build cmake .. -D lager_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -D lager_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -D lager_BUILD_DOCS=OFF
- Create a new cmake subdirectory-project in the parent folder and add Core
- Create at least one reducer and one view plugin
- you can create as many reducer and view plugins as you want
- In the main view plugin create a qrc-file with a main.qml in it
- this is the qml-file that will be executed at startup (qrc:/main.qml)
- other views can be included by setting context properties on the root context
- Define the actions and the model in the respective files in Core/Sources
My goals with this framework are:
- Quick and easy start even for people new to C++ and functional concepts
- Minimal development overhead through hot-reloading
- Clear instructions and tutorials
- Easy deployment and auto-update
- Well tested and easy to test
