qml-kickstart

The idea of this project is to provide a simple and concise example on how one might start developing their QML application.

What do we provide:

• Android, iOS, MacOS, Windows and Linux support with example code for platforms
• live reload in DEBUG mode, production release bundled to .qrc in RELEASE mode
• predefined icons from Ionicons
• predefined Roboto font
• minor sugar like HTTP caching using QNetworkDiskCache, ignoring SSL cerficates errors for development and similar

How to

Debug mode

In debug mode, source files are served over HTTP using Node.js HTTP server and QML Loader element.

To notify client that something is changed Websocket communication is used.

For more details have a look into server directory.

Start server from server directory:

npm start

Enter your server (host where you started your server) ip into src/config.js.

Open qml-kickstart.pro and select Debug build. Build and deploy. After you change any .qml or .js file, application will reload automatically.

Release mode

Open QML-Kickstart.pro and select Release build. Build and deploy.

In this mode, everything is bundled and used from .qrc files.
