Console Example

This extension can be used to demonstrate basic usage of cutehmi.console.0 tool.

To run the example use following command.

cutehmi.console.0 CuteHMI.Examples.Console.0

The example defines very simple QtObject-based Console component, which looks as follows.

QtObject {
    objectName: "console"
 
    property string book: "Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler"
 
    function tell() {
        console.info(qsTr("I highly recommend the book %1!").arg(book))
    }
}

This component is instantiated by cutehmi.console.0 tool and it can be queried from the command line. Let's ask for its book property.

# book
cutehmi.console.0: QVariant(QString, Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler)

We can call tell() function as well.

# tell()
qml: I highly recommend the book Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler!

If you don't like this book the book property can be altered from the command line.

# book = "The Star Diaries by Stanislaw Lem"

Now tell() function yields.

# tell()
qml: I highly recommend the book The Star Diaries by Stanislaw Lem!

To finish the console session type \q.
