# Set a context property with our JuliaItemModel
propmap["fruitModel"] = JuliaItemModel(fruitlist)
```

--------------------------------

### Load QML with QQmlApplicationEngine

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Load a QML file using QQmlApplicationEngine. The `loadqml` function creates and returns the engine, and `exec` runs the application. The engine is managed by C++ and cleaned up on application quit.

### Load QML from String with QQmlComponent

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Load QML code from a Julia string using QQmlComponent. The QML data is wrapped in `QByteArray`. `init_qmlengine` initializes the QML engine, `QQmlComponent` creates the component, `set_data` loads the QML string, and `create` instantiates it.

```julia
qml_data = QByteArray("\nimport ...\n\nApplicationWindow {\n  ...\n}")

qengine = init_qmlengine()
qcomp = QQmlComponent(qengine)
set_data(qcomp, qml_data, "")
create(qcomp, qmlcontext());

# Run the application
exec()
```

--------------------------------

### Setting up QTimer for Background Execution

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Configures a QTimer and a Julia observable 'bg_counter' to simulate background processing. A Julia function 'counter_slot' is defined to increment the counter and is exposed to QML.

```julia
const bg_counter = Observable(0)

function counter_slot()
  global bg_counter
  bg_counter[] += 1
end

@qmlfunction counter_slot

loadqml(qml_file, timer=QTimer(), bg_counter=bg_counter)
```

--------------------------------

### Load QML with Property Map

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Pass a QQmlPropertyMap to loadqml to set context properties for the QML file.

loadqml(qml_file, propmap)
```

--------------------------------

### Define Julia Functions for QML

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/docs/src/index.md

This snippet demonstrates how to define Julia functions that can be called from QML using the `@qmlfunction` macro. It also shows how to create a `JuliaPropertyMap` and load a QML file with context properties.

```Julia
module QmlModuleTest

using QML
# absolute path in case working dir is overridden
const qml_file = joinpath(dirname(@__FILE__), "qml", "frommodule.qml")

# Propertymap is a pointer, so it needs to be a function and not a const value
props() = JuliaPropertyMap(
    "hi" => "Hi",
)

world() = " world!"

# Convenience function to call all relevant function macros
function define_funcs()
  @qmlfunction world
end

function main()
  define_funcs()
  loadqml(qml_file; props=props())
  exec()
end

end # module QmlModuleTest
```

--------------------------------

### Setting QSG_RENDER_LOOP Environment Variable

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Set this environment variable to 'basic' at the top of your Julia file to prevent crashes or infinite loops when using JuliaCanvas.

```julia
ENV["QSG_RENDER_LOOP"] = "basic"
```

--------------------------------

### Exposing JuliaItemModel to QML

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Shows how to expose a JuliaItemModel as a context attribute in QML using the loadqml function. This makes the model accessible within the QML environment.

```julia
loadqml(qml_file, array_model=array_model)
```

--------------------------------

### Add TestEnv Package

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/docs/src/developer.md

Add the TestEnv package to your global Julia environment. This is a prerequisite for building the documentation locally.

```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.add("TestEnv")
```

--------------------------------

### Julia Callback for Canvas Painting

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

This Julia function prepares a buffer for drawing and then calls another function to perform the actual painting. It reshapes the buffer and reinterprets it for ARGB32 format.

```julia
function paint_circle(buffer::Array{UInt32, 1},
                       width32::Int32,
                       height32::Int32)
  width::Int = width32
  height::Int = height32
  buffer = reshape(buffer, width, height)
  buffer = reinterpret(ARGB32, buffer)
  paint_circle(buffer)
end
```

--------------------------------

### Emit Signal from Julia

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Emit a custom signal defined in QML from Julia code. The signal name and arguments must match the QML definition.

```julia
@emit fizzBuzzFound(i)
```

--------------------------------

### Define and Connect QML Signal

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Define a custom signal within a JuliaSignals block in QML and connect it to a QML handler. Ensure only one JuliaSignals block exists per QML file.

```qml
JuliaSignals {
  signal fizzBuzzFound(int fizzbuzzvalue)
  onFizzBuzzFound: lastFizzBuzz.text = fizzbuzzvalue
}
```

--------------------------------

### Register Julia Functions for QML

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Register Julia functions to be callable from QML using `qmlfunction`. The first argument is the name used in QML, and the second is the Julia function. Alternatively, use the `@qmlfunction` macro for functions in scope.

```julia
my_function() = "Hello from Julia"
my_other_function(a, b) = "Hi from Julia"

qmlfunction("my_function", my_function)
qmlfunction("my_other_function", my_other_function)
```

```julia
@qmlfunction my_function my_other_function
```

--------------------------------

### Adding a Custom Role to JuliaItemModel

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates how to add a custom role named 'myrole' to a JuliaItemModel, specifying a function to access the role's value and an optional function to set it. This is useful when the default string conversion is insufficient.

```julia
julia_array = ["A", 1, 2.2]
myrole(x::AbstractString) = lowercase(x)
myrole(x::Number) = Int(round(x))

array_model = JuliaItemModel(julia_array)
addrole!(array_model, "myrole", myrole, setindex!)
```

--------------------------------

### Set Context Property with QQmlPropertyMap

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Use QQmlPropertyMap to dynamically add properties from Julia to the QML context. Properties can be set using dictionary-like syntax.

```julia
propmap = QML.QQmlPropertyMap()
propmap["a"] = 1
```

--------------------------------

### Julia Function to Paint a Circle

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

This Julia function iterates through a buffer and sets each pixel to red. It takes a buffer as input and determines its dimensions.

```julia
# callback to paint circle
function paint_circle(buffer)
    width, height = size(buffer)
    for x in 1:width
        for y in 1:height
            # paint here..., e.g.
            buffer[x,y] = ARGB32(1, 0, 0, 1) #red
        end
    end
 end
```

--------------------------------

### QML for Observable Properties

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

QML code to display and interact with observable properties. A slider updates the 'input' property, which is then used to compute the 'output' property.

```qml
import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls
import QtQuick.Layouts

ApplicationWindow {
  id: root
  title: "Observables"
  width: 512
  height: 200
  visible: true

  ColumnLayout {
    spacing: 6
    anchors.fill: parent

    Slider {
      value: input
      Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignCenter
      Layout.fillWidth: true
      minimumValue: 0.0
      maximumValue: 100.0
      stepSize: 1.0
      tickmarksEnabled: true
      onValueChanged: {
        input = value;
        output = 2*input;
      }
    }

    Text {
      Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignCenter
      text: output
      font.pixelSize: 0.1*root.height
    }
  }

}
```

--------------------------------

### JuliaDisplay QML Component

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Use JuliaDisplay in QML to render Julia multimedia content, specifically image/png. It fills available width and height and triggers a plot update on dimension changes.

```qml
JuliaDisplay {
  id: jdisp
  Layout.fillWidth: true
  Layout.fillHeight: true
  onHeightChanged: root.do_plot()
  onWidthChanged: root.do_plot()
}
```

--------------------------------

### Query Context Property Value

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Retrieve the value of a context property from Julia using the indexing operator on the QQmlPropertyMap.

```julia
@test propmap["a"] == 1
```

--------------------------------

### Bi-directional Observable Properties

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Enable bi-directional change notification by setting Observables.jl objects in a QQmlPropertyMap. Changes in Julia update QML, and changes in QML update Julia.

```julia
using QML
using Observables

const qml_file = "observable.qml"
const input = Observable(1.0)
const output = Observable(0.0)

on(output) do x
  println("Output changed to ", x)
end

loadqml(qml_file, input=input, output=output)
exec_async() # run from REPL for async execution
```

--------------------------------

### QML Function to Trigger Julia Plotting

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

This QML function calls a Julia plotting routine, passing the JuliaDisplay object along with its dimensions and other parameters.

```qml
function do_plot()
{
  if(jdisp === null)
    return;

  Julia.plotsin(jdisp, jdisp.width, jdisp.height, amplitude.value, frequency.value);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Defining a Composite Type for Fruit Data

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Defines a mutable struct 'Fruit' to encapsulate data for model items, including nested JuliaItemModels for attributes. This structure allows QML to automatically infer and expose roles.

```julia
mutable struct Fruit
  name::String
  cost::Float64
  attributes::JuliaItemModel
end
```

--------------------------------

### JuliaCanvas QML Component

Source: https://github.com/juliagraphics/qml.jl/blob/main/README.md

Use JuliaCanvas in QML to draw on a canvas via a Julia callback function. This component is designed to be flexible with layout constraints.

```qml
JuliaCanvas {
  id: circle_canvas
  paintFunction: paint_cfunction
  Layout.fillWidth: true
  Layout.fillHeight: true
  Layout.minimumWidth: 100
  Layout.minimumHeight: 100
}
```
