Custom Components - Video

Welcome to the fourth module of our "Introduction to Qt / QML" series! In this module we will explore components: that is, how to reuse QML code by encapsulating it in a separate piece that we can then create as many times as needed.

In this video, we will show the basics of creating an "out-of-line" component: a component defined in a separate QML file. This is so easy it's almost magical.

The hard part comes later: how do we define a proper API for our components, so that we can use them effectively? This involves defining properties, methods, signals, slots on our components. We are going to discuss properties in this video, and the rest in the next video of this module.

The example code showcased in this video is available here: https://github.com/KDAB/kdabtv
