Welcome to November's basket of delights

We continue with our longwinded titles and offer you KDE Frameworks - Part 2: Extra CMake Modules - Enhancing your CMake code, followed by VS Code for Qt Applications - Part 3: A Few Tips and Tricks to Further Integrate Qt into Visual Studio Code. 

 

We also introduce KDBindings - a new library in C++, and we bring you a whole lot of new videos including a Braumeister showcase and a new series on Profiling and Debugging. Finally, we bring you Events with exciting news about 2022.   

 

Before we begin, though, to all our pals in the KDE Community - an international team developing and distributing Open Source software - a belated:

Happy 25th Birthday, KDE!

KDE Frameworks - Part 2: Extra CMake Modules

Enhancing your CMake code
­
­
­
­
­

by Nicolas Fella
­

In Part 1 of this series, Nicolas introduced us to KConfig, for Storing and Fetching Configuration Data. 

 

In this blog, he focuses on CMake, a framework adopted by the KDE Community some 15 years ago, and increasingly becoming the de-facto build system for C++ projects.

 

Over time, the KDE community has accumulated quite an arsenal of implemented solutions for recurring problems in CMake. These solutions are available for everyone in the extra-cmake-modules framework, or ECM for short.

VS Code for Qt Applications - Part 3

A few Tips and Tricks to further integrate Qt into Visual Studio Code
­
­
­
­
­

by Alessandro Ambrosano

 

In part 2 of this blog series, we walked through how to get a complete setup for your qmake and CMake projects, with a deeper look at the Qt side. . .

 

In this post, we will see how to:

  • Enable syntax highlighting for Qt specific files
  • Quickly switch to Qt Creator for editing .qrc and .ui files
  • Work on single QML files by previewing them through qmlscene
  • Inspect your application with GammaRay
  • Generate profile data for your QML application.

 

Read the blog.

KDBindings

Reactive programming & data binding in C++
­
­
­
­

KDAB has released KDBindings. KDBindings is a stand-alone "header-only" library using C++ 17 to give you Signals + Slots, Properties, Data bindings and much more.

 

KDBindings gives you property bindings that won't break and allows you to write reactive code without having to do all the low-level, error prone plumbing by hand.

 

KDBindings requires a C++ compiler with C++17 support. It can be used with or without Qt.
