Common import for all qml files

[volcano]

Hi all,

First.qml

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Second.qml

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I have a lot of qml files and each file has different imports. Is it possible to have them in one location/file and import that location/file in all the qml files?

No, since there is no include mechanism that works like a code replacement preprocessor.

One could potentially implement something like that using the QQmlEngine's URL interceptor facility or generate combined files during the application's build step.

Hi anda_skoa,

Could you provide a example of how to use QQmlEngine's URL interceptor facility?

Kindly advice

[anda_skoa]

You derive from https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtdeclara...UrlInterceptor and then set it on the QQmlEngine object https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtdeclara...UrlInterceptor

All URLs used by the engine, QML files, images, JavaScript file, pass through the interceptor.

You could use this to get the actually requested file, generate a new file that has the common imports and the rest of the original file and then return the URL to this file.

Cheers,
