QML CommonJS

Experiment in adding CommonJS module support to QML.

Changelog

Version 0.2

• Fixed compatibility with Qt 5.4+ (see changes below for details).
• CHANGED paths for CommonJS.require calls from QML are now resolved relative to QmlEngine::baseUrl() because evaluating Qt.resolvedUrl('.') no longer works from CPP code for some reason.
• CHANGED evaluated module is now wrapped in an IIFE to avoid weird problem where function with a name same a property on a global object (e.g. hasOwnProperty) would result in an error.

Version 0.1

• Full modules support
• assert module
• setTimeout / clearTimeout / setInterval / clearInterval
• experimental support for util, events, path, url and querystring modules.

When accessing top-level functions (like setTimeout) from QML, you have to use CommonJS. prefix because Qt doesn't allow defining global functions.

Installation

• Make sure you have Qt 5.4+ installed.
• Clone this repository.
• Then run qmake && make && make install

Usage

After that you should be able to just import CommonJS as regular QML library and use it in your code:

import CommonJS 0.2
import QtQuick 2.0

Rectangle {
    Component.onCompleted: {
        CommonJS.setTimeout(function(){
        	// built-in module
            var example = CommonJS.require('path');
        	// relative to QML base url
            var example = CommonJS.require('./example.js');
        	// relative to this file
            var example = CommonJS.require(Qt.resolvedUrl('./example.js'));
        });
    }
}
