I have this piece of QML code:
Column {
spacing: units.gu(2)
anchors {
fill: parent
centerIn: parent
}
Row {
spacing: units.gu(4)
...
}
Row {
spacing: units.gu(4)
...
}
Row {
spacing: units.gu(4)
...
}
Row {
spacing: units.gu(4)
...
}
}
About best practices of QML programming, how to reuse code to avoid duplicate attributes of common elements? like, in the above example, avoid Rows "spacing: units.gu(4)".
Put your code in a separate qml file, and use that file name as an element. eg.
// File MyCustomRow.qml
Row {
spacing: units.gu(4)
...
}
Then in your other qml file :
Column {
spacing: units.gu(2)
anchors {
fill: parent
centerIn: parent
}
MyCustomRow{
}
MyCustomRow{
}
MyCustomRow{
}
MyCustomRow{
}
}
Infact you could use a repeater :
Column
{
spacing: units.gu(2)
anchors
{
fill: parent
centerIn: parent
}
Repeater
{
model : 5
MyCustomRow
{
}
}
}
Edit :
For doing it in a single file(as asked in the comment) you can use Qml Component element along with Loader element:
Column {
spacing: units.gu(2)
anchors {
fill: parent
centerIn: parent
}
Component
{
id : myCustomRow
Row
{
spacing: units.gu(4)
...
}
}
Loader {
sourceComponent : myCustomRow
}
Loader {
sourceComponent : myCustomRow
}
Loader {
sourceComponent : myCustomRow
}
Loader {
sourceComponent : myCustomRow
}
}
