QML ListModel Example

This repository contains example code demonstrating basic use of a QAbstractListModel bound to a QML ListView.

Environment Setup

Installing Python

You'll need to have a Python interpreter installed (I used Python 3.10, but any current version should work fine). On a Windows PC, I recommend downloading and installing from python.org. On my machine, the interpreter is located at C:\Python310\python.exe, but this may differ for your installation. After installation, note the location of python.exe.

Configuring the Virtual Environment

Using your system's terminal application (in my case, Microsoft's PowerShell), navigate to the directory into which you cloned this repository. Then, create a new virtual environment (replace the path to python.exe based on where it is installed on your machine):

& "C:\Python310\python.exe" -m venv venv

When it completes, there will be a new directory in there called venv. Activate it by running:

.\venv\Scripts\activate

You'll notice that your command prompt is now prefixed with (venv) to indicate that you are in your new Python virtual environment. Now we will install required Python packages in the virtual environment:

pip install -r .\requirements.txt

Running the Application

In order to run the application, you must first activate a properly-configured virtual environment if you haven't already (see above). Then, from the root directory of your cloned repository, run:

python run-sample.py
