qt

README

Overview

Qt is a cross-platform application framework.

Go (often referred to as golang) is a free and open source programming language created at Google.

This binding aims to make it as simple as possible to write applications for all operating systems supported by Qt in Go.

The project is pretty much a WIP and not recommended to be used in production yet.

However it should already contain everything you need to build fully featured Qt applications in Go.

Installation

Full or stub installation?

The full installation requires at least 8gb free ram and takes 20 min.

The stub installation requires only 1gb free ram and takes 10 min. (experimental)

The only difference between those two version is, that you won't be able to use go run/build to build your applications if you choose to install the stub version. You are therefore limited to the use of qtdeploy to build your application.

To build the stub version export QT_STUB=true system wide and proceed with the installation as usual.

Environmental variables

If you define environmental variables during the installation export them system wide, as they are needed not only during the installation but also later.

Add the environmental variables into your $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.profile on macOS or Linux.

Or if you are on Windows simply use the advanced system settings.

Docker Images (experimental)

You can also use Docker images from hub.docker.

To cross compile to Windows, Linux and Android.

You will still need to install the desktop version for your host system first!

Command line debugging

You can export QT_DEBUG=true before "qtdeploying" your application to enable printing of the current function name at runtime.

  Update your neocomplete.vim

  let g:neocomplete#skip_auto_completion_time = ""
  

Example

1. Create a project folder [GOPATH]/src/qtExample

2. Create a file [GOPATH]/src/qtExample/main.go

package main

import ( "os"

	"github.com/therecipe/qt/core"
	"github.com/therecipe/qt/widgets"

)

func main() { widgets.NewQApplication(len(os.Args), os.Args)

	//create a button and connect the clicked signal
	var button = widgets.NewQPushButton2("Click me!", nil)
	button.ConnectClicked(func(flag bool) {
		widgets.QMessageBox_Information(nil, "OK", "You clicked me!", widgets.QMessageBox__Ok, widgets.QMessageBox__Ok)
	})

	//create a layout and add the button
	var layout = widgets.NewQVBoxLayout()
	layout.AddWidget(button, 0, core.Qt__AlignCenter)

	//create a window, add the layout and show the window
	var window = widgets.NewQMainWindow(nil, 0)
	window.SetWindowTitle("Hello World Example")
	window.SetMinimumSize2(200, 200)
	window.Layout().DestroyQObject()
	window.SetLayout(layout)
	window.Show()

	widgets.QApplication_Exec()

}

3. Open the terminal in `[GOPATH]/src` and run `[GOPATH]/bin/qtdeploy build desktop ./qtExample`

4. You will find the application in `[GOPATH]/src/qtExample/deploy/[GOOS]_minimal/`

5. Take a look at the [examples](https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/internal/examples)

6. Make yourself familiar with the [Qt documentation](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/classes.html)

7. Join our Slack Channel [#qt-binding](https://gophers.slack.com/messages/qt-binding/details/)
