Qt framework for building graphql driven QML applications

Qt framework for building graphql driven QML applications

Disclaimer

This project is currently under development, and it is not production ready, You can play-around and tell us what is wrong / missing / awesome :smile:.

Features

Codegen (introspection compiler)

• object types, for each field there is a corresponding Property
• enums
• custom scalars

Runtime

• "Qt-native" graphql-transport-ws network manager (supports subscriptions).

Helpers

• generic models that get created from dictionaries (with update, pop, insert implemented by default)
• Property classes that are accessible from QML, with dataclasses syntax (using attrs)
• @slot - decorator to be replaced with QtCore.Slot() that get types from type hints.

Future vision

• Code generation from schema inspection Ideally every graphql type would be a QObject with Property for each field.
• possibly generate C++ bindings from schema inspection
• Query only what defined by the user (similar to how relay does this)
• Auto mutations
• Subscriptions

"Just build a web based UI"

Qt-QML IMO is a big game changer

• you get native performance
• UI code is very clear and declarative
• Easy to customize
• Easy to learn

One of the big disadvantages in Qt-QML is that Qt-C++ API is very repetitive and hard to maintain for data-driven applications.

although it is tempting to just use relay or other JS graphql lib there is a point where you would suffer from performance issues (react-native).
