A modular Qt library providing essential utilities and functionality to simplify the development of Qt Widget Applications.
The name is inspired by Spacenoids, humans living in space, in the Gundam Universe.
This is a collection of different modules that implement common practices I have re-implemented many times when creating applications.
In an effort to avoid repeating myself, I created this library.
This is QtNoid2, the second iteration of the project, and
the first public release.
-
QtNoidCore This is a simple class to control the library life cycle.
-
QtNoidCommon This is a collection of class (Text, Scale, File) to help on general tasks.
- More modules are in coming soon.
Download latest version of QtNoid2 from the Releases section on GitHub. Unzip the content in a folder on your computer and that's it. If you point find_packages() to that folder using HINTS you can use the library in your project.
If the library is not installed in a system path
but on a custom folder, CMake cannot find it unless
you specify the lib path in the the HINTS parameter
of find_package() command.
Insert the path to QtNoid2 instead of <LIB Path> in
the code example below.
If you are creating a portable project, use a switch
as in the example below:
if(WIN32)
find_package(QtNoidCore QtNoidCommon REQUIRED
HINTS "<LIB Path>/QtNoid2")
elseif(APPLE)
find_package(QtNoidCore QtNoidCommon REQUIRED
HINTS "<LIB Path>/QtNoid2")
endif()
target_link_libraries(BasicUsage PRIVATE
Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::Widgets
QtNoid::QtNoidCore
QtNoid::QtNoidCommon
)Iinclude the convenient header of the library you need:
- QtNoidCore/QtNoidCore
- QtNoidCommon/QtNoidCommon
and so on, and you can access to all class included in the library.
In this example we simply print the library version using Core::buildInfo().
include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QtNoidCore/QtNoidCore>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
qDebug() << QtNoid::Core::buildInfo();
return a.exec();
}
