Requirement

Qt >= 5.3

Building

• Clone
• Run qmake && make && make install

The compiled plugin (libqtknobsplugin.so on .nix systems) would be in directory imports/QtKnobs with file qmldir.

Use

If you make install then you need not do anything. But just in case if you want it to be included in your application then:

• Copy directory imports to your project location
• To make the engine to search for this module, add the path where the imports directory is using addImportPath.
  For eg. If the directory imports is at location /home/ashish/KnobsTest then,

QQuickView view;
view.engine()->addImportPath("/home/ashish/KnobsTest/imports");
view.show();

• Additionally, to make QtCreator aware of it (and to get rid of the annoying QML module not found during import) add the path in .pro file,

QML_IMPORT_PATH = /home/ashish/KnobsTest/imports

Examples

• A simple Knob:

  import QtQuick 2.0
  import QtKnobs 1.0
  Knob {
    value: 25
  }
