OP doesn't want to restore the previous value, but keep the last "valid"
value. The behavior of `text: fooObject?.title ?? text` is fine for them.
The question is about making it a bit less hacky since that line doesn't
look trustworthy.
Binding {

While the above lacks the `restoreMode: Binding.RestoreNone` already
mentioned by Fabian, it will also trigger some warnings when fooObject is
null. The `fooObject.title` expression, although not applied, will be
evaluated even though `when` is false so this needs to be checked for.
`fooObject?.title ?? ""`
So the correct solution would be
Binding {
textObject.text: fooObject?.title ?? ""
when: fooObject
restoreMode: Binding.RestoreNone
}
or
Binding on text {
value: fooObject?.title ?? ""
when: fooObject
restoreMode: Binding.RestoreNone
}
If we want to follow the route suggested by Giuseppe, we could write a new
"NoUndefinedBinding" type like the following:
import QtQml
Binding {
property var val // we need a new property because value has no NOTIFY
signal :(
when: typeof val !== "undefined"
value: val
restoreMode: Binding.RestoreNone
}
Usage:
Text {
NoUndefinedBinding on text { val: fooObject?.title }
}
But is that really better than the initial `text: fooObject?.title ?? text`
??
