Probably the most sensible of the variants.
Perhaps also:
property MyItem prop
where MyItem is defined as an Item subtype somewhere.
Somewhat related QML feature: inline components
(https://www.qt.io/blog/new-qml-language-features-in-qt-5.15).
/* In use */
import "Sneed.qbs" as Sneed
Sneed {
feed.hobo : "Hobo"
feed.seed.chuck: "Chuck"
Access into nested items is afaik explicitly not supported in QML as it
breaks encapsulation, but if I understand correctly, your Items are
basically just type-safe JS objects.
Is this important?Yes, insofar as it reduces namespace pollution in a practical
way that is currently impossible.
Playing devil's advocate: Why has no one needed this in QML so far?
Potential Drawbacks:- This does depart a bit from QML syntax rules.
You'd definitely need to adapt the parser (which is currently reused
as-is from QML), as well as the evaluation machinery. Difficult to say
how much work that would be.
