That doesn't look very declarative to me.
Any specific reason all that imperative code and logic has to be done in the
UI?
Looks like buildMessage() is, if at all, the only part that the
ComposePage.qml would be concerned with, all sending being internal to the
application core, no?
I would imagine a QML facing API to look more like this:
class Composer : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QString identity ....)
Q_PROPERTY(ReceiverModel toModel .... CONSTANT)
Q_PROPERTY(ReceiverModel ccModel .... CONSTANT)
Q_PROPERTY(ReceiverModel bccModel ... CONSTANT)
Q_PROPERTY(QString subject ....)
Q_PROPERTY(QString body ....)
Q_PROPERTY(AttachmentModel attachmentModel .... CONSTANT)
public Q_SLOTS:
void send();
void sendLater();
void saveAsDraft();
};
In simple QtQuick that would then be used similar to this:
Composer {
id: composer
subject: subjectInput.text
body: bodyInput.text
}
TexInput {
id: subjectInput
}
TextArea {
id: bodyInput
}
Image {
source: "sendAction.png"
MouseArea {
onClicked: composer.send()
}
}
Cheers,
Kevin
