Info
This is a simple example of:
- using the qsqlite (Qt specific SQLite DB) library directly from Lisp
- providing a custom image provider, so we can directly load images in QML from an SQL database
The qsqlite library that comes with Qt has the advantage of being pulled in automatically as a dependency, and behaving exactly the same, no matter what OS is used. This is especially convenient on mobile.
If you run the example with:
$ lqml run.lisp -slime
you can then try to change the image source from the REPL:
(in-package :app)
(q> |source| ui:*logo* "image://db/logo-256")
This will load the image directly from the database.
Run
lqml run.lisp
Optionally pass -slime to start a Swank server, and connect from Emacs with
M-x slime-connect.
During development you can pass -auto, which will reload all QML files after
you made a change to any of them and saved it. For re-initialization after
reloading, file lisp/qml-reload/on-reloaded will be loaded.
Closing the window quits the app. If you try to kill it with ctrl-c, you need
an additional ctrl-d to exit from ECL. To quit from Slime, do (qq) which is
short for (qquit).
