Installation

Setup Manually

• Install build Qt 5.2.0

Now prebuild interpreter for Windows needs mingw4.8 32 bit library.

• Prepare prebuild interpreter.

See: https://github.com/shibukawa/qtwidget.js/releases/

• Install JSX

npm install jsx or sudo npm install -g jsx.

• Comple your code and deploy

You can compile your code with the following command:

jsx --add-search-path qt5.jsx/src --executable node --output yourcode.js youcode.jsx

Compile your code and copy it as qtwidget.app/Content/Resources/js_src/main.js (for mac) or js_src/main.js (for windows).

Executable(qtwidget.app, qtwidget.exe) doesn't include needed dynamic frameworks/libraries. You should have to collect them. See these documents. macdeployqt or windeployqt will help you.

Recommended Process (future)

It recommends create application via jsx-init

$ npm install -g jsx-init
$ jsx-init

It provides template to initialize application of qt.jsx.

After creating template, type the following command. It install all tools to build JSX:

$ npm install

Download runtime binary or build QtWidget runner and put it at the same folder. The following command creates .app file.

$ grunt build

Build Your own Interpreter

See development section.

API Reference

See doc folder and Qt 5.2 document.

Development

Repository

• Runtime: https://github.com/shibukawa/qtwidget.js
• QT Binding Generator: https://github.com/shibukawa/qtscriptgenerator
• Repository: https://github.com/shibukawa/qt5.js
• Issues: https://github.com/shibukawa/qt5.jsx/issues

Checkout qtwidget.js repository and run makebinding.sh or makebinding.bat then you will get JS to Qt binding and JSX to JS binding and document.

To add more class support, you should modify qtwidget/third_party/qtscriptgenerator/generator/typesytem_*.

If you want to add more modules, you should add type system XML files and project files at qtwidget/third_party/qtscriptgenerator/qtbindings.
