# Status QML
|
||||
|
||||
> An emerging reusable UI component library for Status applications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
StatusQ introduces a module namespace that semantically groups components so they can be easily imported.
|
||||
These modules are:
|
||||
|
||||
- [StatusQ.Core](https://github.com/status-im/StatusQ/blob/master/src/StatusQ/Core/qmldir)
|
||||
- [StatusQ.Core.Theme](https://github.com/status-im/StatusQ/blob/master/src/StatusQ/Core/Theme/qmldir)
|
||||
|
||||
Provided components can be viewed and tested in the [sandbox application](#viewing-and-testing-components) that comes with this repository.
|
||||
Other than that, modules and components can be used as expected.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
import Status.Core 0.1
|
||||
import Status.Controls 0.1
|
||||
|
||||
StatusInput {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Viewing and testing components
|
||||
|
||||
To make viewing and testing components easy, we've added a sandbox application to this repository in which StatusQ components are being build. This is the first place where components see the light of the world and can be run in a proper application environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Qt Creator
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to run the sandbox application is to simply open the provided `sandbox.pro` file using Qt Creator.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using command line interface
|
||||
|
||||
To run the sandbox from within a command line interface, run the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/status-im/StatusQ
|
||||
$ cd StatusQ/sandbox
|
||||
$ qmake sandbox.pro -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=x86_64 && /usr/bin/make qmake_all
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once that is done, the sandbox can be started with the generated executable:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ./bin
|
||||
```
|
||||
