The Qt 6 Book - A book about QML

Qt6 Book

Copyright(C) 2012-2021 Johan Thelin and Jürgen Bocklage-Ryannel

The new home for the Qt6 book (based on QmlBook)

You can always find the latest released version of the book built at https://www.qt.io/product/qt6/qml-book, and the latest snapshot at https://distracted-dijkstra-f5d508.netlify.app/.

1. Building the Book Locally

The contents is built into a static site using VuePress. The packages are managed using Yarn.

To build the contents locally, run:

$ yarn
$ yarn run docs:dev

Then visit localhost:8080 to view the book.

To build the examples, run:

$ yarn run examples:build

This will create the _examples/ directory with the build. It assumes Qt6 can be found by CMake. My typical command line on a Debian Linux machine looks like this:

$ CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt/6.2.0/gcc_64/lib/cmake/ yarn run examples:build

Subsequent calls do not need CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to be specified.

2. Building for Release

To build for release, first build the docs, then package the examples into a tar-ball:

$ yarn run docs:build
$ yarn run examples:package

This creates examples.tar.gz in your package root, as well as where VuePress places the output, i.e. docs/.vuepress/dist/.

Notice that the examples:package command assumes that the VuePress dist/ directory exists.

3. For Reviewers

Pick chapters to review from the Project Board. Also look for issues tagged as Questions in the project.

Reviews are welcome both as issues, or as pull requests. Pick the approach that is the easiest for you!

4. For Authors

Chapters are outlined in docs/.vuepress/config.js. Please tag chapters as Qt5, Qt6 Draft, and Qt 6 respectively.
