Creating a new javascript object in QML

Question

I'm trying to create a new javascript object in QML.

In javascript I would simply:

var newObject = new Object();

but this is flagged as an error by QtCreator

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

You don't need new. You can just create an empty JS Object like this in a script part (e.g. signal handler, function etc.)

var newObject = {} // In a script.

or as a property:

property var someObject: ({}) // You need to wrap it in paranthesis

If you insist on the new-keyword

var someOtherObject = new Object // In a script

seems to be working, too.
