Emitting and handling signals with GoLang and QML respectively.

Nikhilesh N

Greetings. I recently looked up two examples that use Go and QML binding.

https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/internal/examples/sailfish

In these examples, QML ListView is used, and QAbstractListModel is used in native Go. I have not tried running these examples as I still am doing some research before I install Go.
Anyways, I have a doubt regarding emitting and handling signals with these two languages, as stated in the topic title. I want to emit a signal via Go whenever a data is to be sent from the back-end. Is emitting a signal possible? Also if it is emitted, can I handle it with QML just like the way we handle signals caught from C++?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

From the looks of it, that example is using Go bindings for Qt.

So behind the scene, it's using C++.

@SGaist Hi, Samuel. Thanks for your reply. So, it means I can emit signals just like how it's done in C++, right?

I would say yes, likely with some adaptation to the Go language. Like it is done for the Python bindings which syntax is different but functionality is the same.

@SGaist Thank you, Samuel. I will definetely try it out.
