Feedback needed: QML is this the right way to link other QML Files?

StudentScripter

So my goal was to seperate my .qml files from the Main.qml by creating a subfolder called mymodules/ which contains my other .qml files as a library. But im not sure if my CMakeLists.txt are the most optimal. Can anyone check and give me feeback? <3 Thanks

My structure looks like this:

mymodules CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(mymodules VERSION 1.0 LANGUAGES CXX)

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Quick)

qt_add_library(mymodules STATIC)  # <--- STATIC statt SHARED/PLUGIN

qt_add_qml_module(mymodules
    URI mymodules                 # entspricht: import mymodules 1.0
    VERSION 1.0
    QML_FILES
        Buttons.qml
    RESOURCE_PREFIX /            # wichtig: sonst wird es zur Laufzeit nicht gefunden
)

target_link_libraries(mymodules
    PRIVATE Qt6::Quick
)

Main CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)

project(QmlLibraryTest VERSION 0.1 LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Quick)

qt_standard_project_setup(REQUIRES 6.8)

qt_add_executable(appQmlLibraryTest
    main.cpp
)

qt_add_qml_module(appQmlLibraryTest
    URI QmlLibraryTest
    VERSION 1.0
    QML_FILES
        Main.qml
)




# Qt for iOS sets MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER automatically since Qt 6.1.

#    MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER com.example.appQmlLibraryTest

    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}

main.cpp:

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    QObject::connect
        &engine,
        &QQmlApplicationEngine::objectCreationFailed,
        &app,
        []() { QCoreApplication::exit(-1); },
        Qt::QueuedConnection);
    engine.loadFromModule("QmlLibraryTest", "Main");

    return app.exec();
}

@StudentScripter

why you tagged me, I'm not an expert in QML?
But I would put all qml files in the qt resource system.

@Pl45m4 Thought you'd may have some experience regarding the cmake aspect. :D But nevermind.
