Qt: KDE support

[ShalokShalom]

So, since Qt support is nearly complete, what is about kf5? :D

Hey

Yeah, I already looked into their modules some time ago and also created an example that made use of Kirigami back then: https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/internal/examples/3rdparty

It should also be possible to fully bind a C++ module, but I hadn't had time for that yet.
Is there some interesting module which I maybe should look into?

[mathieujobin]

would love this as well

I think the translation module is interesting. I read that this helps qt people to automate their translations.
Basically, here is an overview about their Tier 1 frameworks.

Tier 1 means that this works as a Qt extension and without any other KDE frameworks, as you can see.

@therecipe I found this one, is very interesting in my opinion:
https://dot.kde.org/2016/03/30/kde-proudly-presents-kirigami-ui

This useful in order to provide the basement for an integrated style for QML apps, in addition to the other benefits.

I think it's a great candidate for you since it is a Tier 1, which means that it works without any other KDE Framework. It is useful for Qt developers same as for the KDE ones.

And it is now officially part of the KDE Frameworks, since yesterday ;)

@ShalokShalom I will look into the translation module in the next few days.

And I already added an example that shows how to use Kirigami here: https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/internal/examples/3rdparty/kirigami :)

So, you are Marco Martin, who actually implemented the look and feel module with Thomas Pfeiffer? ^-^

[therecipe]

@ShalokShalom Nope, sorry :D I'm not affiliated with KDE or TQtC at all.

So, the KDE support might influence the naming? https://github.com/therecipe/qt/issues/382

Qt might be interested to include your project into their existing infrastructure, so did you ask them already?

You might also want to post about your intentions to create KDE bindings, they are hearty welcome for sure, since Go is the second language with KDE Framework 5 bindings, besides of C++.

All the other languages left us in KDE SC 4.

Thanks a lot for your support :+1:

I'm not sure but probably not, unless there is very good reason.
But I will try to come up with some name in the next few weeks.

Yeah, I was asked already some time ago if I would be interested in upstreaming the project.
But haven't heard from them in a while. I might get into contact with them in the near future though.

Yepp, will do when I start to work on it.
In the near future however, I hope to find some time to cleanup and document the existing code first.
