node-qtquick

[WIP] Use Qt Quick from Node.js

• Create Qt Quick app with Node.js, without writing C++
• Access C++ code from JavaScript easily through Qt plugin
• Create lightweight and closer-to-metal desktop app in JavaScript easily

Prerequisites

• Qt
• Node.js

Setup

npm install # maybe fail at building native module but it's okay

Build

node-gyp rebuild --qt_dir=/path/to/qt
# example: node-gyp rebuild --qt_dir=/Users/<username>/Qt/5.9/clang_64

Test

npm test

TODO

• Load Qt object through QPluginLoader
• Invoke method/setter/getter from Node.js through meta object
• Provide API for creating Qt Quick app from Node.js
• Create React custom renderer (maybe React Fiber is helpful)
