What You'll Learn

• Building ListModel and ListView components to display and manage dynamic list-based data in Qt Quick.

• Creating TableModel and TableView layouts for structured, tabular data presentation.

• Implementing TreeView hierarchies to represent nested, parent-child data relationships.

• Using ObjectModel to manage and display pre-defined QML objects within views.

Getting Started

In this course, you will explore the core model-view patterns in QML, including list models, table models, tree views, and object models. You'll learn how to build dynamic, data-driven user interfaces using Qt Quick's powerful model-view architecture.

The repository contains reference projects for each video section:

Folder	Description
QMLModelsViews_Section_2_to_5	ListModel/ListView example in Qt Quick
QMLModelsViews_Section_6_to_8	TableModel/TableView example in Qt Quick
QMLModelsViews_Section9	TreeView example in Qt Quick
QMLModelsViews_Section10	ObjectModel example in Qt Quick

Note: The projects are not required to complete the course, but are provided as a reference to help you understand the concepts discussed.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, you should be familiar with Qt Quick fundamentals. Consider first exploring the full Creating Qt Quick User Interfaces learning path on Qt Academy, which provides the foundational knowledge needed to get the most from this course.

Instructions

To get started with this project, you will need to have Qt (6.5 or later) and an IDE (e.g., Qt Creator) installed on your computer. You can download Qt and Qt Creator from the Qt.io website.

Once you have Qt and an IDE installed, head over to Qt Academy and follow along with the course videos.

To run any project in Qt Creator:

1. Navigate to the project folder
2. Open the CMakeLists.txt file
3. Build and run the project

The application will launch and display a window demonstrating the model-view concepts covered in each section.
