/*!
  \macro QML_ELEMENT
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  Declares the enclosing type or namespace to be available in QML, using its
  class or namespace name as the QML element name.

  For example, this makes the C++ class \c Slider available as a QML type
  named \c Slider. All its properties, invokable methods and enums are exposed.

  \code
  class Slider : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT
      QML_ELEMENT
      Q_PROPERTY(int value READ value WRITE setValue NOTIFY valueChanged FINAL)
      // ...
  public:
      enum Slippiness {
          Dry, Wet, Icy
      };
      Q_ENUM(Slippiness)

      Q_INVOKABLE void slide(Slippiness slippiness);

      // ...
  }
  \endcode

  You can use the build system to register the type in the type namespace
  \e {com.mycompany.qmlcomponents} with major version \c 1.
  For qmake, specify the following in your project file:

  \badcode
  CONFIG += qmltypes
  QML_IMPORT_NAME = com.mycompany.qmlcomponents
  QML_IMPORT_MAJOR_VERSION = 1
  \endcode

  With CMake, you pass the URI and version to qt_add_qml_module

  \badcode
  qt6_add_qml_module(myapp
    URI com.mycompany.qmlcomponents
    VERSION 1.0
  )
  \endcode

  Once registered, the type can be used in QML by importing the
  same type namespace and version number:

  \qml
  import com.mycompany.qmlcomponents 1.0

  Slider {
      value: 12
      Component.onCompleted: slide(Slider.Icy)

      // ...
  }
  \endqml

  You can also make namespaces tagged with Q_NAMESPACE available this way, in
  order to expose any enums tagged with Q_ENUM_NS they contain:

  \code
  namespace MyNamespace {
    Q_NAMESPACE
    QML_ELEMENT

    enum MyEnum {
        Key1,
        Key2,
    };
    Q_ENUM_NS(MyEnum)
  }
  \endcode

  In QML, you can then use the enums:

  \qml
  Component.onCompleted: console.log(MyNamespace.Key2)
  \endqml

  \b{NOTE:} When classes have the same name but are located in different namespaces using
  \l QML_ELEMENT on both of them will cause a conflict.
  Make sure to use \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() for one of them instead.

  \include {qualified-class-name.qdocinc} {class name must be qualified}

/*!
  \macro QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(name)
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  Declares the enclosing type or namespace to be available in QML, using \a name
  as the element name. Otherwise behaves the same as QML_ELEMENT.

  \code
  class SqlEventDatabase : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT
      QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(EventDatabase)

      // ...
  };
  \endcode

*/

/*!
  \macro QML_ANONYMOUS
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  Declares the enclosing type to be available, but anonymous in QML. The type
  cannot be created or used to declare properties in QML, but when passed from
  C++, it is recognized. In QML, you can use properties of this type if they
  are declared in C++.

  \sa QML_ELEMENT, QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(), QML_UNCREATABLE(), QML_INTERFACE
*/

/*!
  \macro QML_INTERFACE
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  This macro registers the enclosing C++ type in the QML system as an interface.

  Types registered as an interface in QML should also declare themselves as an
  interface with the \l {The Meta-Object System}{meta object system}. For
  example:

  \code
  struct FooInterface
  {
      QML_INTERFACE
  public:
      virtual ~FooInterface();
      virtual void doSomething() = 0;
  };

  Q_DECLARE_INTERFACE(FooInterface, "org.foo.FooInterface")
  \endcode

  When registered with QML in this way, they can be used as property types:

  Q_PROPERTY(FooInterface *foo READ foo WRITE setFoo)

  When you assign a \l QObject sub-class to this property, the QML engine does
  the interface cast to \c FooInterface* automatically.

  Interface types are implicitly anonymous and uncreatable in QML.

  \b{NOTE:} When inheriting from types using QML_INTERFACE, use \l QML_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACES
  instead of \l Q_INTERFACES.

  \sa  QML_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACES(), QML_ELEMENT, QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(), QML_UNCREATABLE(), QML_ANONYMOUS
*/

/*!
  \macro QML_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACES(interfaces)
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  This macro tells Qt which QML \a interfaces the class implements.
  This macro should only be used for interfacing with classes using \l QML_INTERFACE, use \l Q_INTERFACES otherwise.
  It's required in order for declarative registration via \l QML_ELEMENT to
  function properly.

  \sa QML_INTERFACE, Q_INTERFACES
*/

/*!
  \macro QML_UNCREATABLE(reason)
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  Declares that the enclosing type shall not be creatable from QML. This takes
  effect if the type is available in QML, by having a \l QML_ELEMENT or
  \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() macro. The \a reason will be emitted as error message if an
  attempt to create the type from QML is detected.

  Some QML types are implicitly uncreatable, in particular types exposed with
  \l QML_ANONYMOUS or namespaces exposed with \l QML_ELEMENT or
  \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT().

  Since Qt 6.0 you can use "" instead of a reason to use a standard message
  instead.

  \sa QML_ELEMENT, QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(), QML_ANONYMOUS
*/

/*!
  \macro QML_SINGLETON
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  Declares the enclosing type to be a singleton in QML. This only takes effect
  if the type is a \l Q_OBJECT and is available in QML (by having a
  \l QML_ELEMENT or \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() macro). By default, each QQmlEngine
  will try to create a singleton instance using either the type's default
  constructor or a static factory function of the signature
  \c{T *create(QQmlEngine *, QJSEngine *)} when the type is first accessed.
  If both do exist and are accessible, the default constructor is preferred.
  If there is no default constructor and no factory function the singleton is
  inaccessible. The QML engine generally assumes ownership of the singleton and
  will delete it when the engine itself is destroyed. You can prevent this by
  calling QJSEngine::setObjectOwnership() on the singleton.

  In order to declare a default-constructible class as singleton, all you have
  to do is add \l QML_SINGLETON:

  \code
  class MySingleton : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT
      QML_ELEMENT
      QML_SINGLETON
      // Q_PROPERTY( ... )
  public:
      // members, Q_INVOKABLE functions, etc.
  };
  \endcode

  If the singleton class is not default-constructible, but you can modify it,
  you can add a factory function to it, in order to make it accessible:

  \code
  class MySingleton : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT
      QML_ELEMENT
      QML_SINGLETON
      // Q_PROPERTY( ... )

  public:
      static MySingleton *create(QQmlEngine *qmlEngine, QJSEngine *jsEngine)
      {
          MySingleton *result = nullptr;
          // Create the object using some custom constructor or factory.
          // The QML engine will assume ownership and delete it, eventually.
          return result;
      }

      // members, Q_INVOKABLE functions, etc
  };
  \endcode

  If you cannot modify the class and it does not have a default constructor or a
  suitable factory function, you can provide a \l QML_FOREIGN wrapper to define
  the factory function:

  \code
  struct SingletonForeign
  {
      Q_GADGET
      QML_FOREIGN(MySingleton)
      QML_SINGLETON
      QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(MySingleton)
  public:

      static MySingleton *create(QQmlEngine *, QJSEngine *engine)
      {
          MySingleton *result = nullptr;
          // Create the instance using some custom constructor or factory.
          // The QML engine will assume ownership and delete it, eventually.
          return result;
      }
  };
  \endcode

  Finally, if you want to provide one specific singleton object, the creation of
  which you cannot control, you can return that from a factory function. This is
  a replacement for the \l qmlRegisterSingletonInstance function.
  If you were calling

  \code
  qmlRegisterSingletonInstance("MyModule", 1, 0, "MySingleton", myObject);
  \endcode

  with myObject being of type \c{MySingleton *}, you can do the following
  instead:

  \code
  struct SingletonForeign
  {
      Q_GADGET
      QML_FOREIGN(MySingleton)
      QML_SINGLETON
      QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(MySingleton)
  public:

      // Initialize this using myObject where you would previously
      // call qmlRegisterSingletonInstance().
      inline static MySingleton *s_singletonInstance = nullptr;

      static MySingleton *create(QQmlEngine *, QJSEngine *engine)
      {
          // The instance has to exist before it is used. We cannot replace it.
          Q_ASSERT(s_singletonInstance);

          // The engine has to have the same thread affinity as the singleton.
          Q_ASSERT(engine->thread() == s_singletonInstance->thread());

          // There can only be one engine accessing the singleton.
          if (s_engine)
              Q_ASSERT(engine == s_engine);
          else
              s_engine = engine;

          // Explicitly specify C++ ownership so that the engine doesn't delete
          // the instance.
          QJSEngine::setObjectOwnership(s_singletonInstance,
                                        QJSEngine::CppOwnership);
          return s_singletonInstance;
      }

  private:
      inline static QJSEngine *s_engine = nullptr;
  };
  \endcode

  This way, the pre-existing class \c MySingleton is declared to be a QML
  singleton, called \c MySingleton. You can specify an instance for it any time
  before it is used by setting the \c s_singletonInstance member. None of this
  requires modification of \c MySingleton itself.

  \note This pattern doesn't work if either the singleton is accessed by
  multiple QML engines, or if the QML engine accessing it has a different thread
  affinity than the singleton object itself. As shown above, you can check the
  parameters to the \c create() method for identity and thread affinity of the
  engine in order to assert on that.

  Declare that the type should also be available in version \a{MAJOR}.\a{MINOR}.
  This can be helpful if a type should be available in multiple major versions.

  Types are automatically registered for:

  provide further enumerations in QML. This takes effect if the type
  is exposed to QML using a \l QML_ELEMENT or \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() macro.
  The enumerations need to be exposed to the metaobject system for this to work.

  For example, give the following C++ code

  \macro QML_NAMESPACE_EXTENDED(EXTENSION_NAMESPACE)

  Behaves the same way as \l QML_EXTENDED_NAMESPACE with the distinction that what is being
  extended is a namespace and not a type.

  Declares that the enclosing \b namespace uses \a EXTENSION_NAMESPACE as an extension to
  provide further enumerations in QML. This takes effect if the extended namespace is exposed to
  QML using a \l QML_ELEMENT or \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() macro. The enumerations need to be exposed
  to the metaobject system for this to work.

  For example, in the following C++ code,
  \code
  namespace NS2 {
      Q_NAMESPACE

      enum class E2 { D = 3, E, F };
      Q_ENUM_NS(E2)

      // Extends NS1 with NS2

  \l QML_EXTENDED(), \l QML_EXTENDED_NAMESPACE(), or \l QML_NAMESPACE_EXTENDED()
  macros in the enclosing C++ type do not apply to the enclosing type but
  instead to \a FOREIGN_TYPE. The enclosing type still needs to be registered

/*!
  \macro QML_UNAVAILABLE
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  This macro declares the enclosing type to be unavailable in QML. It registers
  an internal dummy type called \c QQmlTypeNotAvailable as \l QML_FOREIGN()
  type, using any further QML macros you specify.

  Normally, the types exported by a module should be fixed. However, if a C++
  type is not available, you should at least "reserve" the QML type name, and
  give the user of the unavailable type a meaningful error message.

  Example:

  \code
  #ifdef NO_GAMES_ALLOWED
  struct MinehuntGame
  {
      Q_GADGET
      QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(Game)
      QML_UNAVAILABLE
      QML_UNCREATABLE("Get back to work, slacker!");
  };
  #else
  class MinehuntGame : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT
      QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(Game)
      // ...
  };
  #endif
  \endcode

  This will cause any QML which attempts to use the "Game" type to produce an
  error message:

  \badcode
  fun.qml: Get back to work, slacker!
     Game {
     ^
  \endcode

  Using this technique, you only need a \l Q_GADGET struct to customize the error
  message, not a full-blown \l QObject. Without \l QML_UNCREATABLE(),
  \l QML_UNAVAILABLE still results in a more specific error message than the usual
  "is not a type" for completely unknown types.

/*!
  \macro QML_SEQUENTIAL_CONTAINER(VALUE_TYPE)
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  This macro declares the enclosing or referenced type as a sequential container
  managing a sequence of \a VALUE_TYPE elements. \a VALUE_TYPE can be an actual
  \l{QML Value Types}{value type} or a pointer to an
  \l{QML Object Types}{object type}. You will rarely be able to add this macro
  to the actual container declaration since containers are usually templates.
  You should use \l{QML_FOREIGN} to attach the type registration to a template
  instantiation. Using this technique you can, for example, declare sequential
  containers like this:

  \code
  class IntDequeRegistration
  {
    Q_GADGET
    QML_FOREIGN(std::deque<int>)
    QML_ANONYMOUS
    QML_SEQUENTIAL_CONTAINER(int)
  };

  After this, you can use the container like a JavaScript array in QML.

  \note For \l{QML Value Types} \l{QList} is automatically registered as
  sequential container. For \l{QML Object Types} \l{QQmlListProperty} is.
  You don't have to add these registrations.

  \note You cannot currently give the container a custom name. Any argument
  passed to \l{QML_NAMED_ELEMENT} is ignored. The automatically registered
  sequential containers are available under the familiar \e{list<...>} names,
  for example \e{list<QtObject>} or \e{list<font>}.

  Declares the enclosing type or namespace to be available in QML, using \a name
  as the name. The type has to be a value type and the name has to be lower case.

      Q_GADGET
      QML_VALUE_TYPE(myValueType)

      // ...
  };

  Marks the surrounding value type as constructible. That is, any \l Q_INVOKABLE
  constructors of the type that take exactly one argument can be used when
  assigning a JavaScript value to a property of this type.

  You can declare a constructible value type as follows:

  \code
  class MyValueType
  {
      Q_GADGET
      QML_VALUE_TYPE(myValueType)
      QML_CONSTRUCTIBLE_VALUE
  public:
      Q_INVOKABLE MyValueType(double d);

      // ...
  };
  \endcode

  With the above type, the following QML code will produce a \c MyValueType
  value using the given constructor and assign it to the property.

  \qml
  QtObject {
      property myValueType v: 5.4
  }
  \endqml

  You can also construct lists of values this way:

  \qml
  QtObject {
      property list<myValueType> v: [5.4, 4.5, 3.3]
  }
  \endqml

  Since Qt 6.8, if you import the QML module the value type belongs to into a
  namespace, you can use JavaScript's \c new operator to instantiate it.

  \qml
  import MyModule as MM

  QtObject {
      function process(d: real) {
          let v = new MM.myValueType(d);
          // v is a myValueType now
      }
  }
  \endqml

  \sa QML_VALUE_TYPE
*/

/*!
  \macro QML_STRUCTURED_VALUE
  \since 6.5
  \relates <qqmlintegration.h>

  Marks the surrounding value type as structured. Structured value types can
  and will preferably be constructed property-by-property from a JavaScript
  object. A structured value type, however is always \l QML_CONSTRUCTIBLE_VALUE,
  too. This means, you can still provide \l Q_INVOKABLE constructors in order to
  handle construction from primitive types.

  You can declare a structured value type as follows:

  \code
  class MyValueType
  {
      Q_GADGET
      QML_VALUE_TYPE(myValueType)
      QML_STRUCTURED_VALUE
      Q_PROPERTY(double d READ d WRITE setD)
      Q_PROPERTY(string e READ e WRITE setE)

      // ...
  };
  \endcode

  Then you can populate a property of this type as follows:

  \qml
  QtObject {
      property myValueType v: ({d: 4.4, e: "a string"})
  }
  \endqml

  The extra parentheses are necessary to disambiguate the JavaScript object
  from what might be interpreted as a JavaScript code block.

  You can also construct lists of values this way:

  \qml
  QtObject {
      property list<myValueType> v: [
          {d: 4.4, e: "a string"},
          {d: 7.1, e: "another string"}
      ]
  }
  \endqml
