Getting Started

As usual, we will create a simple "Hello World" app :

First create a project directory for your application. If you use Go modules, you can put it wherever you want. If you are not using Go modules yet, you need to put it in your GOPATH, for example in $GOPATH/src/hello-world. After that, create main.go within the directory, then write following codes :

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/go-qamel/qamel"
)

func main() {
	// Create application
	app := qamel.NewApplication(len(os.Args), os.Args)
	app.SetApplicationDisplayName("Qamel Example")

	// Create a QML viewer
	view := qamel.NewViewerWithSource("qrc:/res/main.qml")
	view.SetResizeMode(qamel.SizeRootObjectToView)
	view.SetHeight(300)
	view.SetWidth(400)
	view.Show()

	// Exec app
	app.Exec()
}

Next create res/main.qml within the directory then write following codes :

import QtQuick 2.12

Rectangle {
    color: "cyan"

    Text {
        anchors.fill: parent
        text: "Hello World"
        font.pixelSize: 32
        font.weight: Font.Bold
        verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
    }
}

At this point, your directory should look like this :

path/to/hello-world/
├── main.go
└── res/
    └── main.qml

Once finished, all you need to do is build the app and run it.
