Pierwsze kroki w Kirigami

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating your own convergent application using the Kirigami framework. A convergent application, in this context, means people can use the program easily regardless of the device it is running on. If it is on a desktop computer, it will adapt to a large screen and a mouse and keyboard; if it is being used on a mobile device, it will accept input from a touchscreen and adapt to a smaller portrait screen. And so on.

Kirigami jest zbudowane na podstawie języka QML oraz składników Qt Quick Controls 2 dostarczanych przez projekt Qt. QML ma wbudowaną obsługę urządzeń dotykowych, co czyni go doskonałym na aplikacje na urządzenia przenośne. Składniki Qt Quick są graficznymi rzeczami wielokrotnego użytku, które możemy wykorzystywać w interfejsach naszych aplikacji. Kirigami jest zestawem składników Qt Quick stworzonym do tworzenia całościowych aplikacji.

While you will use QML to create the visual part of your application, the business logic—the code that does the heavy lifting for your application's functionality—should be written in a different language. We will also explore how to integrate our business logic with our UI in the tutorials below.

First, you will need to set up a new project in a language of your choice. The introduction will show you how to make a small, but functional Kirigami application.

You will be shown the basics of how to deal with colors and text in your application, and you will get acquainted with most QML components. Next, you will get acquainted with most of the QML components you might want to use and how they look like. This section won't touch any business logic at all, only QML code.

You will get a deep dive into more advanced topics that concern manipulating the data that will be shown in your program.

Lastly, you will be presented with Kirigami Addons, a series of quality-of-life components that you can use to, among other things, design the Settings of your application.
