13
14 QQmlFinalizerHook is an internal interface to run code after the current toplevel
15 component has been completed.
16 At first, this might look like QQmlParserStaus' componentComplete functionality
17 by another name - however there is a difference. To understand it, consider the
18 following QML file:
19
20 \qml
21 import QtQuick
22 Item {
23 id: root
24 Rectangle {
25 id: rect
26 Rectangle { id: innerRect }
27 }
28 property Item it: Item {id: myItem }
29 }
30 \endqml
31
32 This file will instantiate 4 (sub-)components: One for each of root, rect, innerRect
33 and myItem. If the component gets loaded in a synchronous way, each of their
34 componentComplete (if existent) would run directly one after another (in a non-specified
35 order).
36
37 However, in the case of an asynchronous instantiation, e.g. via a loader, we might interrupt
38 the (sub-)component construction partway: There can be a delay between the various
39 componentComplete calls, and not all sub-components might have been constructed yet.
40 QQmlFinalizerHook::componentFinalized is instead called after all asynchronously instantiated
41 (sub-)components have been constructed. Notably, all bindings of those components have also
42 been set up.
43
44 \note While the engine does not use qobject_cast, tooling still relies on the interface
45 being marked as such. Thus you should always use the Q_INTERFACES macro in classes deriving
46 from QQmlFinalizerHook.
