how to implement QScriptValueIterator?

[TorAn]

I don't understand how to implement QScriptValueIterator. I want to implement a script object that has some properties and also allows for java-style iteration in the script text.

Documentation states:
"If you want to iterate over the properties of a script object, use the QScriptValueIterator class."

My code looks like this:

static void registerWithScript(const char* scriptObjName, QScriptEngine& scriptengine)
	{
		T* t = new T();
		QScriptValue obj = scriptengine.newQObject(t, QScriptEngine::ScriptOwnership);
		scriptengine.setDefaultPrototype(qMetaTypeId<T>(),obj);
 
		QScriptValue ctor = scriptengine.newFunction(objectConst);
		QScriptValue metaObject = scriptengine.newQMetaObject(&QObject::staticMetaObject, ctor);
		scriptengine.globalObject().setProperty(scriptObjName, metaObject);
	}

static void registerWithScript(const char* scriptObjName, QScriptEngine& scriptengine)
	{
		T* t = new T();
		QScriptValue obj = scriptengine.newQObject(t, QScriptEngine::ScriptOwnership);
		scriptengine.setDefaultPrototype(qMetaTypeId<T>(),obj);

		QScriptValue ctor = scriptengine.newFunction(objectConst);
		QScriptValue metaObject = scriptengine.newQMetaObject(&QObject::staticMetaObject, ctor);
		scriptengine.globalObject().setProperty(scriptObjName, metaObject);
	}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Constructor of QScriptValueIterator requires QScriptValue object to be already created.

So, if I modify my code to add

QScriptValueIterator iter (obj);

QScriptValueIterator iter (obj);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

after constructing the obj, the iterator seems to exist outside the scriptengine. Right?
Who implements all these getNext, getPrev etc methods of QScriptValueIterator?

Thanks.

why do you want to implement it? It's already implemented...

I don't undestand how QScriptValueIterator should be used. Exampe:

I have class foo.

class foo : public QObject
{
Q_PROPERTY(int size, READ getsize);
...
private
    std::vector<int> _coll
};

class foo : public QObject
{
Q_PROPERTY(int size, READ getsize);
...
private
    std::vector<int> _coll
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I can expose it to QtScript and then write a javascript function to be evaluated using foo instance

function test()
{
    var myfoo = new foo();
    var icount = myfoo.size;
}

function test()
{
    var myfoo = new foo();
    var icount = myfoo.size;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now I'd like to be able to iterate though the _coll member of foo. I can write custom methods and properties to do so, but there is also QScriptValueIterator in QtScript module. How (if at all) it should be used in this situation?

I'll appreciate code example. Thanks.

_coll isnt a property...

amleto: I know that! ((c) Forrest Gump).

I don't know how to make my question any clearer, but let me try again.

Using the class foo from my previous message: how to expose _coll member of class foo to the scripting environment using QScriptValueIterator?

[amleto]

err... make it a property

[anda_skoa]

QScriptValueIterator is a helper for the C++ side, i.e. to iterate over an QScriptValue instance's properties.

It is not for implementing iterators on the script side.

What you might want to use is qScriptRegisterSequenceMetaType and exposing your container as a propery
