View source for QmlWeb/Qml.js/Workflow

This site describes the workflow we have in mind for a developer using QmlWeb.

{{Warning|The Qml.js Compiler is in a very early state — this site collects ideas and all of it might change completely.}} 

''As an example, we use cmake as build system and git as version control system, but the workflow would be the same for every build system and vcs you use.''

'''Setup: You have a checkout of your code locally available. You develop and test locally. Moreover, you have an http-webspace connected via nfs, ftp, sftp or similar as your production system. You don't have rights, to install software on the server.'''

You need:
* The Qml.js Compiler installed on your local computer
* A webserver running on your local computer

Your worklow:
* Write your code
* Create a CMakeLists.txt
* Create and enter a build/ directory
* Call cmake .. (maybe containing info like -DCMAKE_INSTALL_DIR or -DQMLWEB_UPLOAD_URL — if not already in the CMakeLists.txt)
* Call make
* Test locally
* Edit
* Call make
* Test again
* When done, call make install

'''Setup: You have a checkout of your code locally available. You develop and test locally. Moreover, you have a root server available as your production system. You want the code to be compiled on the fly on the server.'''

You need:
* The Qml.js Compiler installed on your local computer
* A webserver running on your local computer
* The Qml.js Compiler installed on the server
* A Git hook to recognize code updates
* The hook needs to
** create and enter a clean build dir
** call cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_DIR=/srv/somewhere ..
** make
** make install

Your workflow:
* Write your code
* Create a CMakeLists.txt
* Create and enter a build/ directory for local testing
* Call cmake ..
* Call make
* Test locally
* Edit
* Call make
* Test again
* When done, call git push
