Custom Qt Creator Wizards

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

A new JSON-based wizard framework replaces most C++ wizards in Qt Creator (introduced in 3.3) and uses JSON pages + template generators to create files; script generators are not yet implemented. The implementation can reuse pages from plugins, supports macro and JS replacements, and the author removed ~60,000 lines of old code. Debugging and hot-reload require Qt Creator 3.5 and configurable C++-backed widgets arrive in Qt Creator 3.6.
