Effective QML

on YouTube ↗55m

" summary

Eighteen concrete best practices across four areas: tooling, engine internals, coding patterns and performance. Use the QML profiler and Gammaray, run qmllint in CI, add live QML reload and animation speed shortcuts, and prefer Loader + active/async image to defer work. Understand object ownership and use setObjectOwnership to avoid double deletes; distinguish parent vs parentItem. Keep UI state in C++, avoid C++ accessing QML (one-way: QML calls C++), move heavy JS to C++ and reduce overdraw; enable Qt Quick Compiler for ~10% faster bindings.
