Client Component Protocol

Client component interaction with the main cavoke application is extremely straightforward.

Let's look into a sample app.qml based on the one from tictactoe game:

import QtQuick 2.0
 
Rectangle {
    // BEGIN cavoke section
    Connections {
        target: cavoke
 
        function onReceiveUpdate(update) {
            console.log("Received: " + update);
        }
    }
    // END cavoke section
    onClicked: {
        cavoke.getMoveFromQml("rectangle-clicked");
    }
}

First of all, add a Connections object to your root object (in this instance Rectangle). Please set your target as cavoke and create a function onReceiveUpdate(str) for receiving signals from the cavoke main application.

Now you can receive and send moves! To receive updates just implement the onReceiveUpdate slot (in this example it just prints it to console). And to send moves just use cavoke.getMoveFromQml(str) function.
