  \macro QML_ELEMENT
  \relates QQmlEngine

  Declares the enclosing type or namespace to be available in QML, using its
  class or namespace name as the QML element name.

  For example, this makes the C++ class \c Slider available as a QML type
  named \c Slider.

  \code
  class Slider : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT
      QML_ELEMENT
      ...
  }
  \endcode

  You can use the build system to register the type in the type namespace
  \e {com.mycompany.qmlcomponents} with major version \c 1 by specifying the
  following in your project file:

  \badcode
  CONFIG += qmltypes
  QML_IMPORT_NAME = com.mycompany.qmlcomponents
  QML_IMPORT_MAJOR_VERSION = 1
  \endcode

  Once registered, the type can be used in QML by importing the
  same type namespace and version number:

  \qml
  import com.mycompany.qmlcomponents 1.0

  Slider {
      // ...
  }
  \endqml

  You can also make namespaces tagged with Q_NAMESPACE available this way, in
  order to expose any enums tagged with Q_ENUM_NS they contain.

  \macro QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(name)
  \relates QQmlEngine

  Declares the enclosing type or namespace to be available in QML, using \a name
  as the element name. Otherwise behaves the same as QML_ELEMENT.

  \code
  class SqlEventDatabase : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT

/*!
  \macro QML_ANONYMOUS

  Declares the enclosing type to be available, but anonymous in QML. The type
  cannot be created or used as property type, but when passed from C++, it is
  recognized.

  \sa QML_ELEMENT, QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(), QML_UNCREATABLE(), QML_INTERFACE
*/

/*!
  \macro QML_INTERFACE
  \relates QQmlEngine

  This macro registers the enclosing C++ type in the QML system as an interface.

  Types registered as an interface in QML should also declare themselves as an
  interface with the \l {The Meta-Object System}{meta object system}. For
  example:

  \code
  struct FooInterface
  {
      QML_INTERFACE
  public:
      virtual ~FooInterface();
      virtual void doSomething() = 0;
  };

  Q_DECLARE_INTERFACE(FooInterface, "org.foo.FooInterface")
  \endcode

  When registered with QML in this way, they can be used as property types:

  Q_PROPERTY(FooInterface *foo READ foo WRITE setFoo)

  When you assign a \l QObject sub-class to this property, the QML engine does
  the interface cast to \c FooInterface* automatically.

  Interface types are implicitly anonymous and uncreatable in QML.

  \b{NOTE:} When inheriting from types using QML_INTERFACE, use \l QML_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACES
  instead of \l Q_INTERFACES.

/*!
  \macro QML_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACES(interfaces)

  This macro tells Qt which QML \a interfaces the class implements.
  This macro should only be used for interfacing with classes using \l QML_INTERFACE, use \l Q_INTERFACES otherwise.
  It's required in order for declarative registration via \l QML_ELEMENT to function properly.

/*!
  \macro QML_UNCREATABLE(reason)

  Declares that the enclosing type shall not be creatable from QML. This takes
  effect if the type is available in QML, by having a \l QML_ELEMENT or
  \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() macro. The \a reason will be emitted as error message if an
  attempt to create the type from QML is detected.

  Some QML types are implicitly uncreatable, in particular types exposed with
  \l QML_ANONYMOUS or namespaces exposed with \l QML_ELEMENT or
  \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(). For such types, \l QML_UNCREATABLE() can be used to
  provide a custom error message.

  Since Qt 6.0 you can use "" instead of a reason to use a standard message instead.

/*!
  \macro QML_SINGLETON
  \relates QQmlEngine

  Declares the enclosing type to be a singleton in QML. This only takes effect
  if the type is a \l Q_OBJECT and is available in QML (by having a
  \l QML_ELEMENT or \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() macro). By default, each QQmlEngine
  will try to create a singleton instance using either the type's default
  constructor or a static factory function of the signature
  \c{T *create(QQmlEngine *, QJSEngine *)} when the type is first accessed. If
  both do exist and are accessible, the default constructor is preferred. If
  there is no default constructor and no factory function the singleton is
  initially inaccessible. This behavior can be overridden by calling
  \l qmlRegisterSingletonType() with a specific (external) factory function or
  \l qmlRegisterSingletonInstance() with a specific instance for the same class
  and the same type namespace and version.

/*!
  \macro QML_ADDED_IN_MINOR_VERSION(VERSION)

  to be in line with any revisions given by \l Q_REVISION() macros on methods,
  slots, or signals, and any REVISION tags on properties declared with
  \l Q_PROPERTY().

  \l QML_ADDED_IN_MINOR_VERSION() only takes effect if the type or namespace is
  available in QML, by having a \l QML_ELEMENT, \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(),
  \l QML_ANONYMOUS, or \l QML_INTERFACE macro.

  If the QML module the type belongs to is imported with a lower version than
  the one determined this way, the QML type is invisible.

/*!
  \macro QML_REMOVED_IN_MINOR_VERSION(VERSION)
  \relates QQmlEngine

  Declares that the enclosing type or namespace was removed in the specified
  minor \a VERSION, relative to the module major version. This is primarily
  useful when replacing the implementation of a QML type. If a corresponding
  \l QML_ADDED_IN_MINOR_VERSION() is present on a different type or namespace of
  the same QML name, then the removed type is used when importing versions of
  the module lower than \a VERSION, and the added type is used when importing
  versions of the module greater or equal \a VERSION.

  \l QML_REMOVED_IN_MINOR_VERSION() only takes effect if type or namespace is
  available in QML, by having a \l QML_ELEMENT, \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(),
  \l QML_ANONYMOUS, or \l QML_INTERFACE macro.

  \l QML_ADDED_IN_MINOR_VERSION(), \l QML_REMOVED_IN_MINOR_VERSION(),
  \l QML_ATTACHED(), \l QML_EXTENDED(), or \l  QML_EXTENDED_NAMESPACE() macros

  This is useful for registering types that cannot be amended to add the macros,
  for example because they belong to 3rdparty libraries.
  To register a namespace, see \l QML_FOREIGN_NAMESPACE().

  \b{NOTE:} You may want to use \l QML_NAMED_ELEMENT() instead of \l QML_ELEMENT due to the fact that

/*!
  \macro QML_UNAVAILABLE
  \relates QQmlEngine

  This macro declares the enclosing type to be unavailable in QML. It registers
  an internal dummy type called \c QQmlTypeNotAvailable as \l QML_FOREIGN()
  type, using any further QML macros you specify.

  Normally, the types exported by a module should be fixed. However, if a C++
  type is not available, you should at least "reserve" the QML type name, and
  give the user of the unavailable type a meaningful error message.

  Example:

  \code
  #ifdef NO_GAMES_ALLOWED
  struct MinehuntGame
  {
      Q_GADGET
      QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(Game)
      QML_UNAVAILABLE
      QML_UNCREATABLE("Get back to work, slacker!");
  };
  #else
  class MinehuntGame : public QObject
  {
      Q_OBJECT
      QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(Game)
      // ...
  };
  #endif
  \endcode

  This will cause any QML which attempts to use the "Game" type to produce an
  error message:

  \badcode
  fun.qml: Get back to work, slacker!
     Game {
     ^
  \endcode

  Using this technique, you only need a \l Q_GADGET struct to customize the error
  message, not a full-blown \l QObject. Without \l QML_UNCREATABLE(),
  \l QML_UNAVAILABLE still results in a more specific error message than the usual
  "is not a type" for completely unknown types.

/*!
  \fn int qmlRegisterType(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName)
  \relates QQmlEngine

  This template function registers the C++ type in the QML system with
  the name \a qmlName, in the library imported from \a uri having the
  version number composed from \a versionMajor and \a versionMinor.

  Returns the QML type id.

  There are two forms of this template function:

  \code
  template<typename T>
  int qmlRegisterType(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName);

  template<typename T, int metaObjectRevision>
  int qmlRegisterType(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName);
  \endcode

  The former is the standard form which registers the type \e T as a new type.
  The latter allows a particular revision of a class to be registered in
  a specified version (see \l {Type Revisions and Versions}).


  For example, this registers a C++ class \c MySliderItem as a QML type
  named \c Slider for version 1.0 of a type namespace called
  "com.mycompany.qmlcomponents":

  \code
  qmlRegisterType<MySliderItem>("com.mycompany.qmlcomponents", 1, 0, "Slider");
  \endcode

  Once this is registered, the type can be used in QML by importing the
  specified type namespace and version number:

  \qml
  import com.mycompany.qmlcomponents 1.0

  Slider {
      // ...
  }
  \endqml

  Note that it's perfectly reasonable for a library to register types to older versions
  than the actual version of the library. Indeed, it is normal for the new library to allow
  QML written to previous versions to continue to work, even if more advanced versions of
  some of its types are available.

  \fn int qmlRegisterAnonymousType(const char *uri, int versionMajor)
  \relates QQmlEngine

  This template function registers the C++ type in the QML system as an anonymous type. The
  resulting QML type does not have a name. Therefore, instances of this type cannot be created from
  the QML system. You can, however, access instances of the type when they are exposed as properties
  of other types.

  Use this function when the type will not be referenced by name, specifically for C++ types that
  are used on the left-hand side of a property binding. To indicate to which module the type belongs
  use \a uri and \a versionMajor.

  For example, consider the following two classes:

    \code
    class Bar : public QObject
    {
        Q_OBJECT
        Q_PROPERTY(QString baz READ baz WRITE setBaz NOTIFY bazChanged)

    public:

  In QML, we assign a string to the \c baz property of \c bar:

    \code
    Foo {
        bar.baz: "abc"
        Component.onCompleted: print(bar.baz)

   This function may be used to register a singleton type provider \a callback in a particular \a uri
   and \a typeName with a version specified in \a versionMajor and \a versionMinor.

   Installing a singleton type into a uri allows developers to provide arbitrary functionality
   (methods and properties) to clients without requiring individual instances ot the type to be
   instantiated by the client.

   A singleton type may be either a QObject or a QJSValue.
   This function should be used to register a singleton type provider function which returns a QObject
   of the given type T as a singleton type.

   A QObject singleton type may be referenced via the type name with which it was registered, and this
   typename may be used as the target in a \l Connections type or otherwise used as any other type id would.
   One exception to this is that a QObject singleton type property may not be aliased.

   \b{NOTE:} A QObject singleton type instance returned from a singleton type provider is owned by
   the QML engine unless the object has explicit QQmlEngine::CppOwnership flag set.

   Usage:
   \code

   The url must be an absolute URL, i.e. url.isRelative() == false.

   In addition the type's QML file must have pragma Singleton statement among its import statements.

   A singleton type may be referenced via the type name with which it was registered, and this typename may be used as the

   This function is used to register a singleton object \a cppObject, with a
   particular \a uri and \a typeName. Its version is a combination of \a
   versionMajor and \a versionMinor.

   Installing a singleton type into a URI allows you to provide arbitrary
   functionality (methods and properties) to QML code without requiring
   individual instances of the type to be instantiated by the client.

   Use this function to register an object of the given type T as a singleton
   type.

   A QObject singleton type may be referenced via the type name with which it
   was registered; in turn this type name may be used as the target in a \l
   Connections type, or like any other type ID. However, there's one
   exception: a QObject singleton type property can't be aliased because the
   singleton type name does not identify an object within the same component
   as any other item.

   \note \a cppObject must outlive the QML engine in which it is used.
   Moreover, \cppObject must have the same thread affinity as the engine. If
   you want separate singleton instances for multiple engines, you need to use
   \l {qmlRegisterSingletonType}.  See \l{Threads and QObjects} for more
   information about thread safety.

    Usage:
    \code
    // First, define your QObject which provides the functionality.

  This function protects a module from having types registered into it. This
  can be used to prevent other plugins from injecting types into your module.
  It can also be a performance improvement, as it allows the engine to skip
  checking for the possibility of new types or plugins when this import is
  reached.

  The performance benefit is primarily seen when registering application
  specific types from within the application instead of through a plugin.
  Using qmlProtectModule allows the engine to skip checking for a plugin when
  that uri is imported, which can be noticeable with slow file systems.

  After this function is called, any attempt to register C++ types into this
  uri, major version combination will lead to a runtime error. Call this after
  you have registered all of your types with the engine.

  Returns true if the module with \a uri as a \l{Identified Modules}
  {module identifier} and \a majVersion as a major version number was found
  and locked, otherwise returns false. The module must contain exported types
  in order to be found.
