Clarify on how JS signal handlers should be handled for .ui.qml files

XMLWordPrintable

      The wizard for Qt Quick propose a certain style on how purely declarative .qml.ui files can be used in components and augmented by logic. e.g. the Qt Quick Controls 2 wizard produces a Page1.qml file

      import QtQuick 2.7

Page1Form {
    button1.onClicked: {
        console.log("Button Pressed. Entered text: " + textField1.text);
    }
}

      Anyhow, following the example to implement textField1.onEditingFinished fails:

      
    textField1.onEditingFinished: {
        console.log(textField1.text)
    }

// ...
qrc:/main.qml:17 Type Page1 unavailable
qrc:/Page1.qml:9 ".onEditingFinished" is not available due to component versioning.

      Apparently one has to use a much more verbose syntax then:

          Connections {
        target: textField1
        onEditingFinished: {
            console.log(textField1.text)
        }
    }

      It is unclear to me when the simple slot works, and when one has to use a Connections element.
