35/**
36 * @class KQuickConfigModule kquickconfigmodule.h KQuickConfigModule
37 *
38 * The base class for QtQuick configuration modules.
39 * Configuration modules are realized as plugins that are dynamically loaded.
40 *
41 * All the necessary glue logic and the GUI bells and whistles
42 * are provided by the control center and must not concern
43 * the module author.
44 *
45 * To write a config module, you have to create a C++ plugin
46 * and an accompaning QML user interface.
47 *
48 * To allow KCMUtils to load your ConfigModule subclass, you must create a KPluginFactory implementation.
49 *
50 * \code
51 * #include <KPluginFactory>
52 *
53 * K_PLUGIN_CLASS_WITH_JSON(MyConfigModule, "yourmetadata.json")
54 * \endcode
55 *
56 * The constructor of the ConfigModule then looks like this:
57 * \code
58 * YourConfigModule::YourConfigModule(QObject *parent, const KPluginMetaData &metaData)
59 * : KQuickConfigModule(parent, metaData)
60 * {
61 * }
62 * \endcode
63 *
64 * The QML part must be in the KPackage format, installed under share/kpackage/kcms.
65 * @see KPackage::Package
66 *
67 * The package must have the same name as the plugin filename, to be installed
68 * by CMake with the command:
69 * \code
70 * kpackage_install_package(packagedir kcm_yourconfigmodule kcms)
71 * \endcode
72 * The "packagedir" is the subdirectory in the source tree where the package sources are
73 * located, and "kcm_yourconfigmodule" is id of the plugin.
74 * Finally "kcms" is the literal string "kcms", so that the package is
75 * installed as a configuration module (and not some other kind of package).
76 *
77 * The QML part can access all the properties of ConfigModule (together with the properties
78 * defined in its subclass) by accessing to the global object "kcm", or with the
79 * import of "org.kde.kcmutils" the ConfigModule attached property.
80 *
81 * \code
82 * import QtQuick
83 * import QtQuick.Controls as QQC2
84 * import org.kde.kcmutils as KCMUtils
85 * import org.kde.kirigami as Kirigami
86 *
87 * Item {
88 * // implicit size will be used as initial size when loaded in kcmshell6
89 * implicitWidth: Kirigami.Units.gridUnit * 30
90 * implicitHeight: Kirigami.Units.gridUnit * 30
91 *
92 * KCMUtils.ConfigModule.buttons: KCMUtils.ConfigModule.Help | KCMUtils.ConfigModule.Apply
93 *
94 * QQC2.Label {
95 * // The following two bindings are equivalent:
96 * text: kcm.needsSave
97 * enabled: KCMUtils.ConfigModule.needsSave
98 * }
99 * }
100 * \endcode
101 *
102 * See https://develop.kde.org/docs/extend/kcm/ for more detailed documentation.
103 * @since 6.0
