SortFilterProxyModel

SortFilterProxyModel is an implementation of QSortFilterProxyModel conveniently exposed for QML.

Install

With qpm :

1. qpm install fr.grecko.sortfilterproxymodel
2. add include(vendor/vendor.pri) in your .pro if it is not already done
3. import SortFilterProxyModel 0.2 to use this library in your QML files

Without qpm :

1. clone or download this repository
2. • qmake add include (<path/to/SortFilterProxyModel>/SortFilterProxyModel.pri) in your .pro
   • CMake add $<TARGET_OBJECTS:SortFilterProxyModel> to the sources of your executable target in your cmake project
3. import SortFilterProxyModel 0.2 to use this library in your QML files

Sample Usage

• You can do simple filtering and sorting with SortFilterProxyModel:

import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import SortFilterProxyModel 0.2

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480

    ListModel {
        id: personModel
        ListElement {
            firstName: "Erwan"
            lastName: "Castex"
            favorite: true
        }
        // ...
    }

    TextField {
        id: textField
        anchors { top: parent.top; left: parent.left; right: parent.right }
        height: implicitHeight
    }

    SortFilterProxyModel {
        id: personProxyModel
        sourceModel: personModel
        filters: RegExpFilter {
            roleName: "lastName"
            pattern: textField.text
            caseSensitivity: Qt.CaseInsensitive
        }
        sorters: StringSorter { roleName: "firstName" }
    }

    ListView {
        anchors { top: textField.bottom; bottom: parent.bottom; left: parent.left; right: parent.right }
        model: personProxyModel
        delegate: Text { text: model.firstName + " " + model.lastName}
    }
}

Here the ListView will only show elements that contains the content of the TextField in their lastName role.

• But you can also achieve more complex filtering or sorting with multiple filters and sorters:

    SortFilterProxyModel {
        id: personProxyModel
        sourceModel: personModel
        filters: [
            ValueFilter {
                enabled: onlyShowFavoritesCheckbox.checked
                roleName: "favorite"
                value: true
            },
            AnyOf {
                RegExpFilter {
                    roleName: "lastName"
                    pattern: textField.text
                    caseSensitivity: Qt.CaseInsensitive
                }
                RegExpFilter {
                    roleName: "firstName"
                    pattern: textField.text
                    caseSensitivity: Qt.CaseInsensitive
                }
            }
        ]
        sorters: [
            RoleSorter { roleName: "favorite"; sortOrder: Qt.DescendingOrder },
            StringSorter { roleName: "firstName" },
            StringSorter { roleName: "lastName" }
        ]
    }

    CheckBox {
        id:onlyShowFavoritesCheckbox
    }

This will show in the corresponding ListView only the elements where the firstName or the lastName match the text entered in the textField, and if the onlyShowFavoritesCheckbox is checked it will aditionnally filter the elements where favorite is true. The favorited elements will be shown first and all the elements are sorted by firstName and then lastName.

Documentation

This component is a subclass of QSortFilterProxyModel, to use it, you need to set the sourceModel property to a QAbstractItemModel* with correct role names. This means you can use it with custom c++ models or ListModel, but not with JavaScript models like arrays, integers or object instances.

The complete documentation reference is available here: https://okcerg.github.io/SortFilterProxyModel/
