Detailed Description

The QScriptString class acts as a handle to "interned" strings in a QScriptEngine.

QScriptString can be used to achieve faster (repeated) property getting/setting, and comparison of property names, of script objects.

To get a QScriptString representation of a string, pass the string to QScriptEngine::toStringHandle(). The typical usage pattern is to register one or more pre-defined strings when setting up your script environment, then subsequently use the relevant QScriptString as argument to e.g. QScriptValue::property().

Call the toString() function to obtain the string that a QScriptString represents.

Call the toArrayIndex() function to convert a QScriptString to an array index. This is useful when using QScriptClass to implement array-like objects.

Member Function Documentation

QScriptString::QScriptString()

Constructs an invalid QScriptString.

QScriptString::QScriptString(const QScriptString &other)

Constructs a new QScriptString that is a copy of other.

QScriptString::~QScriptString()

Destroys this QScriptString.

bool QScriptString::isValid() const

Returns true if this QScriptString is valid; otherwise returns false.

quint32 QScriptString::toArrayIndex(bool *ok = Q_NULLPTR) const

Attempts to convert this QScriptString to a Qt Script array index, and returns the result.

If a conversion error occurs, *ok is set to false; otherwise *ok is set to true.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.

QString QScriptString::toString() const

Returns the string that this QScriptString represents, or a null string if this QScriptString is not valid.

See also isValid().

QScriptString::operator QString() const

Returns the string that this QScriptString represents, or a null string if this QScriptString is not valid.

See also toString().

bool QScriptString::operator!=(const QScriptString &other) const

Returns true if this QScriptString is not equal to other; otherwise returns false.

QScriptString &QScriptString::operator=(const QScriptString &other)

Assigns the other value to this QScriptString.

bool QScriptString::operator==(const QScriptString &other) const

Returns true if this QScriptString is equal to other; otherwise returns false.
