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.

Constructor & Destructor 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.

Method Documentation

bool QScriptString::isValid ( ) const

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

QScriptString::operator QString ( ) const

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

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.

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

Attempts to convert this QScriptString to a CsScript array index, and returns the result. If a conversion error occurs ok is set to false otherwise ok is set to true.

QString QScriptString::toString ( ) const

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