Rust and QML: a timely example

Re:Rust and QML: a timely example by oever on Thursday January 18, 2018 @07:41PM (#16183088)

The binding generator generates a binding from a JSON file. That gives C++ and Rust code. Additionally, a default Rust implementation is generated for convenience where the programmer fills in the application logic.

At no point is there a need to edit a generated C++ file. Any other build tool with C++ support could be used instead of CMake. What it should do is call rust_qt_binding_generator when the binding description changes.

The table in this blog shows what files are generated: https://www.vandenoever.info/blog/2017/09/04/rust_qt_binding...

Well then maybe your example should reflect that, where a change is made in the C++ file replacing 'Simple' with 'Time'

`src/main.cpp` is not a _generated_ C++ file.

It can be seen inside the template project here:
