loader

loader

Use the global loader object to load Slint files from the file system. It exposes two stages of attributes:

1. Any lookup of an attribute in the loader tries to match a file in sys.path with the .slint extension. For example loader.my_component looks for a file my_component.slint in the directories in sys.path.
2. Any lookup in the object returned by the first stage tries to match an exported component in the loaded file, or a struct, or enum. For example loader.my_component.MyComponent looks for an exported component named MyComponent in the file my_component.slint.

Note: The first entry in the module search path sys.path is the directory that contains the input script.

Example:

import slint
# Look for a file `main.slint` in the current directory,
# #load & compile it, and instantiate the exported `MainWindow` component
main_window = slint.loader.main_window.MainWindow()
main_window.show()
