Access application version from within QML










1














I have defined this macro in my *.pro project file:



# The application version
VERSION = 6.10.0

# Define the preprocessor macro to get the application version in our application.
DEFINES += APP_VERSION=\"$$VERSION\"


Then I set my application version like this:



int main(int argc, char *argv)

QApplication app(argc, argv);

/*
* Setting the Application version
*/
app.setApplicationVersion(APP_VERSION);

// ...




Now I want to access the application version inside my QML code which is in a shared library. How can I do that? :



 ColumnLayout 
id: versionLayout

StyledLabel
text: qsTr("Version")
font.weight: Font.Bold

RowLayout
StyledLabel
Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignCenter
text: APP_VERSION // How can I access my macro/version here?
// QApplication.applicationVersion() is NOT working!
