\title Library
The \uicontrol Library view lists the available components and assets.
\section1 Components
\image qtquick-components-tab.png "Library view Components tab"
\uicontrol Components displays modules that have been added to your project.
In many modules the components have been further organized into different
categories. The modules contain visual components, such as basic shapes,
UI controls, and 3D components, and add functionality to the project.
All components have a type.
The UI controls can be styled to have the look and feel of a particular
operating system, such as \macOS, Windows, Android, or iOS.
Some modules have no visible components. For example, the
\uicontrol {Qt.Multimedia} module adds support for audio and video
files to your UI.
\section2 Component Types
You can add the following types of components to your project:
\list
\li \l Shapes
\li \l Text
\li \l Images
\li \l {User Interaction Methods}
\li \l {Lists and Other Data Models}
\if defined(qtdesignstudio)
\li \l {2D Effects}
\li \l {Logic Helpers}
\endif
\li \l Animations
\li \l{Using 3D Components}{3D Components}
\endlist
For more information about creating your own components, see
\l{Creating Components}.
\section2 Adding and Removing Modules
When you \l{Creating Projects}{create projects}, modules typically needed in
them are added by default. For example, an empty application project
contains basic components and UI controls, while a 3D application project
contains additional 3D components.
To view the list of available modules, select \inlineimage plus.png
. Most commonly used modules are placed at the top of the list in
alphabetical order. You can search for components and modules by entering
search criteria in the \uicontrol Search field.
Select the module to add it to \uicontrol Library > \uicontrol Components.
\image qtquick-components-tab-add.png "Select Modules to Add"
This adds an \e {import statement} to the component code that you
can see in \l {Text Editor}. For example, if you add the
\uicontrol QtQuick.Controls module, the following import statement
is added to the code: \c {import QtQuick.Controls}.
Since the added components and modules are packaged with your UI into the
final application package, it is recommended that you select
\uicontrol {Remove Module} to remove the ones you don't use in the project.
\section1 Assets
\uicontrol {Assets} displays the images and other files that you add to
the project folder by selecting \inlineimage plus.png
.
\image qtquick-assets-tab.png "Library view Assets tab"
When you drag and drop assets from the tab to \uicontrol Navigator
or \uicontrol {Form Editor}, components with a suitable type are
automatically created for you. For example, components of the
\l{Images}{Image} type will be created for graphics files.
\section1 Context Menu Commands
\image qtquick-library-context-menu.png "Context menu commands in Library"
\image qtquick-library-context-menu-hide.png "Context menu command Hide Category"
To use the context menu commands in Library, right-click on the name of
a module or category and select one of the following commands:
\list
\li \uicontrol {Remove Module}: removes the component module added to
\uicontrol Library.
\li \uicontrol {Expand All}: expands all the modules.
\li \uicontrol {Collapse All}: collapses all the modules.
\li \uicontrol {Hide Category}: hides the category from the module.
\li \uicontrol {Show Module Hidden Categories}: shows the hidden
categories of the module.
\li \uicontrol {Show All Hidden Categories}: shows the hidden
categories in all of the modules.
\endlist
