For a little over a year now, QGIS' best field companion QField has gained a plugin framework that allows users to expand the capabilities of QField through QML and Javascript. This workshop introduces the framework and goes through practical examples aimed at empowering the participants into writing their own plugins.
The workshop will introduce participants to QField’s plugin framework and its two main plugin types: app-wide plugins and project-scoped plugins. We will look into the decision-making around settling on Javascript/QML as the scripting language and look at its strengths.
We will then go through several practical plugin building examples that will cover:
Integration with online REST API endpoints;
Georeferenced visual map canvas overlays in QML language
Feature creation and iteration via plugin
Customization of QField user interface
The workshop will also provide participants with resources to further increase their knowledge beyond the workshop session itself.
