Installation​

add_subdirectory(shadcn-cpp)
target_link_libraries(app PRIVATE shadcn::widgets)

Usage​

#include <shadcn/feedback.hpp>

shadcn::Attachment file(parent);
file.setTitle("report.pdf");
file.setDescription("2.4 MB");
file.setFilePath("/tmp/report.pdf");
file.setState(shadcn::AttachmentState::Done);
file.addAction("Open");

API​

setSource stores a URL. setFilePath stores a local path. openRequested reports the source without reading it.

Variations​

Set AttachmentSize, AttachmentOrientation and AttachmentState to describe transfer state and layout.

Keyboard and accessibility​

Qt supplies native focus, keyboard interaction and accessible object roles. Give the component a visible label or an accessible name when its text alone does not explain the action.

Ownership​

The parent widget owns the component. Child widgets created through a component layout follow Qt parent ownership. References returned by helper methods are borrowed.
