FAQs

  • How does QML Hot Reload save development time?

    Changes to QML and JavaScript code no longer require compilation and deployment. You can run your code instantly on multiple devices, and continue from the same application state where you were before saving your QML file(s). This allows incremental UI building and fast iterations, saving up to 40 hours per developer per month.

  • Do I need to change my project or QML code to use Hot Reload?

    No. One of the key benefits of Felgo QML Hot Reload is that it works with any QML code and project setup, without having to change anything. Gone are the times where you had to mock data to test new UI with data - QML Hot Reload allows you to see the QML UI changes with the actual live data.

  • Are there dependencies in my production code?

    The production code of your project stays unchanged! Hot Reload is a development tool only, and adds no dependency or footprint in your production or release builds.

  • How can I evaluate QML Hot Reload for my Qt Project(s)?

    Contact us to get an evaluation version of QML Hot Reload for your Qt project. You can take your time and thoroughly test the solution, for free.

  • Do I need to pay royalties or per-device fees?

    No. Felgo QML Hot Reload is a standalone tool that does not have any royalties or per-device fees.

  • What are the licensing and pricing options?

    QML Hot Reload is charged on a per-developer basis. It is offered as a floating license. There are discounts for multi-license orders and for multi-year orders. Contact us for a quote.

  • Are QML modules supported?

    Yes. Every QML language feature from Qt 5 and Qt 6 is supported with Felgo QML Hot Reload, including QML modules.

  • Which target platforms does QML Hot Reload work with?

    The solution supports all available Qt target platforms: Embedded, Desktop, Mobile and Web. If your device can run Qt, you can use QML Hot Reload.

  • What is the difference between standalone QML Hot Reload for Qt and the Felgo SDK?

    The Felgo SDK accelerates Qt development even more, with additional components to save time and Felgo Cloud Builds as Qt CI/CD. If you do not need these additions and are just interested in QML Hot Reload, you can use the standalone version.

  • How can I test on multiple devices simultaneously?

    QML Hot Reload supports multiple target devices by default. Any number of devices can connect to the server app running on your development computer. The server watches your project and sends code changes to all devices at the same time.

  • What are the technical requirements for using QML Hot Reload?

    Both the development computer and your target device require networking capabilities. Connecting the devices to the same local network then allows you to run your code remotely.

  • How does QML Hot Reload work from a technical viewpoint?

    By integrating QML Hot Reload, your application becomes capable of applying code changes at runtime. It can then connect to the server app on your development computer, which forwards code changes via the local network.
