Qt Generator Online

Qt Generator Online generates a ready-to-edit Qt project skeleton from parameterized inputs, accelerating initial app setup for Qt5 and Qt6 applications. It targets developers, teams, educators, and students who want a consistent starting point with a standardized directory layout, build configuration, and module inclusion for Qt5/Qt6 applications. By externalizing boilerplate into templates, it reduces repetitive setup tasks and promotes project hygiene from day one.
Conceptually, the tool accepts inputs such as project_name, qt_version, modules (e.g., QtCore, QtWidgets, QtNetwork), language_bindings (C++, QML, or both), and target_platforms. A templating engine composes the appropriate source files, project files (.pro/.cmake), and optional CI/config files, then packages everything into a downloadable ZIP. Outputs include a complete tree (src/, include/, assets/), a README, and a sample main file with relative paths.
Unique value lies in its modular, policy-driven templates that adapt to chosen modules and Qt version, ensuring correct include paths, dependencies, and build scripts. It supports both traditional C++ and QML-based workflows, offers optional QML scaffolding, and can inject sample unit tests. Real-world use cases include bootstrapping a new cross-platform Qt app, rapidly creating module subtrees for large projects, and teaching students Qt project structure.
Core features and rules: required inputs validation, automatic dependency inference, cross-platform build setup, and consistent naming conventions. Optional features include CI snippet generation, license and README templates, test harness scaffolding, and additional module presets. Edge cases covered include invalid Qt versions, unsupported modules, and empty project names, which yield structured errors. Outputs adhere to UTF-8, with conventional path separators and portable file content, while not performing compilation or network calls.
