▐ A curated list of awesome tools, libraries, and resources for the Qt framework.

Qt (https://www.qt.io) is a powerful cross-platform application development framework, for use primarily (but not exclusively) in C++.  It's great for GUI applications, but can be used for many other things as well.

Contributions are welcome!

Tools

A good developer writes his or her own tools.  A great one uses tools others wrote.  This section will help you be great; more formally, this section details applications that make it easier to create software with Qt.  You may also be 
interested in the Libraries (#libraries) section.

Official Tools

The Qt framework has surprisingly many tools that don't get the spotlight.  This section describes them (as well as the star players that do).  For the purpose of this section, "tool" refers to Qt-centric utilities whose code does not 
get embedded within your application (but their output might).

- Qt Creator (https://www.qt.io/ide) :octocat: (https://github.com/qtproject/qt-creator) - By no means does Qt lock you into its provided IDE, but its firm integration with the framework makes it a good sell.  Among other things, it 
provides a UI designer, modeling tools, a documentation browser, and great QML support if you're into that sort of thing.  There's also a plugin system, but third-party plugins are unfortunately scarce.
  - Qt Designer (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtdesigner-manual.html) :octocat: (https://github.com/qt/qttools/tree/dev/src/designer) - If you'd rather just design the interfaces and let someone else hook them up to logic, the GUI designer is
available as a separate application.
  - Qt Assistant (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtassistant-index.html) :octocat: (https://github.com/qt/qttools/tree/dev/src/assistant) - So is the documentation viewer, for that matter.
- Qt Visual Studio Add-in (https://doc.qt.io/archives/vs-addin) :octocat: (https://github.com/qt-labs/vstools) - If you'd rather stick to Visual Studio, this add-in will let you do that.
- Qt Linguist (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtlinguist-index.html) :octocat: (https://github.com/qt/qttools/tree/dev/src/linguist) - Qt provides excellent internationalization/localization support, and this tool is very much responsible for 
it.  Write translatable strings in your code with special macros, and this tool will aggregate them all for you so you or your translator(s) can broaden your software's audience.
- Qt Installer Framework (https://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework) :octocat: (https://github.com/qtproject/installer-framework) - Nobody seems to talk about this, but Qt also provides a way to write an installer for your application.  
Does not support creation of macOS disk images, app bundles, or Linux packages, so be mindful of that when considering your project's distribution.
  - macdeployqt (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/osx-deployment.html) :octocat: (https://github.com/qt/qttools/tree/dev/src/macdeployqt) - Generates macOS application bundles for Qt projects.
- qmake (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-manual.html) :octocat: (https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/dev/qmake) - The bundled build system designed for Qt, though it can be used for non-Qt projects.
- qbs (https://doc.qt.io/qbs) :octocat: (https://github.com/qt-labs/qbs) - If QML is more your style, consider this alternative build system.
- Emulator (https://doc.qt.io/emulator) - Don't forget about Qt's mobile support!
- qtdiag :octocat: (https://github.com/qt/qttools/tree/dev/src/qtdiag) - Command-line tool that prints out a lot of information pertaining to both your Qt installation and your system in general.  No link because there's no dedicated 
web page; just run qtdiag on the command line.  Excellent for troubleshooting.
- qmleasing :octocat: (https://github.com/qt/qtdeclarative/tree/dev/tools/qmleasing) - Lets you make easing curves suitable for QML, though if you understand the underlying math there's no reason you couldn't use the resulting numbers 
elsewhere.

Third-Party Tools

- CMake (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/cmake-manual.html) :octocat: (https://github.com/Kitware/CMake) - General C++ build tool that happens to have great Qt support.
- GammaRay (https://www.kdab.com/development-resources/qt-tools/gammaray) :octocat: (https://github.com/KDAB/GammaRay) - Powerful debugger and general inspection tool for Qt-built software.  Lets you inspect and manipulate the QObject 
hierarchy, view object properties, edit widgets at runtime, and far, far more.  A two-sentence blurb can't do it justice, seriously check it out.
- moc-ng (https://github.com/woboq/moc-ng) :octocat: (https://github.com/woboq/moc-ng) - Alternative implementation of moc that's binary-compatible with Qt's version.
- Qt-Inspector (https://github.com/robertknight/Qt-Inspector) :octocat: (https://github.com/robertknight/Qt-Inspector) - Inspection tool with similar goals to GammaRay, though much simpler.
- SIP (https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip) :package: (https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/hg/sip) - Generates Python bindings for C or C++ libraries.  Has special support for Qt signals and slots, and was used to create PyQt
(https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt).
- linuxdeployqt (https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt) :octocat: (https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt) - Lets you bundle your Qt based application as an AppDir or AppImage (http://appimage.org), making it possible to ship 
it to users of many desktop Linux distributions. Similar to the official windeployqt and macdeployqt tools but for Linux.
- Qompoter (https://github.com/Fylhan/qompoter) - Dependency manager for Qt / C++.

Bindings in Other Languages

This section describes software that enables creation of Qt software in a primary language other than C++.  Libraries that allow run-time scripting in a Qt application are listed under Integrations (#integrations).

- Python (via PyQt) (https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt) :package: (https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5) - Arguably the most comprehensive and well-known binding of Qt to another language.
- Python (via PySide) (https://wiki.qt.io/PySide) :package: (https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside.git) - Another binding for Python, which has been officially adopted by the Qt project.
- Ring (via RingQt) (http://ring-lang.sourceforge.net/doc/qt.html) :octocat: (https://github.com/ring-lang/ring/tree/master/extensions/ringqt) - I've never heard of this language either, honestly.
- Mono/.NET languages (via QtSharp) (https://github.com/ddobrev/QtSharp) :octocat: (https://github.com/ddobrev/QtSharp) - Experimental wrapper for Qt that allows it to be used by .NET-based languages such as C#.  Young, but active.

See these these (https://www.ics.com/blog/using-qt-alternative-programming-languages-part-1) three (https://www.ics.com/blog/using-qt-alternative-programming-languages-part-2) articles (https://wiki.qt.io/Category:LanguageBindings) if 
you want more.

Libraries

This section describes two kinds of third-party libraries; those that provide their own brand-new functionality (e.g. widgets, dealing with particular file formats), and those that provide integrations with existing software (e.g. 
scripting languages, clients for REST APIs, implementations of established protocols).


Integrations

For the purpose of this section, an "Integration"-focused library does one of the following:

1. Serves as a client for an established Web service.
2. Wraps another library in a Qt-friendly manner as more than just an implementation detail (i.e. it tries to mimic the wrapped API).

Other Relevant Awesome Lists

If you're familiar with Awesome, you'll know that there's an extremely wide variety of resources, the usefulness of which will depend on your project.  However, if you're developing Qt applications, you'll almost certainly want to look 
at these as well.

- Awesome C/C++ (https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp) - There's no reason you can't use C++ libraries that weren't designed for Qt.  Sometimes they might even suit your needs better than what Qt offers.
- Awesome C (https://github.com/aleksandar-todorovic/awesome-c) - Same goes for C libraries; might wanna brush up on those RAII techniques while you're at it.
- Awesome CMake (https://github.com/onqtam/awesome-cmake) - If you're not using qmake for your project, you're likely using CMake instead.
- Awesome OpenGL (https://github.com/eug/awesome-opengl) - Qt is commonly used for graphics applications, even providing its own wrappers around OpenGL.
