Import Ubuntu.Component to workspace ( code completion in qtcreator ) - cross platform

way 0: Running QtCreator inside clickable image

https://github.com/lduboeuf/ut-qtcreator

way 1: Import QML components from clickable image

#run container clickable
docker run -i -t --entrypoint /bin/bash clickable/ubuntu-sdk:16.04-amd64

#in an another terminal, get the container id
docker ps

#copy ubuntu components to local folder
docker cp [container id]:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/ [path to somewhere]

#set the environnement variable to profile
echo "export QML_IMPORT_PATH=[path to somewhere]" >> ~/.profile

#reload env or you might need to logout/login
source ~/.profile

##stop container
docker stop [container id]

way 2: install Ubuntu Components (works only on ubuntu)

#only work for Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04:

#add ubports repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.ubports.com/ [bionic|xenial] main"

#install Ubuntu.components
sudo apt install qml-module-ubuntu-components

#qml components should be installed in "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml"
#set the environnement variable to profile
echo "export QML_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml" >> ~/.profile

#reload env or you might need to logout/login
source ~/.profile

great it worked :). feel free to add it to the doc, or if i find time i will.
