\class QScriptClass
\brief The QScriptClass class provides an interface for defining custom behavior of (a class of) Qt Script objects.
\ingroup script
\mainclass
The QScriptClass class defines an interface for handling various
aspects of interaction with the Qt Script objects associated with
the class. Such objects are created by calling
QScriptEngine::newObject(), passing a pointer to the QScriptClass as
argument.
By subclassing QScriptClass, you can define precisely how access to
properties of the objects that use your class is handled. This
enables a fully dynamic handling of properties, e.g. it's more
powerful than QScriptEngine::newQObject(). For example, you can use
QScriptClass to implement array-type objects (i.e. objects that
handle the \c{length} property, and properties whose names are valid
array indexes, in a special way), or to implement a "live"
(runtime-defined) proxy to an underlying object.
If you just need to handle access to a set of properties that are
known at the time an object is created (i.e. "semi-statically"), you
might consider using QScriptValue::setProperty() to define
getter/setter functions for the relevant properties, rather than
subclassing QScriptClass.
Reimplement queryProperty() to specify which properties are handled
in a custom way by your script class (i.e. should be
\bold{delegated} to the QScriptClass), and which properties should
be handled just like normal Qt Script object properties.
Reimplement property() and setProperty() to perform the actual
access (read or write) to the properties that your class
handles. Additionally, you can reimplement propertyFlags() to
specify custom flags for your properties.
Reimplement newIterator() to provide an iterator for objects of your
custom class. This is only necessary if objects of your class can
have custom properties that you want to be reported when an object
is used together with the QScriptValueIterator class, or when an
object is used in a for-in enumeration statement in a script.
When implementing custom classes of objects, you typically use
QScriptValue::setData() to store instance-specific data as part of
object initialization; the data won't be accessible from scripts
directly, but you can access it in e.g. your reimplementations of
property() and setProperty() (by calling QScriptValue::data()) to
perform custom processing.
Reimplement prototype() to provide a custom prototype object for
your script class.
Reimplement supportsExtension() and extension() if your custom
script class supports one or more of the extensions specified by the
Extension enum.

Queries this script class for how access to the property with the
given \a name of the given \a object should be handled. The given \a
flags specify the aspects of interest. This function should return a
subset of \a flags to indicate which aspects of property access
should be further handled by the script class.
For example, if the \a flags contain HandlesReadAccess, and you
would like your class to handle the reading of the property (through
the property() function), the returned flags should include
HandlesReadAccess. If the returned flags do not contain
HandlesReadAccess, the property will be handled as a normal script
object property.
You can optionally use the \a id argument to store a value that will
subsequently be passed on to functions such as property() and
setProperty().
The default implementation of this function returns 0.
Note: This function is only called if the given property isn't
already a normal property of the object. For example, say you
advertise that you want to handle read access to property \c{foo},
but not write access; if \c{foo} is then assigned a value, it will
become a normal script object property, and subsequently you will no
longer be queried regarding read access to \c{foo}.

This virtual function can be reimplemented in a QScriptClass
subclass to provide support for extensions. The optional \a argument
can be provided as input to the \a extension; the result must be
returned in the form of a QVariant. You can call supportsExtension()
to check if an extension is supported by the QScriptClass. By
default, no extensions are supported, and this function returns an
invalid QVariant.
If you implement the Callable extension, Qt Script will call this
function when an instance of your class is called as a function
(e.g. from a script or using QScriptValue::call()). The \a argument
will contain a pointer to the QScriptContext that represents the
function call, and you should return a QVariant that holds the
result of the function call. In the following example the sum of the
arguments to the script function are added up and returned:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_script_qscriptclass.cpp 0
If you implement the HasInstance extension, Qt Script will call this
function as part of evaluating the \c{instanceof} operator, as
described in ECMA-262 Section 11.8.6. The \a argument is a
QScriptValueList containing two items: The first item is the object
that HasInstance is being applied to (an instance of your class),
and the second item can be any value. extension() should return true
if the value delegates behavior to the object, false otherwise.
