Hello,
Regarding the process itself,
I recommend you to follow the implementation of another class
because we don't have any tutorial.
Overall the process should consist on:
- Add the new class into the module's typesystem
e.g.: pyside-setup/sources/pyside2/PySide2/QtCore/typesystem_core_common.xml
- Add a couple of test cases:
e.g.: pyside-setup/sources/pyside2/tests/QtCore/
(don't forget to include the name of the scripts to the cmake file
on the same directory)
If you are lucky, the new class will require no extra steps,
but probably it will, so for this I recommend you to look
at a similar class so you can get an idea of how to solve the
issues you find. These issues could include:
- Ownership transfer
- Casting argument to different types
- Explicitly declare enums
- Adapt method signatures
- Include new signatures for a certain method
- etc
Join us on #qt-pyside if you have any further question.
Cheers
