# Qt Wayland Compositor QML Types

The Qt Wayland module provides QML types that can be used to create custom display servers supporting the Wayland protocol.

The QML types can be imported into your application using the following import statement:

## Using the Module

Using a Qt module's C++ API requires linking against the module library, either directly or through other dependencies. Several build tools have dedicated support for this, including CMake and qmake.

### Building with CMake

Use the `find_package()` command to locate the needed module component in the `Qt6` package:

     find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS WaylandCompositor)
     target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt6::WaylandCompositor)

For more details, see the Build with CMake overview.

### Building with qmake

To configure the module for building with qmake, add the module as a value of the `QT` variable in the project's .pro file:

     QT += waylandcompositor

### QML import

     import QtWayland.Compositor

For more information about using these types in your application, see the Qt Wayland Compositor documentation.
