Scanner Item
A Scanner
item can appear inside a Module Item, and allows to extract dependencies for artifacts from the artifacts' file contents. For example, this is what a scanner for "qrc" files might look like:
import qbs.Xml Module { Scanner { inputs: 'qrc' scan: { var xml = new Xml.DomDocument(input.filePath); dependencies = []; // retrieve <file> entries from the XML document return dependencies; } } }
