.. currentmodule:: PySide6.QtQml
.. py:decorator:: QmlSingleton

    Declares the decorated type to be a singleton in QML. This only takes effect if
    the type is a :class:`~PySide6.QtCore.QObject` and is available in QML
    (by having a :deco:`QmlElement` decorator).
    The :class:`QQmlEngine` will try to create a singleton instance using the type's default
    constructor.

    .. code-block:: python

        QML_IMPORT_NAME = "com.library.name"
        QML_IMPORT_MAJOR_VERSION = 1
        QML_IMPORT_MINOR_VERSION = 0 # Optional

        @QmlElement
        @QmlSingleton
        class ClassForQml(QObject):
            ...

    It is also possible to use a static ``create()`` method which receives
    the engine as a parameter:

    .. code-block:: python

        @QmlElement
        @QmlSingleton
        class ClassForQml(QObject):

            @staticmethod
            def create(engine):
                ...

    .. note:: The order of the decorators matters; ``QmlSingleton`` needs to be preceded by ``QmlElement``.
