Bindings

A binding assigns an expression to a property of the element in whose body it appears. It has the form of a property name, followed by :, an expression, and ;.[sls.binding.form]

export component Example inherits Window {
Rectangle {
background: #2a6e3f;
}
}
slint

The name shall refer to a property of the enclosing element.[sls.binding.target-must-exist]

This revision of the specification covers a single expression form: the color literal.[sls.expr.forms]

A color literal consists of # followed by 3, 4, 6, or 8 hexadecimal digits: #rgb, #rgba, #rrggbb, or #rrggbbaa. The digits are case-insensitive. Any other number of digits is an error.[sls.expr.color.forms]

The digits specify the red, green, blue, and alpha channels, in this order. When the alpha channel is absent, the color is fully opaque.[sls.expr.color.channels]

In the 3- and 4-digit forms, each digit specifies a channel with the digit duplicated: #18f is the same color as #1188ff.[sls.expr.color.short-forms]

A color literal evaluates to a value of type color.[sls.expr.color.type]
