You can also phrase your modules as C++-only static libraries and link them all 
together into the application. 
- That will depends on which C++ library your modules depends on. Not all code 
can be legally made static, this restriction, seem rather short sighted. Hope 
they change this.

You can also phrase your modules as C++-only static libraries and link them all 
together into the application. Mind that tools like Qt Creator or qmllint may 
have a hard time figuring this out and might not give you a meaningful analysis 
of your QML code. You will need to manually install your .qmltypes files into 
the import path or merge them together into a single one in the application 
directory. There is no "link" step for .qmltypes files (yet).

You can still manually call qmlRegisterType, but if you want qmllint and a 
future QML-to-C++ compiler to see your C++ types, you shouldn't.

best,
