How to interact with the value of a Slider in Sailfish Silica / QML?

I seem to be totally lost in the declaration of forms in QML. I have a C++ object with properly set Q_PROPERTies, I have access to an object of that class in the QML, and I want to use sliders in the QML. How exactly do I make the value of the Slider update the information of the properties in the object, and vise-versa?

If it's anything like regular QML, then the following approaches will work.

Context property

Use an explicit Binding or use Slider's valueChanged signal:

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QtQml>

class Object : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(qreal value READ value WRITE setValue NOTIFY valueChanged)
public:
    explicit Object(QObject *parent = 0) :
        QObject(parent),
        mValue(0)
    {
    }

    qreal value() const {
        return mValue;
    }

    void setValue(qreal value) {
        if (value != mValue) {
            mValue = value;
            emit valueChanged();
        }
    }
signals:
    qreal valueChanged();
private:
    qreal mValue;
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    Object object;

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("object", &object);
    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:///main.qml")));

    return app.exec();
}

#include "main.moc"

main.qml:

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2

ApplicationWindow {
    width: 400
    height: 400
    visible: true

    Binding {
        target: object
        property: "value"
        value: slider.value
    }

    Slider {
        id: slider
        // You can also react to the valueChanged signal of Slider:
        //onValueChanged: object.value = value
    }
}

Registered QML Type

Use a simple binding:

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QtQml>

class Object : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(qreal value READ value WRITE setValue NOTIFY valueChanged)
public:
    explicit Object(QObject *parent = 0) :
        QObject(parent),
        mValue(0)
    {
    }

    qreal value() const {
        return mValue;
    }

    void setValue(qreal value) {
        if (value != mValue) {
            mValue = value;
            emit valueChanged();
        }
    }
signals:
    qreal valueChanged();
private:
    qreal mValue;
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    qmlRegisterType<Object>("Test", 1, 0, "Object");

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:///main.qml")));

    return app.exec();
}

#include "main.moc"

main.qml:

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2

import Test 1.0

ApplicationWindow {
    width: 400
    height: 400
    visible: true

    Object {
        id: object
        value: slider.value
        onValueChanged: print(value)
    }

    Slider {
        id: slider
    }
}
