## Detailed Description

The Package type is used in conjunction with DelegateModel to enable delegates with a shared context to be provided to multiple views.

Any item within a Package may be assigned a name via the Package.name attached property.

The example below creates a Package containing two named items; list and grid. The third item in the package (the Rectangle) is parented to whichever delegate it should appear in. This allows an item to move between views.

      Package {
          Text { id: listDelegate; width: parent.width; height: 25; text: 'Empty'; Package.name: 'list' }
          Text { id: gridDelegate; width: parent.width / 2; height: 50; text: 'Empty'; Package.name: 'grid' }

          Rectangle {
              id: wrapper
              width: parent.width; height: 25
              color: 'lightsteelblue'

              Text { text: display; anchors.centerIn: parent }
              state: root.upTo > index ? 'inGrid' : 'inList'
              states: [
                  State {
                      name: 'inList'
                      ParentChange { target: wrapper; parent: listDelegate }
                  },
                  State {
                      name: 'inGrid'
                      ParentChange {
                          target: wrapper; parent: gridDelegate
                          x: 0; y: 0; width: gridDelegate.width; height: gridDelegate.height
                      }
                  }
              ]

              transitions: [
                  Transition {
                      ParentAnimation {
                          NumberAnimation { properties: 'x,y,width,height'; duration: 300 }
                      }
                  }
              ]
          }
      }

These named items are used as the delegates by the two views who reference the special DelegateModel::parts property to select a model which provides the chosen delegate.

      DelegateModel {
          id: visualModel
          delegate: Delegate {}
          model: myModel
      }

      ListView {
          id: lv
          height: parent.height/2
          width: parent.width

          model: visualModel.parts.list
      }
      GridView {
          y: parent.height/2
          height: parent.height/2
          width: parent.width
          cellWidth: width / 2
          cellHeight: 50
          model: visualModel.parts.grid
      }
