qml 中的嵌套列表:模型中的数据模型

I am trying to implement a nested comment system in a QML interface. I have a model in C++ (subclassed from QAbstractListModel) in which each item in the model returns two values: one is a QString and the other is a QVariantMap with roleName "dataMap". This works fine with a QML ListView. Now each QVariantMap contains an item "data" which further contains a QVariantList "children". Now this lists basically other QVariantMaps with the same structure. My idea to implement this was to use a recursive delegate in a QML ListView. Below is the simplest version of my code.

ListView{
    id: commentsList
    anchors.fill: parent
    model: commentsModel
    delegate: commentsDelegate
}
Component{
    id: commentsDelegate
    ColumnLayout{
        Rectangle{
            width: 600
            height: 200
            Text {
                id: bodyText
                text: dataMap.body
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                Component.onCompleted: console.debug(text)
            }
        }
        ListView{
            id: childList 

            property var childModel: dataMap.replies.data.children // QVariantList exposed to QML 

            x: 15
            interactive: false
            model: childModel
            anchors.fill: parent
            delegate: commentsDelegate
        }
    }
}

我的模型结构如下:

class ListModel : public QAbstractListModel
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
   ListModel(){}
   explicit ListModel(QObject* parent =0);
   ~ListModel();


   QHash<int, QByteArray> roleNames() const;
   QVariant data(const QModelIndex & index, int role) const;
   int rowCount(const QModelIndex &parent) const;
   void addItem(ListItem item);
   void clearModel();
private:
   QList<ListItem> m_itemsList;
signals:
   void dataChanged(const QModelIndex & topLeft, const QModelIndex & bottomRight);
};

ListItem 类很简单

class ListItem
{

public:
    ListItem(QObject* parent = 0) : QObject(parent) {}
    virtual ~ListItem() {}

    ListItem(const QString & type, const QVariantMap & dataMap);
    QString type() const;
    QVariantMap dataMap() const;
private:
    QString m_type;
    QVariantMap m_dataMap;
