# Qt Quick Templates 2 QML Types

The Qt Quick Templates 2 module provides a set of non-visual templates that can be used to build user interface controls in QML using Qt Quick.

The QML types can be imported using the following import statement in your `.qml` file:

      import QtQuick.Templates 2.1 as T

For the sake of clarity, there is a one-to-one mapping between the types provided by the `QtQuick.Templates` and `QtQuick.Controls` imports. For every type available in the `QtQuick.Controls` import, a non-visual template type by the same name exists in the `QtQuick.Templates` import.

Note: It is recommended to use a namespace for the templates import to avoid overlap with the types provided by the `QtQuick.Controls` import.
