# SubProject Item

A `SubProject` item is used to add a project defined in another file as a sub-project to the surrounding project:

    SubProject {
        filePath: "subdir/project.qbs"
        Properties {
            name: "A sub-project"
        }
    }

If you don't need to set any properties on the sub-project, you can also use the `references` property, the same way you would do for a product:

    references: "subdir/project.qbs"

It is also possible to nest `Project` items directly in the same file.

Property | Type | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
filePath | path | empty | The file path of the project to add as a sub-project. If the top-level item in this file is a `Product`, it gets wrapped automatically in a new project.
inheritProperties | bool | true | Whether the sub-project should inherit the properties of the surrounding project. You can use this feature to share "global" settings between (sub-)projects.
