Classes

class  QgsCachedFeature
 This is a wrapper class around a cached QgsFeature, which will inform the cache, when it has been deleted, so indexes can be updated that the wrapped feature needs to be fetched again if needed. More...

Signals

void progress (int i, bool &cancel)
 When filling the cache, this signal gets emitted periodically to notify about the progress and to be able to cancel an operation.
void finished ()
 When filling the cache, this signal gets emitted once the cache is fully initialized.
void cachedLayerDeleted ()
 Is emitted when the cached layer is deleted.
void attributeValueChanged (const QgsFeatureId &fid, const int &field, const QVariant &value)
 Is emitted when an attribute is changed.
void featureAdded (QgsFeatureId fid)
 Is emitted, when a new feature has been added to the layer and this cache.

Detailed Description

This class caches features of a given QgsVectorLayer.

The cached features can be indexed by QgsAbstractCacheIndex.

Proper indexing for a given use-case may speed up performance substantially.

Member Function Documentation

void QgsVectorLayerCache::addCacheIndex ( QgsAbstractCacheIndex cacheIndex)

Adds a QgsAbstractCacheIndex to this cache.

Cache indices know about features present in this cache and decide, if enough information is present in the cache to respond to a QgsFeatureRequest.

Parameters
cacheIndexThe cache index to add.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::attributeValueChanged ( const QgsFeatureId fid,
const int &  field,
const QVariant &  value 
)
signal

Is emitted when an attribute is changed.

Is re-emitted after the layer itself emits this signal. You should connect to this signal, to be sure, to not get a cached value if querying the cache.

Referenced by onAttributeValueChanged(), and QgsVectorLayerCache().

void QgsVectorLayerCache::cachedLayerDeleted ( )
signal

Is emitted when the cached layer is deleted.

Is emitted when the cached layers layerDelete() signal is being emitted, but before the local reference to it has been set to NULL. So call to layer() will still return a valid pointer for cleanup purpose.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::cacheFeature ( QgsFeature feat)
inlineprivate
int QgsVectorLayerCache::cacheSize ( )

Returns the maximum number of features this cache will hold.

In case full caching is enabled, this number can change, as new features get added.

Returns
int

bool QgsVectorLayerCache::checkInformationCovered ( const QgsFeatureRequest featureRequest)
protected

Checks if the information required to complete the request is cached.

i.e. If all attributes required and the geometry is held in the cache. Please note, that this does not check, if the requested features are cached.

Parameters
featureRequestThe QgsFeatureRequest to be answered
Returns
True if the information is being cached, false if not

void QgsVectorLayerCache::featureAdded ( QgsFeatureId  fid)
signal

Is emitted, when a new feature has been added to the layer and this cache.

You should connect to this signal instead of the layers', if you want to be sure that this cache has updated information for the new feature

Parameters
fidThe featureid of the changed feature

bool QgsVectorLayerCache::featureAtId ( QgsFeatureId  featureId,
QgsFeature feature,
bool  skipCache = false 
)

Gets the feature at the given feature id.

Considers the changed, added, deleted and permanent features

Parameters
featureIdThe id of the feature to query
featureThe result of the operation will be written to this feature
skipCacheWill query the layer regardless if the feature is in the cache already
Returns
true in case of success

void QgsVectorLayerCache::featureRemoved ( QgsFeatureId  fid)

Gets called, whenever a feature has been removed.

Broadcasts this information to indices, so they can invalidate their cache if required.

Parameters
fidThe feature id of the removed feature.

QgsFeatureIterator QgsVectorLayerCache::getFeatures ( const QgsFeatureRequest featureRequest = QgsFeatureRequest())

Query this VectorLayerCache for features.

If the VectorLayerCache (and moreover any of its indices) is able to satisfy the request, the returned QgsFeatureIterator will iterate over cached features. If it's not possible to fully satisfy the request from the cache, part or all of the features will be requested from the data provider.

Parameters
featureRequestThe request specifying filter and required data.
Returns
An iterator over the requested data.

void QgsVectorLayerCache::setFullCache ( bool  fullCache)

This enables or disables full caching.

If enabled, all features will be held in the cache. The cache size will incrementally be increased to offer space for all features. When enabled, all features will be read into cache. As this feature will most likely be used for slow data sources, be aware, that the call to this method might take a long time.

Parameters
fullCacheTrue: enable full caching, False: disable full caching
