Detailed Description

Abstract interface for generating an expression context.

You need to implement this interface in a class and register this class with QgsFieldExpressionWidget::registerExpressionGenerator().

This is used for example in QgsPropertyOverrideButton or QgsFieldExpressionWidget classes which will ask for a new QgsExpressionContext every time the expression editor is opened. This way they are able to provide an up-to-date expression editor even when the environment changes.
