Detailed Description

Base class for all items in the model.

Parent/children hierarchy is not based on QObject.

Definition at line 49 of file qgsdataitem.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Capability

Enumerator
NoCapabilities 
SetCrs 

Can set CRS on layer or group of layers.

Deprecated:
since QGIS 3.6 – no longer used by QGIS and will be removed in QGIS 4.0
Fertile 

Can create children. Even items without this capability may have children, but cannot create them, it means that children are created by item ancestors.

Fast 

CreateChildren() is fast enough to be run in main thread when refreshing items, most root items (wms,wfs,wcs,postgres...) are considered fast because they are reading data only from QgsSettings.

Collapse 

The collapse/expand status for this items children should be ignored in order to avoid undesired network connections (wms etc.)

Rename 

Item can be renamed.

Delete 

Item can be deleted.

Definition at line 231 of file qgsdataitem.h.

◆ State

Enumerator
NotPopulated 

Children not yet created.

Populating 

Creating children in separate thread (populating or refreshing)

Populated 

Children created.

Definition at line 113 of file qgsdataitem.h.

◆ Type

Enumerator
Collection 
Directory 
Layer 
Error 
Favorites 

Represents a favorite item.

Project 

Represents a QGIS project.

Custom 

Custom item type.

Definition at line 76 of file qgsdataitem.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsDataItem()

QgsDataItem::QgsDataItem ( QgsDataItem::Type  type,
QgsDataItem parent,
const QString &  name,
const QString &  path,
const QString &  providerKey = QString() 
)

Constructor for QgsDataItem, with the specified parent item.

The name argument specifies the text to show in the model for the item. A translated string should be used wherever appropriate.

The path argument gives the item path in the browser tree. The path string can take any form, but QgsDataItem items pointing to different logical locations should always use a different item path.

The optional providerKey string (added in QGIS 3.12) can be used to specify the key for the QgsDataItemProvider that created this item.

Definition at line 125 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

◆ ~QgsDataItem()

QgsDataItem::~QgsDataItem ( )
override

Definition at line 139 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ acceptDrop()

virtual Q_DECL_DEPRECATED bool QgsDataItem::acceptDrop ( )
inlinevirtual

Returns whether the item accepts drag and dropped layers - e.g.

for importing a dataset to a provider. Subclasses should override this and handleDrop() to accept dropped layers.

See also
handleDrop()
QgsDataItemGuiProvider::handleDrop()
Deprecated:
QGIS 3.10

Definition at line 194 of file qgsdataitem.h.

◆ actions()

QList< QAction * > QgsDataItem::actions ( QWidget *  parent)
virtual

Returns the list of actions available for this item.

This is usually used for the popup menu on right-clicking the item. Subclasses should override this to provide actions.

Subclasses should ensure that ownership of created actions is correctly handled by parenting them to the specified parent widget.

Definition at line 562 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

◆ addChildItem()

void QgsDataItem::addChildItem ( QgsDataItem child,
bool  refresh = false 
)
virtual

Inserts a new child item.

The child will be inserted at a position using an alphabetical order based on mName.

Parameters
childchild item to insert. Ownership is transferred, and item parent will be set and relevant connections made.
refresh- set to true to refresh populated item, emitting relevant signals to the model
See also
deleteChildItem()

Definition at line 480 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

◆ beginInsertItems

void QgsDataItem::beginInsertItems ( QgsDataItem parent,
int  first,
int  last 
)
signal

◆ beginRemoveItems

void QgsDataItem::beginRemoveItems ( QgsDataItem parent,
int  first,
int  last 
)
signal

◆ capabilities2()

virtual Capabilities QgsDataItem::capabilities2 ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns the capabilities for the data item.

See also
setCapabilities()

Definition at line 276 of file qgsdataitem.h.

◆ children()

QVector<QgsDataItem *> QgsDataItem::children ( ) const
inline

Definition at line 303 of file qgsdataitem.h.

◆ childrenCreated

void QgsDataItem::childrenCreated ( )
virtualslot

Definition at line 302 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

◆ connectionsChanged

void QgsDataItem::connectionsChanged ( )
signal

Emitted when the provider's connections of the child items have changed This signal is normally forwarded to the app in order to refresh the connection item in the provider dialogs and to refresh the connection items in the other open browsers.

◆ createChildren()

QVector< QgsDataItem * > QgsDataItem::createChildren ( )
virtual

Create children.

Children are not expected to have parent set. This method MUST BE THREAD SAFE.

Reimplemented in QgsZipItem, QgsFavoritesItem, and QgsDirectoryItem.

Definition at line 250 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

◆ dataChanged

void QgsDataItem::dataChanged ( QgsDataItem item)
signal

◆ deferredDelete()

bool QgsDataItem::deferredDelete ( )
inlineprotected

The item is scheduled to be deleted.

E.g. if deleteLater() is called when item is in Populating state (createChildren() running in another thread), the deferredDelete() returns true and item will be deleted once Populating finished. Items with slow reateChildren() (for example network or database based) may check during createChildren() if deferredDelete() returns true and return from createChildren() immediately because result will be useless.

Definition at line 396 of file qgsdataitem.h.

◆ deleteChildItem()

void QgsDataItem::deleteChildItem ( QgsDataItem child)
virtual

Removes and deletes a child item, emitting relevant signals to the model.

Parameters
childchild to remove. Item must exist as a current child.

Definition at line 201 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

◆ deleteLater [2/2]

void QgsDataItem::deleteLater ( )
virtualslot

Safely delete the item:

  • disconnects parent
  • unsets parent (but does not remove itself)
  • deletes all its descendants recursively
  • waits until Populating state (createChildren() in thread) finished without blocking main thread
  • calls QObject::deleteLater()

Definition at line 177 of file qgsdataitem.cpp.

◆ depopulate

void QgsDataItem::depopulate ( )
virtualslot

Remove children recursively and set as not populated. This is used when refreshing collapsed items.
