Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual QgsScopedExpressionFunction* QgsScopedExpressionFunction::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a clone of the function.

◆ func()

QVariant QgsScopedExpressionFunction::func	(	const QVariantList &	values,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context,
		QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *	node
	)

overridepure virtual

Returns result of evaluating the function.

Parameters

values	list of values passed to the function
context	context expression is being evaluated against
parent	parent expression
node	expression node

Returns: result of function

Implements QgsExpressionFunction.

◆ isStatic()

bool QgsScopedExpressionFunction::isStatic	(	const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *	node,
		QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

Will be called during prepare to determine if the function is static.

A function is static if it will return the same value for every feature with different attributes and/or geometry.

By default this will return true, if all arguments that have been passed to the function are also static.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Reimplemented from QgsExpressionFunction.

Definition at line 837 of file qgsexpressioncontextutils.cpp.

◆ referencedColumns()

QSet< QString > QgsScopedExpressionFunction::referencedColumns ( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction * node ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a set of field names which are required for this function.

May contain QgsFeatureRequest::AllAttributes to signal that all attributes are required. If in doubt this will return more fields than strictly required.
