Detailed Description

A grouped map of multiple QgsProperty objects, each referenced by a integer key value.

Properties within a collection are referenced by an integer key. This is done to avoid the cost of string creation and comparisons which would be required by a string key. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value. Examples of such enums are :

Definition at line 312 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ hasProperty()

bool QgsPropertyCollection::hasProperty ( int  key) const
overridevirtual

Returns true if the collection contains a property with the specified key.

Parameters
keyinteger key for property. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.
See also
property()

Implements QgsAbstractPropertyCollection.

Definition at line 203 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ isActive()

bool QgsPropertyCollection::isActive ( int  key) const
overridevirtual

Returns true if the collection contains an active property with the specified key.

Parameters
keyinteger key for property to test. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.

Implements QgsAbstractPropertyCollection.

Definition at line 268 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ loadVariant()

bool QgsPropertyCollection::loadVariant ( const QVariant &  configuration,
const QgsPropertiesDefinition definitions 
)
overridevirtual

Loads this property collection from a QVariantMap, wrapped in a QVariant.

You can use QgsXmlUtils::readVariant to save it to an XML document.

toVariant()

Implements QgsAbstractPropertyCollection.

Definition at line 341 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ operator!=()

bool QgsPropertyCollection::operator!= ( const QgsPropertyCollection other) const

Definition at line 147 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ prepare()

bool QgsPropertyCollection::prepare ( const QgsExpressionContext context = QgsExpressionContext()) const
overridevirtual

Prepares the collection against a specified expression context.

Calling prepare before evaluating the collection's properties multiple times allows precalculation of expensive setup tasks such as parsing expressions. Returns true if preparation was successful.

Implements QgsAbstractPropertyCollection.

Definition at line 240 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ property() [1/2]

QgsProperty & QgsPropertyCollection::property ( int  key)

Parameters
keyinteger key for property to return. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.
Returns
matching property, or null if no matching, active property found.
See also
hasProperty()

Definition at line 222 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ property() [2/2]

QgsProperty QgsPropertyCollection::property ( int  key) const

Returns
matching property, or null if no matching, active property found.

Returns the set of any fields referenced by the active properties from the collection.

Parameters
contextexpression context the properties will be evaluated against.
ignoreContextThis parameter has been added in QGIS 3.14. When set to true, even fields not set in context's fields() will be reported - this is useful e.g. with vector tiles where the actual available field names may not be known beforehand.

Implements QgsAbstractPropertyCollection.

Definition at line 254 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ setProperty() [1/2]

void QgsPropertyCollection::setProperty ( int  key,
const QgsProperty property 
)

Adds a property to the collection and takes ownership of it.

Parameters
keyinteger key for property. Any existing property with the same key will be removed and replaced by this property. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.
propertyproperty to add. Ownership is transferred to the collection. Setting an invalid property will remove the property from the collection.

Definition at line 187 of file qgspropertycollection.cpp.

◆ setProperty() [2/2]

void QgsPropertyCollection::setProperty ( int  key,
const QVariant &  value 
)

Convenience method, creates a QgsStaticProperty and stores it within the collection.

Parameters
keyinteger key for property. Any existing property with the same key will be deleted and replaced by this property. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.
valuestatic value for property

◆ value()

QVariant QgsPropertyCollection::value ( int  key,
const QgsExpressionContext context,
const QVariant &  defaultValue = QVariant() 
) const
overridevirtual

Returns the calculated value of the property with the specified key from within the collection.

If you need the validity of the value (like ok provided from the valueAs* variants) refer to the property() and QgsProperty::value()

Parameters
keyinteger key for property to return. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value.
contextexpression context to evaluate property against
defaultValuedefault value to return if no matching, active property found or if the property value cannot be calculated
