Detailed Description

An expression node which takes it value from a feature's field.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef()

QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef ( const QString &  name)
inline

Constructor for QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, referencing the column with the specified name.

Definition at line 457 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

QgsExpressionNode * QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::clone ( ) const
overridevirtual

Generate a clone of this node.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Returns
a deep copy of this node.

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1513 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ dump()

QString QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::dump ( ) const
overridevirtual

Dump this node into a serialized (part) of an expression.

The returned expression does not necessarily literally match the original expression, it's just guaranteed to behave the same way.

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1480 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ evalNode()

QVariant QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::evalNode ( QgsExpression parent,
const QgsExpressionContext context 
)
overridevirtual

Abstract virtual eval method Errors are reported to the parent.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1418 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ isStatic()

bool QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::isStatic ( QgsExpression parent,
const QgsExpressionContext context 
) const
overridevirtual

Returns true if this node can be evaluated for a static value.

This is used during the prepare() step and in case it returns true, the value of this node will already be evaluated and the result cached (and therefore not re-evaluated in subsequent calls to eval()). In case this returns true, prepareNode() will never be called.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1520 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ name()

QString QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::name ( ) const
inline

The name of the column.

Definition at line 471 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.h.

◆ needsGeometry()

bool QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::needsGeometry ( ) const
overridevirtual

Abstract virtual method which returns if the geometry is required to evaluate this expression.

This needs to call needsGeometry() recursively on any child nodes.

Returns
true if a geometry is required to evaluate this expression

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1508 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ nodes()

QList< const QgsExpressionNode * > QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::nodes ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns a list of all nodes which are used in this expression.

Note
not available in Python bindings
Since
QGIS 3.2

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1501 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ nodeType()

QgsExpressionNode::NodeType QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::nodeType ( ) const
overridevirtual

Gets the type of this node.

Returns
The type of this node

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1453 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ prepareNode()

bool QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::prepareNode ( QgsExpression parent,
const QgsExpressionContext context 
)
overridevirtual

Abstract virtual preparation method Errors are reported to the parent.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1458 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ referencedColumns()

QSet< QString > QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::referencedColumns ( ) const
overridevirtual

Abstract virtual method which returns a list of columns required to evaluate this node.

When reimplementing this, you need to return any column that is required to evaluate this node and in addition recursively collect all the columns required to evaluate child nodes.

Warning
If the expression has been prepared via a call to QgsExpression::prepare(), or a call to QgsExpressionNode::prepare() for a node has been made, then some nodes in the expression may have been determined to evaluate to a static pre-calculatable value. In this case the results will omit attribute indices which are used by these pre-calculated nodes, regardless of their actual referenced columns. If you are seeking to use these functions to introspect an expression you must take care to do this with an unprepared expression node.
Returns
A list of columns required to evaluate this expression

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1486 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ referencedFunctions()

QSet< QString > QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::referencedFunctions ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns a set of all functions which are used in this expression.

Note
In contrast to the referencedColumns() function this method is not affected by any previous calls to QgsExpressionNode::prepare().

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1496 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ referencedVariables()

QSet< QString > QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef::referencedVariables ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns a set of all variables which are used in this expression.

Note
In contrast to the referencedColumns() function this method is not affected by any previous calls to QgsExpressionNode::prepare().

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1491 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.
