Detailed Description

An expression node for expression functions.

Definition at line 332 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsExpressionNodeFunction()

QgsExpressionNodeFunction::QgsExpressionNodeFunction	(	int	fnIndex,
		QgsExpressionNode::NodeList *	args
	)

A function node consists of an index of the function in the global function array and a list of arguments that will be passed to it.

Definition at line 1066 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ ~QgsExpressionNodeFunction()

QgsExpressionNodeFunction::~QgsExpressionNodeFunction ( )

override

Definition at line 1116 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ args()

QgsExpressionNode::NodeList* QgsExpressionNodeFunction::args ( ) const

inline

Returns a list of arguments specified for the function.

Definition at line 370 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.h.

◆ clone()

QgsExpressionNode * QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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 1251 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ dump()

QString QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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 1142 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ evalNode()

QVariant QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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 1054 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ fnIndex()

int QgsExpressionNodeFunction::fnIndex ( ) const

inline

Returns the index of the node's function.

Definition at line 365 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.h.

◆ isStatic()

bool QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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 1258 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ needsGeometry()

bool QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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 1239 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ nodes()

QList< const QgsExpressionNode * > QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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 1224 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ nodeType()

QgsExpressionNode::NodeType QgsExpressionNodeFunction::nodeType ( ) const

overridevirtual

Gets the type of this node.

Returns: The type of this node

Implements QgsExpressionNode.

Definition at line 1121 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ prepareNode()

bool QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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 1126 of file qgsexpressionnodeimpl.cpp.

◆ referencedColumns()

QSet< QString > QgsExpressionNodeFunction::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.
