Detailed Description

This is the interface for those who want to add custom data items to the browser tree.

The method createDataItem() is ever called only if capabilities() return non-zero value. There are two occasions when createDataItem() is called:

to create root items (passed path is empty, parent item is \c nullptr).

to create items in directory structure. For this capabilities have to return at least

of the following: QgsDataProvider::Dir or QgsDataProvider::File. Passed path is the file or directory being inspected, parent item is a valid QgsDirectoryItem

Member Function Documentation

capabilities()

virtual int QgsDataItemProvider::capabilities ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns combination of flags from QgsDataProvider::DataCapabilities.

Implemented in QgsFileBasedDataItemProvider.

createDataItem()

virtual QgsDataItem * QgsDataItemProvider::createDataItem ( const QString &  path, QgsDataItem *  parentItem  )

pure virtual

Create a new instance of QgsDataItem (or nullptr) for given path and parent item.

Caller takes responsibility of deleting created items.

Implemented in QgsFileBasedDataItemProvider.

createDataItems()

QVector< QgsDataItem * > QgsDataItemProvider::createDataItems ( const QString &  path, QgsDataItem *  parentItem  )

virtual

Create a vector of instances of QgsDataItem (or nullptr) for given path and parent item.

Caller takes responsibility of deleting created items.

Definition at line 20 of file qgsdataitemprovider.cpp.

dataProviderKey()

virtual QString QgsDataItemProvider::dataProviderKey ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the data provider key (if the data item provider is associated with a data provider), the default implementation returns an empty string.

Since

QGIS 3.14

Definition at line 58 of file qgsdataitemprovider.h.

handlesDirectoryPath()

bool QgsDataItemProvider::handlesDirectoryPath ( const QString &  path )

virtual

Returns true if the provider will handle the directory at the specified path.

If the provider indicates that it will handle the directory, the default creation and population of directory items for the path will be avoided and it is left to the provider to correctly populate relevant entries for the path.

The default implementation returns false for all paths.

Since

QGIS 3.0

Reimplemented in QgsFileBasedDataItemProvider.

Definition at line 27 of file qgsdataitemprovider.cpp.

name()

virtual QString QgsDataItemProvider::name ( )

pure virtual

Human-readable name of the provider name.

Implemented in QgsFileBasedDataItemProvider.
