Detailed Description

This class wraps a request for features to a vector layer (or directly its vector data provider).

The request may apply an attribute/ID filter to fetch only a particular subset of features. Currently supported filters:

Additionally a spatial filter can be set in combination with the attribute/ID filter. Supported spatial filters are:

For efficiency, it is also possible to tell provider that some data is not required:

The options may be chained, e.g.:

QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterRect(QgsRectangle(0,0,1,1)).setFlags(QgsFeatureRequest.ExactIntersect)
This class wraps a request for features to a vector layer (or directly its vector data provider).
A rectangle specified with double values.
Definition: qgsrectangle.h:42

Examples:

# fetch all features:
# fetch all features, only one attribute
QgsFeatureRequest().setSubsetOfAttributes(['myfield'], layer.fields())
# fetch all features, without geometries
QgsFeatureRequest().setFlags(QgsFeatureRequest.NoGeometry)
# fetch only features from particular extent
QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterRect(QgsRectangle(0,0,1,1))
# fetch only features from particular extent, where the 'type' attribute is equal to 'road':
QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterRect(QgsRectangle(0,0,1,1)).setFilterExpression('"type"=\'road\'')
# fetch only one feature
QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterFid(45)
# fetch features within 50 map units of a linestring geometry
QgsFeatureRequest().setDistanceWithin(QgsGeometry.fromWkt('LineString(0 0, 10 0, 12 1)'), 50)
static QgsGeometry fromWkt(const QString &wkt)
Creates a new geometry from a WKT string.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ FilterType

Types of filters.

Enumerator
FilterNone 

No filter is applied.

FilterFid 

Filter using feature ID.

FilterExpression 

Filter using expression.

FilterFids 

Filter using feature IDs.

Definition at line 100 of file qgsfeaturerequest.h.

◆ Flag

Enumerator
NoFlags 
NoGeometry 

Geometry is not required. It may still be returned if e.g. required for a filter condition.

SubsetOfAttributes 

Fetch only a subset of attributes (setSubsetOfAttributes sets this flag)

ExactIntersect 

Use exact geometry intersection (slower) instead of bounding boxes.

IgnoreStaticNodesDuringExpressionCompilation 

If a feature request uses a filter expression which can be partially precalculated due to static nodes in the expression, setting this flag will prevent these precalculated values from being utilized during compilation of the filter for the backend provider. This flag significantly slows down feature requests and should be used for debugging purposes only. (Since QGIS 3.18)

EmbeddedSymbols 

Retrieve any embedded feature symbology (since QGIS 3.20)

Definition at line 86 of file qgsfeaturerequest.h.

◆ InvalidGeometryCheck

Handling of features with invalid geometries.

Enumerator
GeometryNoCheck 

No invalid geometry checking.

GeometrySkipInvalid 

Skip any features with invalid geometry. This requires a slow geometry validity check for every feature.

GeometryAbortOnInvalid 

Close iterator on encountering any features with invalid geometry. This requires a slow geometry validity check for every feature.

◆ requestMayBeNested()

bool QgsFeatureRequest::requestMayBeNested ( ) const

In case this request may be run nested within another already running iteration on the same connection, set this to true.

If this flag is true, this request will be able to make use of "spare" connections to avoid deadlocks.

setRequestMayBeNested()
Since
QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 391 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setConnectionTimeout()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setConnectionTimeout ( int  connectionTimeout)

Sets the timeout (in milliseconds) for how long we should wait for a connection if none is available from the pool at this moment.

Note
Only works if the provider supports this option.
Deprecated:
Use setTimeout() instead.
Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 374 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setDestinationCrs()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setDestinationCrs ( const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem crs,
const QgsCoordinateTransformContext context 
)

Sets the destination crs for feature's geometries.

If set, all geometries will be reprojected from their original coordinate reference system to this desired reference system. If crs is an invalid QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem then no reprojection will be done and all features will be left with their original geometry.

When a crs is set using setDestinationCrs(), then any filterRect() or referenceGeometry() set on the request is expected to be in the same CRS as the destination CRS.

The feature geometry transformation to the destination CRS is performed after all filter expressions are tested and any virtual fields are calculated. Accordingly, any geometric expressions used in filterExpression() will be performed in the original source CRS. This ensures consistent results are returned regardless of the destination CRS. Similarly, virtual field values will be calculated using the original geometry in the source CRS, so these values are not affected by any destination CRS transform present in the feature request.

destinationCrs()
Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 301 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setDistanceWithin()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setDistanceWithin ( const QgsGeometry geometry,
double  distance 
)

Sets a reference geometry and a maximum distance from this geometry to retrieve features within.

When a destination CRS is set using setDestinationCrs(), geometry is expected to be in the same CRS as the destinationCrs() and distance is in the spatial units of the destinationCrs(). Otherwise, geometry should use the same CRS as the source layer/provider and distance should use the spatial units as this same CRS.

Calling this method will automatically set spatialFilterType() to Qgis::SpatialFilterType::DistanceWithin.

filterRect()
Since
QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 122 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setExpressionContext()

Definition at line 187 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setFeedback()

void QgsFeatureRequest::setFeedback ( QgsFeedback feedback)

Attach a feedback object that can be queried regularly by the iterator to check if it should be canceled.

Ownership of feedback is NOT transferred, and the caller must take care that it exists for the lifetime of the feature request and feature iterators.

Definition at line 148 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setFilterRect()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFilterRect ( const QgsRectangle rectangle)

Sets the rectangle from which features will be taken.

An empty rectangle removes the filter.

When a destination CRS is set using setDestinationCrs(), rectangle is expected to be in the same CRS as the destinationCrs(). Otherwise, rectangle should use the same CRS as the source layer/provider.

Calling this method will automatically set spatialFilterType() to Qgis::SpatialFilterType::BoundingBox. If rectangle is a null rectangle then spatialFilterType() will be reset to Qgis::SpatialFilterType::NoFilter.

Sets a callback function to use when encountering an invalid geometry and invalidGeometryCheck() is set to GeometryAbortOnInvalid or GeometrySkipInvalid.

This function will be called using the feature with invalid geometry as a parameter.

◆ setInvalidGeometryCheck()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setInvalidGeometryCheck ( QgsFeatureRequest::InvalidGeometryCheck  check)

Sets invalid geometry checking behavior.

Note
Invalid geometry checking is not performed when retrieving features directly from a QgsVectorDataProvider.

◆ setLimit()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setLimit ( long long  limit)

Set the maximum number of features to request.

Parameters
limitmaximum number of features, or -1 to request all features.

Definition at line 216 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setNoAttributes()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setNoAttributes ( )

Set that no attributes will be fetched.

To revert a call to setNoAttributes and fetch all or some available attributes, the SubsetOfAttributes flag should be removed from the request.

Note
This is intended as hint to data providers for optimising feature retrieval. Depending on the provider, it may be trivial for the provider to always return all attributes instead of removing them. In these cases the provider may ignore this hint and return all attributes regardless of whether this method has been called.

◆ setOrderBy()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setOrderBy ( const OrderBy orderBy)

◆ setRequestMayBeNested()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setRequestMayBeNested ( bool  requestMayBeNested)

In case this request may be run nested within another already running iteration on the same connection, set this to true.

If this flag is true, this request will be able to make use of "spare" connections to avoid deadlocks.

For example, this should be set on requests that are issued from an expression function.

◆ setSubsetOfAttributes() [1/3]

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setSubsetOfAttributes ( const QgsAttributeList attrs)

Set a subset of attributes that will be fetched.

An empty attributes list indicates that no attributes will be fetched. To revert a call to setSubsetOfAttributes and fetch all available attributes, the SubsetOfAttributes flag should be removed from the request.

Note
This is intended as hint to data providers for optimising feature retrieval. Depending on the provider, it may be trivial for the provider to always return all attributes instead of the requested subset, or actually result in slower retrieval when the attributes are filtered out. In these cases the provider may ignore this hint and return all attributes regardless of the requested attributes.

◆ setSubsetOfAttributes() [2/3]

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setSubsetOfAttributes ( const QSet< QString > &  attrNames,
const QgsFields fields 
)

Sets a subset of attributes by names that will be fetched.

Note
This is intended as hint to data providers for optimising feature retrieval. Depending on the provider, it may be trivial for the provider to always return all attributes instead of the requested subset, or actually result in slower retrieval when the attributes are filtered out. In these cases the provider may ignore this hint and return all attributes regardless of the requested attributes.

◆ setSubsetOfAttributes() [3/3]

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setSubsetOfAttributes ( const QStringList &  attrNames,
const QgsFields fields 
)

Sets a subset of attributes by names that will be fetched.

Note
This is intended as hint to data providers for optimising feature retrieval. Depending on the provider, it may be trivial for the provider to always return all attributes instead of the requested subset, or actually result in slower retrieval when the attributes are filtered out.

◆ setTimeout()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setTimeout ( int  timeout)

Sets the timeout (in milliseconds) for the maximum time we should wait during feature requests before a feature is returned.

A negative value (which is set by default) will wait forever.

Note
Only works if the provider supports this option.

◆ spatialFilterType()

Qgis::SpatialFilterType QgsFeatureRequest::spatialFilterType ( ) const
inline

Returns the spatial filter type which is currently set on this request.

This type will automatically be set to the appropriate value whenever setFilterRect(), or setDistanceWithin() are called.

Note
A feature request may have both an attribute/ID filter AND a spatial filter set. See filterType() to retrieve the attribute/ID filter.
