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:

no filter - all features are returned
feature id - only feature that matches given feature id is returned
feature ids - only features that match any of the given feature ids are returned
filter expression - only features that match the given filter expression are returned

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

Qgis::SpatialFilterType::BoundingBox: Only features that intersect a given rectangle will be fetched. For the sake of speed, the intersection is often done only using feature's bounding box. There is a flag ExactIntersect that makes sure that only intersecting features will be returned.
Qgis::SpatialFilterType::DistanceWithin: Only features within a specified distance of a reference geometry will be fetched.

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

NoGeometry flag
SubsetOfAttributes flag
SimplifyMethod for geometries to fetch

The options may be chained, e.g.:

QgsFeatureRequest().setFilterRect(QgsRectangle(0,0,1,1)).setFlags(QgsFeatureRequest.ExactIntersect)

# 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

Since: QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 398 of file qgsfeaturerequest.h.

◆ 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.

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

See also: 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.

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

Note: Only works if the provider supports this option.

Deprecated:: Use setTimeout() instead.

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.

See also: destinationCrs()

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.

See also: filterRect()

Since: QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 122 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setExpressionContext()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setExpressionContext ( const QgsExpressionContext & context )

Sets the expression context used to evaluate filter expressions.

See also: expressionContext; setFilterExpression

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.

See also: feedback()

Since: QGIS 3.20

Definition at line 402 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setFilterExpression()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFilterExpression ( const QString & expression )

Set the filter expression.

{

See also: QgsExpression}

Parameters

expression expression string

Definition at line 167 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setFilterFid()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFilterFid ( QgsFeatureId fid )

Sets the feature ID that should be fetched.

Calling this method will automatically set filterType() to QgsFeatureRequest::FilterFid.

See also: filterFid(); setFilterFids()

Definition at line 141 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setFilterFids()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFilterFids ( const QgsFeatureIds & fids )

Sets the feature IDs that should be fetched.

Calling this method will automatically set filterType() to QgsFeatureRequest::FilterFids.

See also: filterFids(); setFilterFid()

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.

See also: filterRect()

Definition at line 101 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setFlags()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setFlags ( Qgis::FeatureRequestFlags flags )

◆ setInvalidGeometryCallback()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setInvalidGeometryCallback ( const std::function< void(const QgsFeature &)> & callback )

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.

See also: invalidGeometryCallback()

Definition at line 161 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setInvalidGeometryCheck()

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

Sets invalid geometry checking behavior.

Definition at line 155 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setLimit()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setLimit ( long long limit )

Set the maximum number of features to request.

Parameters

limit maximum number of features, or -1 to request all features.

See also: limit()

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.

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.

See also: timeout()

Since: QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 385 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ setTransformErrorCallback()

QgsFeatureRequest & QgsFeatureRequest::setTransformErrorCallback ( const std::function< void(const QgsFeature &)> & callback )

Sets a callback function to use when encountering a transform error when iterating features and a destinationCrs() is set.

This function will be called using the feature which encountered the transform error as a parameter.

See also: transformErrorCallback(); setDestinationCrs()

Definition at line 308 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ simplifyMethod()

const QgsSimplifyMethod & QgsFeatureRequest::simplifyMethod ( ) const

inline

Returns the simplification method for geometries that will be fetched.

See also: setSimplifyMethod()

Definition at line 704 of file qgsfeaturerequest.h.

◆ 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.

See also: filterType()

Since: QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 324 of file qgsfeaturerequest.h.

◆ subsetOfAttributes()

QgsAttributeList QgsFeatureRequest::subsetOfAttributes ( ) const

inline

Returns the subset of attributes which at least need to be fetched.

Returns: A list of attributes to 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.

◆ timeout()

int QgsFeatureRequest::timeout ( ) const

Returns 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.

Since: QGIS 3.4

Definition at line 380 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ transformContext()

QgsCoordinateTransformContext QgsFeatureRequest::transformContext ( ) const

Returns the transform context, for use when a destinationCrs() has been set and reprojection is required.

See also: setDestinationCrs(); destinationCrs()

Definition at line 296 of file qgsfeaturerequest.cpp.

◆ transformErrorCallback()

std::function< void(const QgsFeature &) > QgsFeatureRequest::transformErrorCallback ( ) const

inline

Returns the callback function to use when encountering a transform error when iterating features and a destinationCrs() is set.

Note: not available in Python bindings
