Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ProviderProperty

enum QgsDataProvider::ProviderProperty

Properties are used to pass custom configuration options into data providers.

This enum defines a list of custom properties which can be used on different providers. It depends on the provider, which properties are supported. In addition to these default properties, providers can add their custom properties starting from CustomData.

Enumerator
EvaluateDefaultValues	Evaluate default values on provider side when calling QgsVectorDataProvider::defaultValue( int index ) rather than on commit.
CustomData	Custom properties for 3rd party providers or very provider-specific properties which are not expected to be of interest for other providers can be added starting from this value up.

Definition at line 79 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsDataProvider()

QgsDataProvider::QgsDataProvider	(	const QString &	uri = `QString()`,
		const QgsDataProvider::ProviderOptions &	providerOptions = `QgsDataProvider::ProviderOptions()`,
		Qgis::DataProviderReadFlags	flags = `Qgis::DataProviderReadFlags()`
	)

Create a new dataprovider with the specified in the uri.

Additional creation options are specified within the options value and since QGIS 3.16 creation flags are specified within the flags value.

Definition at line 23 of file qgsdataprovider.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ appendError()

void QgsDataProvider::appendError ( const QgsErrorMessage & message )

inlineprotected

Add error message.

Definition at line 696 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ crs()

virtual QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem QgsDataProvider::crs ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the coordinate system for the data source.

If the provider isn't capable of returning its projection then an invalid QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem will be returned.

◆ dataChanged

void QgsDataProvider::dataChanged ( )

signal

Emitted whenever a change is made to the data provider which may have caused changes in the provider's data OUTSIDE of QGIS.

When emitted from a QgsVectorDataProvider, any cached information such as feature ids should be invalidated.

Warning: This signal is NOT emitted when changes are made to a provider from INSIDE QGIS – e.g. when adding features to a vector layer, deleting features or modifying existing features. Instead, the specific QgsVectorLayer signals should be used to detect these operations.

◆ dataComment()

virtual QString QgsDataProvider::dataComment ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns a short comment for the data that this provider is providing access to (e.g.

the comment for postgres table).

Note: The default implementation returns an empty string.

Since: QGIS 3.14

Reimplemented in QgsVectorDataProvider.

Definition at line 157 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ dataSourceUri()

virtual QString QgsDataProvider::dataSourceUri ( bool expandAuthConfig = false ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets the data source specification.

This may be a path or database connection string

Parameters

expandAuthConfig Whether to expand any assigned authentication configuration

Returns: data source specification

Note: The default authentication configuration expansion is false. This keeps credentials out of layer data source URIs and project files. Expansion should be specifically done only when needed within a provider

Definition at line 137 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ dataTimestamp()

virtual QDateTime QgsDataProvider::dataTimestamp ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Current time stamp of data source.

Reimplemented in QgsRasterDataProvider.

Definition at line 475 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ description()

virtual QString QgsDataProvider::description ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns description.

Returns a terse string describing what the provider is.

◆ elevationProperties() [1/2]

QgsDataProviderElevationProperties * QgsDataProvider::elevationProperties ( )

virtual

Returns the provider's elevation properties.

This may be nullptr, depending on the data provider.

Since: QGIS 3.32

Reimplemented in QgsRasterDataProvider, and QgsVectorDataProvider.

Definition at line 59 of file qgsdataprovider.cpp.

◆ elevationProperties() [2/2]

const QgsDataProviderElevationProperties * QgsDataProvider::elevationProperties ( ) const

virtual

Returns the provider's elevation properties.

This may be nullptr, depending on the data provider.

Since: QGIS 3.32

Reimplemented in QgsRasterDataProvider, and QgsVectorDataProvider.

Definition at line 66 of file qgsdataprovider.cpp.

◆ enterUpdateMode()

virtual bool QgsDataProvider::enterUpdateMode ( )

inlinevirtual

Enter update mode.

This is aimed at providers that can open differently the connection to the datasource, according it to be in update mode or in read-only mode. A call to this method shall be balanced with a call to leaveUpdateMode(), if this method returns true.

Most providers will have an empty implementation for that method.

For backward compatibility, providers that implement enterUpdateMode() should still make sure to allow editing operations to work even if enterUpdateMode() is not explicitly called.

Several successive calls to enterUpdateMode() can be done. So there is a concept of stack of calls that must be handled by the provider. Only the first call to enterUpdateMode() will really turn update mode on.

Returns: true in case of success (or no-op implementation), false in case of failure.

Definition at line 510 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ error()

virtual QgsError QgsDataProvider::error ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets current status error.

This error describes some principal problem for which provider cannot work and thus is not valid. It is not last error after accessing data by block(), identify() etc.

Definition at line 482 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ extent()

virtual QgsRectangle QgsDataProvider::extent ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the extent of the layer.

Warning: This may be expensive to calculate for some data providers, as it may involve additional network requests or in some cases, iterating through all the features in a layer. If the provider returns the Qgis::DataProviderFlag::FastExtent2D flag from the flags() method then the call to extent() is guaranteed to ALWAYS be fast and not involve any additional work.

Implemented in QgsVectorTileDataProvider, and QgsRasterDataProvider.

◆ extent3D()

virtual QgsBox3D QgsDataProvider::extent3D ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the 3D extent of the layer.

Warning: This may be expensive to calculate for some data providers, as it may involve additional network requests or in some cases, iterating through all the features in a layer. If the provider returns the Qgis::DataProviderFlag::FastExtent3D flag from the flags() method then the call to extent3D() is guaranteed to ALWAYS be fast and not involve any additional work.

Since: QGIS 3.36

Definition at line 257 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ fileRasterFilters()

virtual QString QgsDataProvider::fileRasterFilters ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns raster file filter string.

Returns a string suitable for a QFileDialog of raster file formats supported by the data provider. Naturally this will be an empty string for those data providers that do not deal with plain files, such as databases and servers.

Definition at line 455 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ fileVectorFilters()

virtual QString QgsDataProvider::fileVectorFilters ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns vector file filter string.

virtual

Obtain a formatted HTML string containing assorted metadata for this data provider.

Since: QGIS 3.36

Definition at line 31 of file qgsdataprovider.cpp.

◆ invalidateConnections()

virtual void QgsDataProvider::invalidateConnections ( const QString & connection )

inlinevirtual

Invalidate connections corresponding to specified name.

Definition at line 487 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ isValid()

virtual bool QgsDataProvider::isValid ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if this is a valid layer.

It is up to individual providers to determine what constitutes a valid layer.

◆ layerMetadata()

virtual QgsLayerMetadata QgsDataProvider::layerMetadata ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns layer metadata collected from the provider's source.

Individual data providers must implement this method if they support collecting metadata.

See also: writeLayerMetadata()

Definition at line 605 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ leaveUpdateMode()

virtual bool QgsDataProvider::leaveUpdateMode ( )

inlinevirtual

Leave update mode.

This is aimed at providers that can open differently the connection to the datasource, according it to be in update mode or in read-only mode. This method shall be balanced with a successful call to enterUpdateMode().

Most providers will have an empty implementation for that method.

Several successive calls to enterUpdateMode() can be done. So there is a concept of stack of calls that must be handled by the provider. Only the last call to leaveUpdateMode() will really turn update mode off.

Returns: true in case of success (or no-op implementation), false in case of failure.

Definition at line 528 of file qgsdataprovider.h.

◆ name()

virtual QString QgsDataProvider::name ( ) const

pure virtual
