Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual QgsExpressionNode* QgsExpressionNode::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Generate a clone of this node.

Ownership is transferred to the caller.

Returns: a deep copy of this node.

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ cloneTo()

void QgsExpressionNode::cloneTo ( QgsExpressionNode * target ) const

protected

Copies the members of this node to the node provided in target.

Needs to be called by all subclasses as part of their clone() implementation.

Note: Not available in python bindings, QgsExpression::Node is not going to be subclassed from python. If that's what you are looking for, look into writing a custom python expression function.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 51 of file qgsexpressionnode.cpp.

◆ dump()

virtual QString QgsExpressionNode::dump ( ) const

pure virtual

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.

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ eval()

QVariant QgsExpressionNode::eval	(	QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context
	)

Evaluate this node with the given context and parent.

This will return a cached value if it has been determined to be static during the prepare() execution.

Since: QGIS 2.12

Definition at line 20 of file qgsexpressionnode.cpp.

◆ isStatic()

virtual bool QgsExpressionNode::isStatic	(	QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context
	)		const

pure virtual

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

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ needsGeometry()

virtual bool QgsExpressionNode::needsGeometry ( ) const

pure virtual

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

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ nodes()

virtual QList<const QgsExpressionNode *> QgsExpressionNode::nodes ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a list of all nodes which are used in this expression.

Note: not available in Python bindings

Since: QGIS 3.2

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ nodeType()

virtual QgsExpressionNode::NodeType QgsExpressionNode::nodeType ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets the type of this node.

Returns: The type of this node

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ prepare()

bool QgsExpressionNode::prepare	(	QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context
	)

Prepare this node for evaluation.

This will check if the node content is static and in this case cache the value. If it's not static it will call prepareNode() to allow the node to do initialization work like for example resolving a column name to an attribute index.

Since: QGIS 2.12

Definition at line 33 of file qgsexpressionnode.cpp.

◆ referencedColumns()

virtual QSet<QString> QgsExpressionNode::referencedColumns ( ) const

pure virtual

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.

Returns: A list of columns required to evaluate this expression

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ referencedFunctions()

virtual QSet<QString> QgsExpressionNode::referencedFunctions ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a set of all functions which are used in this expression.

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.

◆ referencedVariables()

virtual QSet<QString> QgsExpressionNode::referencedVariables ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a set of all variables which are used in this expression.

Implemented in QgsExpressionNodeCondition, QgsExpressionNodeColumnRef, QgsExpressionNodeLiteral, QgsExpressionNodeFunction, QgsExpressionNodeInOperator, QgsExpressionNodeIndexOperator, QgsExpressionNodeBinaryOperator, and QgsExpressionNodeUnaryOperator.
