Detailed Description

Class for parsing and evaluation of expressions (formerly called "search strings").

The expressions try to follow both syntax and semantics of SQL expressions.

Usage:

QgsExpression exp("gid*2 > 10 and type not in ('D','F')");
if (exp.hasParserError())
{
  // show error message with parserErrorString() and exit
}
QVariant result = exp.evaluate(feature, fields);
if (exp.hasEvalError())
{
  // show error message with evalErrorString()
}
else
{
  // examine the result
}

Three Value Logic

Similarly to SQL, this class supports three-value logic: true/false/unknown. Unknown value may be a result of operations with missing data (NULL). Please note that NULL is different value than zero or an empty string. For example 3 > NULL returns unknown.

There is no special (three-value) 'boolean' type: true/false is represented as 1/0 integer, unknown value is represented the same way as NULL values: NULL QVariant.

Performance

For better performance with many evaluations you may first call prepare(fields) function to find out indices of columns and then repeatedly call evaluate(feature).

Type conversion

Operators and functions that expect arguments to be of a particular type automatically convert the arguments to that type, e.g. sin('2.1') will convert the argument to a double, length(123) will first convert the number to a string. Explicit conversion can be achieved with to_int, to_real, to_string functions. If implicit or explicit conversion is invalid, the evaluation returns an error. Comparison operators do numeric comparison in case both operators are numeric (int/double) or they can be converted to numeric types.

Implicit sharing

This class is implicitly shared, copying has a very low overhead. It is normally preferable to call QgsExpression( otherExpression ) instead of QgsExpression( otherExpression.expression() ). A deep copy will only be made when prepare() is called. For usage this means mainly, that you should normally keep an unprepared master copy of a QgsExpression and whenever using it with a particular QgsFeatureIterator copy it just before and prepare it using the same context as the iterator.

Implicit sharing was added in 2.14

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsExpression() [1/3]

QgsExpression::QgsExpression ( const QString & expr )

Creates a new expression based on the provided string.

QgsExpression::QgsExpression ( const QgsExpression & other )

Create a copy of this expression.

void QgsExpression::setGeomCalculator ( const QgsDistanceArea * calc )

(used by $length, $area and $perimeter functions only). If the geometry calculator is set to nullptr (default), prepare() will read variables from the expression context ("project_ellipsoid", "_project_transform_context" and "_layer_crs") to build a geometry calculator. If these variables does not exist and if setGeomCalculator() is not called, all distance and area calculations are performed using simple Cartesian methods (ie no ellipsoidal calculations).
