◆ id()

virtual QString QgsAbstractLayerMetadataProvider::id ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the id of the layer metadata provider implementation, usually the name of the data provider but it may be another unique identifier.

◆ search()

virtual QgsLayerMetadataSearchResults QgsAbstractLayerMetadataProvider::search ( const QgsMetadataSearchContext searchContext,
const QString &  searchString = QString(),
const QgsRectangle geographicExtent = QgsRectangle(),
QgsFeedback feedback = nullptr 
) const
pure virtual

Searches for metadata optionally filtering by search string and geographic extent.

Parameters
searchContextcontext for the metadata search.
searchStringdefines a filter to limit the results to the records where the search string appears in the "identifier", "title" or "abstract" metadata fields, a case-insensitive comparison is used for the match.
geographicExtentdefines a filter where the spatial extent matches the given extent in EPSG:4326
feedbackcan be used to monitor and control the search process.
Returns
a QgsLayerMetadataSearchResult object with a list of metadata and errors
