Detailed Description

A model for showing available data sources and other items in a structured tree.

QgsBrowserModel is the foundation for the QGIS browser panel, and includes items for the different data providers and folders accessible to users.

QgsBrowserModel models are not initially populated and use a deferred initialization approach. After constructing a QgsBrowserModel, a call must be made to initialize() in order to populate the model.

Note: Since QGIS 3.10 it is recommended to use QgsBrowserGuiModel from GUI library. Implementation of data items used from QgsBrowserModel should not trigger any GUI operations such as opening of widgets/dialogs or showing message boxes. Such actions should be implemented in a new QgsDataItemGuiProvider subclass which is used by QgsBrowserGuiModel (but not by QgsBrowserModel).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsBrowserModel()

QgsBrowserModel::QgsBrowserModel ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructor for QgsBrowserModel, with the specified parent object.

Note: QgsBrowserModel models are not initially populated and use a deferred initialization approach. After constructing a QgsBrowserModel, a call must be made to initialize() in order to populate the model.

path	item path
matchFlag	supported is Qt::MatchExactly and Qt::MatchStartsWith which has reverse meaning, i.e. find item with the longest match from start with path (to get as close/deep as possible to deleted item).
