Member Function Documentation

◆ asQueryString()

QString QgsSensorThingsUtils::asQueryString	(	Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	baseType,
		const QList< QgsSensorThingsExpansionDefinition > &	expansions )

static

Returns a list of expansions as a valid SensorThings API query string, eg "$expand=Locations($orderby=id desc;$top=3;$expand=Datastreams($top=101))".

The base entity type for the query must be specified.

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 1166 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ availableGeometryTypes()

QList< Qgis::GeometryType > QgsSensorThingsUtils::availableGeometryTypes	(	const QString &	uri,
		Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	type,
		QgsFeedback *	feedback = nullptr,
		const QString &	authCfg = QString() )

static

Returns a list of available geometry types for the server at the specified uri and entity type.

This method will block while network requests are made to the server.

Definition at line 735 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ combineFilters()

QString QgsSensorThingsUtils::combineFilters ( const QStringList & filters )

static

Combines a set of SensorThings API filter operators.

See https://docs.ogc.org/is/18-088/18-088.html#requirement-request-data-filter

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 719 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ displayString()

QString QgsSensorThingsUtils::displayString	(	Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	type,
		bool	plural = false )

static

Converts a Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type to a user-friendly translated string.

If plural is true then a plural string is returned (ie "Things" instead of "Thing").

Definition at line 298 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ entitySetStringToEntity()

Qgis::SensorThingsEntity QgsSensorThingsUtils::entitySetStringToEntity ( const QString & type )

static

Converts a string value corresponding to a SensorThings entity set to a Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type.

Returns Qgis::SensorThingsEntity::Invalid if the string could not be converted to a known entity set type.

Definition at line 326 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ entityToSetString()

QString QgsSensorThingsUtils::entityToSetString ( Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type )

static

Converts a SensorThings entity set to a SensorThings entity set string.

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 351 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ entityTypeHasGeometry()

bool QgsSensorThingsUtils::entityTypeHasGeometry ( Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type )

static

Returns true if the specified entity type can have geometry attached.

Definition at line 642 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ expandableTargets()

QList< Qgis::SensorThingsEntity > QgsSensorThingsUtils::expandableTargets ( Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type )

static

Returns a list of permissible expand targets for a given base entity type.

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 864 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ fieldsForEntityType()

QgsFields QgsSensorThingsUtils::fieldsForEntityType	(	Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	type,
		bool	includeRangeFieldProxies = true )

static

Returns the fields which correspond to a specified entity type.

Since QGIS 3.42 the includeRangeFieldProxies argument can be used to hide the "start"/"end" fields which are proxies for the date time range field types which are not natively supported in QGIS.

Definition at line 483 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ fieldsForExpandedEntityType()

QgsFields QgsSensorThingsUtils::fieldsForExpandedEntityType	(	Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	baseType,
		const QList< Qgis::SensorThingsEntity > &	expandedTypes )

static

Returns the fields which correspond to a specified entity baseType, expanded using the specified list of expandedTypes.

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 596 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ filterForExtent()

QString QgsSensorThingsUtils::filterForExtent	(	const QString &	geometryField,
		const QgsRectangle &	extent )

static

Returns a filter string which restricts results to those within the specified extent.

The extent should always be specified in EPSG:4326.

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 711 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ filterForWkbType()

QString QgsSensorThingsUtils::filterForWkbType	(	Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	entityType,
		Qgis::WkbType	wkbType )

static

Returns a filter string which restricts results to those matching the specified entityType and wkbType.

Definition at line 684 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ geometryFieldForEntityType()

QString QgsSensorThingsUtils::geometryFieldForEntityType ( Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type )

static

Returns the geometry field for a specified entity type.

Definition at line 617 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ geometryTypeForEntity()

Qgis::GeometryType QgsSensorThingsUtils::geometryTypeForEntity ( Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type )

static

Returns the geometry type for if the specified entity type.

If there are no restrictions on the geometry type an ntity can have Qgis::GeometryType::Unknown will be returned.

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 663 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ propertiesForEntityType()

QStringList QgsSensorThingsUtils::propertiesForEntityType ( Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type )

static

Returns the SensorThings properties which correspond to a specified entity type.

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 379 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ relationshipCardinality()

Qgis::RelationshipCardinality QgsSensorThingsUtils::relationshipCardinality	(	Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	baseType,
		Qgis::SensorThingsEntity	relatedType,
		bool &	valid )

static

Returns the cardinality of the relationship between a base entity type and a related entity type.

Parameters

baseType	base entity type
relatedType	related entity type
valid	will be set to `true` if a relationship exists between the entity types, or `false` if no relationship exists

Returns: relationship cardinality

Since: QGIS 3.38

Definition at line 945 of file qgssensorthingsutils.cpp.

◆ stringToEntity()

Qgis::SensorThingsEntity QgsSensorThingsUtils::stringToEntity ( const QString & type )

static

Converts a string value to a Qgis::SensorThingsEntity type.

Returns Qgis::SensorThingsEntity::Invalid if the string could not be converted to a known entity type.
