		bool	handlesNull = `false`
	)

Static function for evaluation against a QgsExpressionContext, using a named list of parameter values.

Lambda functions can be provided that will be called to determine if a geometry is used an which columns are referenced. This is only required if this cannot be determined by calling each parameter node's usesGeometry() or referencedColumns() method. For example, an aggregate expression requires the geometry and all columns if the parent variable is used. If nullptr is passed as a node to these functions, they should stay on the safe side and return if they could potentially require a geometry or columns.

Member Function Documentation

◆ aliases()

QStringList QgsStaticExpressionFunction::aliases ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a list of possible aliases for the function.

These include other permissible names for the function, e.g., deprecated names.

Returns: list of known aliases

Reimplemented from QgsExpressionFunction.

Definition at line 192 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ func()

QVariant QgsStaticExpressionFunction::func	(	const QVariantList &	values,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context,
		QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *	node
	)

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns result of evaluating the function.

Parameters

values	list of values passed to the function
context	context expression is being evaluated against
parent	parent expression
node	function node

Returns: result of function

Implements QgsExpressionFunction.

Definition at line 454 of file qgsexpressionfunction.h.

◆ functions()

static const QList< QgsExpressionFunction * > & QgsStaticExpressionFunction::functions ( )

static

Returns a list of all registered expression functions.

◆ isStatic()

bool QgsStaticExpressionFunction::isStatic	(	const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *	node,
		QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

Will be called during prepare to determine if the function is static.

A function is static if it will return the same value for every feature with different attributes and/or geometry.

By default this will return true, if all arguments that have been passed to the function are also static.

Reimplemented from QgsExpressionFunction.

Definition at line 218 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ prepare()

bool QgsStaticExpressionFunction::prepare	(	const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *	node,
		QgsExpression *	parent,
		const QgsExpressionContext *	context
	)		const

overridevirtual

This will be called during the prepare step() of an expression if it is not static.

This can be used by functions to do any preparation steps that might help to speedup the upcoming evaluation.

Reimplemented from QgsExpressionFunction.

Definition at line 226 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ referencedColumns()

QSet< QString > QgsStaticExpressionFunction::referencedColumns ( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction * node ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a set of field names which are required for this function.

May contain QgsFeatureRequest::AllAttributes to signal that all attributes are required. If in doubt this will return more fields than strictly required.

Reimplemented from QgsExpressionFunction.

Definition at line 210 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ setIsStatic()

void QgsStaticExpressionFunction::setIsStatic ( bool isStatic )

Tag this function as either static or not static.

This will indicate that the function is always expected to return the same value for an iteration (or explicitly request that it's going to be called for every feature, if false).

See also: setIsStaticFunction

Definition at line 239 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ setIsStaticFunction()

void QgsStaticExpressionFunction::setIsStaticFunction ( const std::function< bool(const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *, QgsExpression *, const QgsExpressionContext *) > & isStatic )

Set a function that will be called in the prepare step to determine if the function is static or not.

By default this is set to a function that checks all arguments that have been passed to the variable and if all of them are static, it will be assumed that the function is static as well.

Definition at line 234 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ setPrepareFunction()

void QgsStaticExpressionFunction::setPrepareFunction ( const std::function< bool(const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *, QgsExpression *, const QgsExpressionContext *)> & prepareFunc )

Set a function that will be called in the prepare step to determine if the function is static or not.

By default this is set to a function that checks all arguments that have been passed to the variable and if all of them are static, it will be assumed that the function is static as well.

Definition at line 245 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ setUsesGeometryFunction()

void QgsStaticExpressionFunction::setUsesGeometryFunction ( const std::function< bool(const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node)> & usesGeometry )

Set a function that will be called when determining if the function requires feature geometry or not.

Since: QGIS 3.30

Definition at line 205 of file qgsexpressionfunction.cpp.

◆ usesGeometry()

bool QgsStaticExpressionFunction::usesGeometry ( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction * node ) const

overridevirtual

Does this function use a geometry object.

Reimplemented from QgsExpressionFunction.
