Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Flag

enum QgsLocatorFilter::Flag

Flags for locator behavior.

Enumerator
FlagFast	Filter finds results quickly and can be safely run in the main thread.

Definition at line 110 of file qgslocatorfilter.h.

◆ Priority

enum QgsLocatorFilter::Priority

Filter priority. Controls the order of results in the locator.

Enumerator
Highest	Highest priority.
High	High priority.
Medium	Medium priority.
Low	Low priority.
Lowest	Lowest priority.

Definition at line 100 of file qgslocatorfilter.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsLocatorFilter()

QgsLocatorFilter::QgsLocatorFilter ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

Constructor for QgsLocatorFilter.

Definition at line 24 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual QgsLocatorFilter* QgsLocatorFilter::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Creates a clone of the filter.

New requests are always executed in a clone of the original filter.

◆ displayName()

virtual QString QgsLocatorFilter::displayName ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a translated, user-friendly name for the filter.

See also: name()

◆ enabled()

bool QgsLocatorFilter::enabled ( ) const

Returns true if the filter is enabled.

See also: setEnabled()

Definition at line 40 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

◆ fetchResults()

virtual void QgsLocatorFilter::fetchResults	(	const QString &	string,
		const QgsLocatorContext &	context,
		QgsFeedback *	feedback
	)

pure virtual

Retrieves the filter results for a specified search string.

The context argument encapsulates the context relating to the search (such as a map extent to prioritize).

Implementations of fetchResults() should emit the resultFetched() signal whenever they encounter a matching result.

Subclasses should periodically check the feedback object to determine whether the query has been canceled. If so, the subclass should return from this method as soon as possible.

This will be called from a background thread unless flags() returns the QgsLocatorFilter::FlagFast flag.

◆ finished

void QgsLocatorFilter::finished ( )

signal

Emitted when the filter finishes fetching results.

◆ flags()

QgsLocatorFilter::Flags QgsLocatorFilter::flags ( ) const

virtual

Returns flags which specify the filter's behavior.

Definition at line 30 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

◆ hasConfigWidget()

bool QgsLocatorFilter::hasConfigWidget ( ) const

virtual

Should return true if the filter has a configuration widget.

See also: createConfigWidget()

Definition at line 50 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

◆ name()

virtual QString QgsLocatorFilter::name ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the unique name for the filter.

This should be an untranslated string identifying the filter.

See also: displayName()

◆ openConfigWidget()

void QgsLocatorFilter::openConfigWidget ( QWidget * parent = nullptr )

virtual

Opens the configuration widget for the filter (if it has one), with the specified parent widget.

The base class implementation does nothing. Subclasses can override this to show their own custom configuration widget.

Note: hasConfigWidget() must return true to indicate that the filter supports configuration.

Definition at line 55 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

◆ prefix()

virtual QString QgsLocatorFilter::prefix ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the search prefix character(s) for this filter.

Prefix a search with these characters will restrict the locator search to only include results from this filter.

Note: Plugins are not permitted to utilize prefixes with < 3 characters, as these are reserved for core QGIS functions. If a plugin registers a filter with a prefix shorter than 3 characters then the prefix will be ignored.

Definition at line 159 of file qgslocatorfilter.h.

◆ prepare()

virtual void QgsLocatorFilter::prepare	(	const QString &	string,
		const QgsLocatorContext &	context
	)

inlinevirtual

Prepares the filter instance for an upcoming search for the specified string.

This method is always called from the main thread, and individual filter subclasses should perform whatever tasks are required in order to allow a subsequent search to safely execute on a background thread.

Definition at line 167 of file qgslocatorfilter.h.

◆ priority()

virtual Priority QgsLocatorFilter::priority ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the priority for the filter, which controls how results are ordered in the locator.

Definition at line 148 of file qgslocatorfilter.h.

◆ resultFetched

void QgsLocatorFilter::resultFetched ( const QgsLocatorResult & result )

signal

Should be emitted by filters whenever they encounter a matching result during within their fetchResults() implementation.

◆ setEnabled()

void QgsLocatorFilter::setEnabled ( bool enabled )

Sets whether the filter is enabled.

See also: enabled()

Definition at line 45 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

◆ setUseWithoutPrefix()

void QgsLocatorFilter::setUseWithoutPrefix ( bool useWithoutPrefix )

Sets whether the filter should be used when no prefix is entered.

See also: useWithoutPrefix()

Definition at line 65 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

◆ stringMatches()

bool QgsLocatorFilter::stringMatches	(	const QString &	candidate,
		const QString &	search
	)

static

Tests a candidate string to see if it should be considered a match for a specified search string.

Filter subclasses should use this method when comparing strings instead of directly using QString::contains() or Python 'in' checks.

Definition at line 35 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.

◆ triggerResult()

virtual void QgsLocatorFilter::triggerResult ( const QgsLocatorResult & result )

pure virtual

Triggers a filter result from this filter.

This is called when one of the results obtained by a call to fetchResults() is triggered by a user. The filter subclass must implement logic here to perform the desired operation for the search result. E.g. a file search filter would open file associated with the triggered result.

◆ useWithoutPrefix()

bool QgsLocatorFilter::useWithoutPrefix ( ) const

Returns true if the filter should be used when no prefix is entered.

See also: setUseWithoutPrefix()

Definition at line 60 of file qgslocatorfilter.cpp.
