class QgsApplication
 

Detailed Description

A registry / canonical manager of data providers.

This is a Singleton class that manages data provider access.

Providers can be either loaded via libraries or native providers that are included in the core QGIS installation and accessed through function pointers.

Loaded providers may be restricted using QGIS_PROVIDER_FILE environment variable. QGIS_PROVIDER_FILE is regexp pattern applied to provider file name (not provider key). For example, if the variable is set to gdal|ogr|postgres it will load only providers gdal, ogr and postgres.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Providers

Type for data provider metadata associative container.

Definition at line 361 of file qgsproviderregistry.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ WidgetMode

Different ways a source select dialog can be used.

Enumerator
None 

Basic mode when the widget is used as a standalone dialog.

Originally used as GUI for individual "Add XXX layer" buttons in the main window. Likely not used in live code anymore.

Embedded 

Used for the data source manager dialog where the widget is embedded as the main content for a particular tab.

Manager 

Used by data items for QgsDataItem::paramWidget().

Originally used by QGIS Browser, but does not seem to be in live code anymore. The mode was meant to avoid some actions to keep the browser interface simple (supposedly).
