Detailed Description

Stores information about constraints which may be present on a field.

Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 32 of file qgsfieldconstraints.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Constraint

Constraints which may be present on a field.

Enumerator
ConstraintNotNull 

Field may not be null.

ConstraintUnique 

Field must have a unique value.

ConstraintExpression 

Field has an expression constraint set. See constraintExpression().

Definition at line 43 of file qgsfieldconstraints.h.

◆ ConstraintOrigin

Origin of constraints.

Enumerator
ConstraintOriginNotSet 

Constraint is not set.

ConstraintOriginProvider 

Constraint was set at data provider.

ConstraintOriginLayer 

Constraint was set by layer.

Definition at line 54 of file qgsfieldconstraints.h.

◆ ConstraintStrength

Strength of constraints.

Enumerator
ConstraintStrengthNotSet 

Constraint is not set.

ConstraintStrengthHard 

Constraint must be honored before feature can be accepted.

ConstraintStrengthSoft 

User is warned if constraint is violated but feature can still be accepted.

Definition at line 64 of file qgsfieldconstraints.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsFieldConstraints()

QgsFieldConstraints::QgsFieldConstraints ( )
default

Constructor for QgsFieldConstraints.

Member Function Documentation

◆ constraintDescription()

QString QgsFieldConstraints::constraintDescription ( ) const
inline

Returns the descriptive name for the constraint expression.

See also
constraints()
constraintExpression()
setConstraintExpression()

Definition at line 133 of file qgsfieldconstraints.h.

◆ constraintExpression()

QString QgsFieldConstraints::constraintExpression ( ) const

Returns the constraint expression for the field, if set.

See also
constraints()
constraintDescription()
setConstraintExpression()

Definition at line 67 of file qgsfieldconstraints.cpp.

◆ constraintOrigin()

QgsFieldConstraints::ConstraintOrigin QgsFieldConstraints::constraintOrigin ( QgsFieldConstraints::Constraint  constraint) const

Returns the origin of a field constraint, or ConstraintOriginNotSet if the constraint is not present on this field.

See also
constraints()

Definition at line 19 of file qgsfieldconstraints.cpp.

◆ constraints()

Constraints QgsFieldConstraints::constraints ( ) const
inline

Returns any constraints which are present for the field.

See also
setConstraint()
constraintOrigin()

Definition at line 81 of file qgsfieldconstraints.h.

◆ constraintStrength()

QgsFieldConstraints::ConstraintStrength QgsFieldConstraints::constraintStrength ( QgsFieldConstraints::Constraint  constraint) const

Returns the strength of a field constraint, or ConstraintStrengthNotSet if the constraint is not present on this field.

See also
constraints()
setConstraintStrength()

Definition at line 27 of file qgsfieldconstraints.cpp.

◆ operator==()

bool QgsFieldConstraints::operator== ( const QgsFieldConstraints other) const

Definition at line 86 of file qgsfieldconstraints.cpp.

◆ removeConstraint()

void QgsFieldConstraints::removeConstraint ( Constraint  constraint)
inline

Removes a constraint from the field.

See also
setConstraint()
constraints()

Definition at line 117 of file qgsfieldconstraints.h.

◆ setConstraint()

void QgsFieldConstraints::setConstraint ( QgsFieldConstraints::Constraint  constraint,
QgsFieldConstraints::ConstraintOrigin  origin = ConstraintOriginLayer 
)

Sets a constraint on the field.

See also
constraints()
removeConstraint()

Definition at line 48 of file qgsfieldconstraints.cpp.

◆ setConstraintExpression()

void QgsFieldConstraints::setConstraintExpression ( const QString &  expression,
const QString &  description = QString() 
)

Set the constraint expression for the field.

An optional descriptive name for the constraint can also be set. Setting an empty expression will clear any existing expression constraint.

See also
constraintExpression()
constraintDescription()
constraints()

Definition at line 72 of file qgsfieldconstraints.cpp.

◆ setConstraintStrength()

void QgsFieldConstraints::setConstraintStrength ( QgsFieldConstraints::Constraint  constraint,
QgsFieldConstraints::ConstraintStrength  strength 
)

Sets the strength of a constraint.

Constraints default to ConstraintStrengthHard unless explicitly changed.

constraintStrength()
