Detailed Description

The QgsFieldModel class is a model to display the list of fields in widgets (optionally associated with a vector layer).

If allowed, expressions might be added to the end of the model. It can be associated with a QgsMapLayerModel to dynamically display a layer and its fields.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ FieldRoles

Roles utilized by the model.

Enumerator
FieldNameRole 

Return field name if index corresponds to a field.

FieldIndexRole 

Return field index if index corresponds to a field.

ExpressionRole 

Return field name or expression.

IsExpressionRole 

Return if index corresponds to an expression.

ExpressionValidityRole 

Return if expression is valid or not.

FieldTypeRole 

Return the field type (if a field, return QVariant if expression)

FieldOriginRole 

Return the field origin (if a field, returns QVariant if expression)

IsEmptyRole 

Return if the index corresponds to the empty value.

EditorWidgetType 

Editor widget type.

JoinedFieldIsEditable 

true if a joined field is editable (returns QVariant if not a joined field)

FieldIsWidgetEditable 

true if a is editable from the widget

int  column,
const QModelIndex &  parent = QModelIndex() 
) const
override

Definition at line 241 of file qgsfieldmodel.cpp.

◆ indexFromName()

QModelIndex QgsFieldModel::indexFromName ( const QString &  fieldName)

Returns the index corresponding to a given fieldName.

Definition at line 32 of file qgsfieldmodel.cpp.

◆ isField()

bool QgsFieldModel::isField ( const QString &  expression) const

Returns true if a string represents a field reference, or false if it is an expression consisting of more than direct field reference.

Definition at line 77 of file qgsfieldmodel.cpp.

◆ layer()

QgsVectorLayer* QgsFieldModel::layer ( )
inline

Returns the layer associated with the model.

int QgsFieldModel::rowCount ( const QModelIndex &  parent = QModelIndex()) const
override

Definition at line 257 of file qgsfieldmodel.cpp.

◆ setAllowEmptyFieldName()

void QgsFieldModel::setAllowEmptyFieldName ( bool  allowEmpty)

Sets whether an optional empty field ("not set") option is present in the model.

See also
allowEmptyFieldName()
Since
QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 198 of file qgsfieldmodel.cpp.

◆ setAllowExpression()

void QgsFieldModel::setAllowExpression ( bool  allowExpression)

Sets whether custom expressions are accepted and displayed in the model.

See also
allowExpression()
setExpression()

Definition at line 181 of file qgsfieldmodel.cpp.

◆ setExpression()

void QgsFieldModel::setExpression ( const QString &  expression)

Sets a single expression to be added after the fields at the end of the model.

See also
setAllowExpression()
allowExpression()
removeExpression()

Definition at line 218 of file qgsfieldmodel.cpp.

◆ setFields()

void QgsFieldModel::setFields ( const QgsFields fields)

Manually sets the fields to use for the model.

This method should only be used when the model ISN'T associated with a layer() and needs to show the fields from an arbitrary field collection instead. Calling setFields() will automatically clear any existing layer().
