Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ _LayerRef() [1/2]

template<typename TYPE>
_LayerRef< TYPE >::_LayerRef ( TYPE *  l = nullptr)
inline

Constructor for a layer reference from an existing map layer.

The layerId, source, name and provider members will automatically be populated from this layer.

Definition at line 41 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ _LayerRef() [2/2]

template<typename TYPE>
_LayerRef< TYPE >::_LayerRef ( const QString &  id,
const QString &  name = QString(),
const QString &  source = QString(),
const QString &  provider = QString() 
)
inline

Constructor for a weak layer reference, using a combination of layer ID, name, public source and provider key.

Definition at line 53 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get()

template<typename TYPE>
TYPE* _LayerRef< TYPE >::get ( ) const
inline

Returns a pointer to the layer, or nullptr if the reference has not yet been matched to a layer.

Definition at line 94 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ layerMatchesSource()

template<typename TYPE>
bool _LayerRef< TYPE >::layerMatchesSource ( QgsMapLayer layer) const
inline

Returns true if a layer matches the weak references to layer public source, layer name and data provider contained in this layer reference.

See also
resolveWeakly()

Definition at line 117 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ operator bool()

template<typename TYPE>
_LayerRef< TYPE >::operator bool ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the layer reference is resolved and contains a reference to an existing map layer.

Definition at line 77 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ operator->()

template<typename TYPE>
TYPE* _LayerRef< TYPE >::operator-> ( ) const
inline

Forwards the to map layer.

Definition at line 85 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ resolve()

template<typename TYPE>
TYPE* _LayerRef< TYPE >::resolve ( const QgsProject project)
inline

Resolves the map layer by attempting to find a layer with matching ID within a project.

If found, this reference will be updated to match the found layer and the layer will be returned. If no matching layer is found, a nullptr is returned.

resolveWeakly()

Definition at line 136 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.

◆ resolveWeakly()

template<typename TYPE>
TYPE* _LayerRef< TYPE >::resolveWeakly ( const QgsProject project)
inline

Resolves the map layer by attempting to find a matching layer in a project using a weak match.

First, the layer is attempted to match to project layers using the layer's ID (calling this method implicitly calls resolve()).

Failing a match by layer ID, the layer will be matched by using the weak references to layer public source, layer name and data provider contained in this layer reference.

If a matching layer is found, this reference will be updated to match the found layer and the layer will be returned. If no matching layer is found, a nullptr is returned.

◆ setLayer()

template<typename TYPE>
void _LayerRef< TYPE >::setLayer ( TYPE *  l)
inline

Sets the reference to point to a specified layer.

Definition at line 64 of file qgsmaplayerref.h.
