Class: QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination

class qgis.core.QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination(name: str, description: str = '', type: QgsProcessing.SourceType = QgsProcessing.TypeVectorAnyGeometry, defaultValue: Any = None, optional: bool = False)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsProcessingDestinationParameter

Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination.

QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination(QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination)

A vector layer destination parameter, for specifying the destination path for a vector layer created by the algorithm.

Note

Consider using the more flexible QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink wherever possible.

Attributes

asScriptCode(self) → str
checkValueIsAcceptable(self, input: Any, context: QgsProcessingContext = None) → bool
clone(self) → QgsProcessingParameterDefinition
dataType(self) → QgsProcessing.SourceType

Returns the layer type for this created vector layer.

setDataType()

defaultFileExtension(self) → str
fromScriptCode(name: str, description: str, isOptional: bool, definition: str) → QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination

Creates a new parameter using the definition from a script code.

fromVariantMap(self, map: Dict[str, Any]) → bool
hasGeometry(self) → bool

Returns true if the created layer is likely to include geometries. In cases were presence of geometry cannot be reliably determined in advance, this method will default to returning true.

setDataType(self, type: QgsProcessing.SourceType)

Sets the layer type for the created vector layer.

type(self) → str
typeName() → str

Returns the type name for the parameter class.
