Class: QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink

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

Bases: QgsProcessingDestinationParameter

Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink.

If createByDefault is False and the parameter is optional, then this destination output will not be created by default.

QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink(QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink)

A feature sink output for processing algorithms.

A parameter which represents the destination feature sink for features created by an algorithm.

Parameters

map (Dict[str) –

Return type

bool

generateTemporaryDestination(self)str
Return type

str

hasGeometry(self)bool

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

Return type

bool

originalProvider(self)QgsProcessingProvider

Original (source) provider which this parameter has been derived from. In the case of destination parameters which are part of model algorithms, this will reflect the child algorithm’s provider which actually generates the parameter, as opposed to the provider which this parameter belongs to (i.e. the model provider)

New in version 3.2.

setDataType(self, type: QgsProcessing.SourceType)

Sets the layer type for the sinks associated with the parameter.

Parameters

type (QgsProcessing.SourceType) –

setSupportsAppend(self, supportsAppend: bool)

Sets whether the sink supports appending features to an existing table.

Warning

A sink only supports appending if the algorithm implements QgsProcessingAlgorithm.sinkProperties for the sink parameter.
