Class: QgsProcessingDestinationParameter

class qgis.core.QgsProcessingDestinationParameter(name: str, description: str = '', defaultValue: Any = None, optional: bool = False, createByDefault: bool = True)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsProcessingParameterDefinition

Constructor for QgsProcessingDestinationParameter.

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

QgsProcessingDestinationParameter(QgsProcessingDestinationParameter)

Base class for all parameter definitions which represent file or layer destinations, e.g. parameters which are used for the destination for layers output by an algorithm.

New in version 3.0: Methods

createByDefault Returns true if the destination should be created by default.
defaultFileExtension Returns the default file extension for destination file paths associated with this parameter.
fromVariantMap
generateTemporaryDestination Generates a temporary destination value for this parameter.
isDestination
originalProvider Original (source) provider which this parameter has been derived from.
setCreateByDefault Sets whether the destination should be created by default.
setSupportsNonFileBasedOutput Sets whether the destination parameter supports non filed-based outputs, such as memory layers or direct database outputs.
supportsNonFileBasedOutput Returns true if the destination parameter supports non filed-based outputs, such as memory layers or direct database outputs.
toOutputDefinition Returns a new QgsProcessingOutputDefinition corresponding to the definition of the destination parameter.
toVariantMap

Signals

Attributes

createByDefault(self) → bool

Returns true if the destination should be created by default. For optional parameters, a return value of false indicates that the destination should not be created by default.

defaultFileExtension(self) → str

Returns the default file extension for destination file paths associated with this parameter.

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

Generates a temporary destination value for this parameter. The returned value will be a file path or QGIS data provider URI suitable for temporary storage of created layers and files.

isDestination(self) → 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.

setCreateByDefault(self, createByDefault: bool)

Sets whether the destination should be created by default. For optional parameters, a value of false indicates that the destination should not be created by default.

setSupportsNonFileBasedOutput(self, supportsNonFileBasedOutput: bool)

Sets whether the destination parameter supports non filed-based outputs, such as memory layers or direct database outputs.

supportsNonFileBasedOutput(self) → bool

Returns true if the destination parameter supports non filed-based outputs, such as memory layers or direct database outputs.

toOutputDefinition(self) → QgsProcessingOutputDefinition

Returns a new QgsProcessingOutputDefinition corresponding to the definition of the destination parameter.

toVariantMap(self) → Dict[str, Any]
