updateDestinationParameters(self)

Updates the model’s parameter definitions to include all relevant destination parameters as required by child algorithm ModelOutputs. Must be called whenever child algorithm ModelOutputs are altered.

updateModelParameter(self, definition: QgsProcessingParameterDefinition)

variablesForChildAlgorithm(self, childId: str, context: QgsProcessingContext, modelParameters: Dict[str, Any] = {}, results: Dict[str, Any] = {}) → object

Returns a map of variable name to variable definition for expression context variables which are available for use by child algorithm during model execution.

The child algorithm childId and processing context are manadatory. If modelParameters and results are not specified, then only the variable names and sources will be returned, but all variable values will be null. This can be used to determine in advance which variables will be available for a specific child algorithm, e.g. for use in expression builder widgets.

In order to calculate the actual variable value, the input model modelParameters and already executed child algorithm results must be passed.

Parameters
  • childId (str) –

  • context (QgsProcessingContext) –

  • modelParameters (Dict[str) –

  • results (Dict[str) –

Return type
