Class: QgsProcessingModelChildAlgorithm

class qgis.core.QgsProcessingModelChildAlgorithm(algorithmId: str = '')

Bases: QgsProcessingModelComponent

Constructor for QgsProcessingModelChildAlgorithm. The algorithmId parameter should be set to a QgsProcessingAlgorithm algorithm ID.

QgsProcessingModelChildAlgorithm(other: QgsProcessingModelChildAlgorithm)

Child algorithm representing a single component of a QgsProcessingModelAlgorithm.

New in version 3.0.

Parameters

algorithmId

addParameterSources(self, name: str, source: Iterable[QgsProcessingModelChildParameterSource])

Adds a parameter source. The name argument should match one of the child algorithm’s parameter names, and the sources argument is used to set the sources for that parameter.

Any existing parameter sources with matching name will be replaced.

Parameters
algorithm(self) → QgsProcessingAlgorithm

Returns the underlying child algorithm, or a None if a matching algorithm is not available.

QgsProcessingAlgorithm

algorithmId(self) → str

Returns the underlying child algorithm’s ID.

setAlgorithmId()

Return type

str

asPythonCode(self) → str

Attempts to convert the child to executable Python code.

Return type

str

childId(self) → str

Returns the child algorithm’s unique ID string, used the identify this child algorithm within its parent model.

setChildId()

Return type

str

configuration(self) → Dict[str, Any]

Returns the child algorithm’s configuration map.

This map specifies configuration settings which are passed to the algorithm, allowing it to dynamically adjust its initialized parameters and outputs according to this configuration. This allows child algorithms in the model to adjust their behavior at run time according to some user configuration.

Return type

Dict[str, Any]

dependencies(self) → List[str]

Returns the list of child algorithms from the parent model on which this algorithm is dependent. The returned list contains the id() of the dependent algorithms.

Return type

List[str]

generateChildId(self, model: QgsProcessingModelAlgorithm)

Automatically generates a unique childId() for the algorithm, avoiding child IDs which are already present in model.

Parameters

model (QgsProcessingModelAlgorithm) –

isActive(self) → bool

Returns true if the child algorithm is active.

setActive()

Return type

bool

loadVariant(self, child: Any) → bool

Loads this child from a QVariant.

toVariant()

Parameters

child (Any) –

Return type

bool

modelOutput(self, name: str) → QgsProcessingModelOutput

Returns the final model output with matching name. If no output exists with the name, a new one will be created and returned.

If child model outputs are altered by this method, QgsProcessingModelAlgorithm.updateDestinationParameters() must be called on the parent model.

modelOutputs()

Parameters

name (str) –

Return type

QgsProcessingModelOutput

modelOutputs(self) → object

Returns the map of final model outputs which are generated by this child algorithm. The keys are the output names from this child algorithm. Only outputs which are part of the final outputs from the model are included in this map.

modelOutput()

Return type

object

outputsCollapsed(self) → bool

Returns true if the list of outputs for this algorithm should be collapsed in the graphical modeler.

Return type

bool

parameterSources(self) → object

Returns a map of parameter sources. The keys are the child algorithm parameter names, the values are the sources for that parameter.

Return type

object

parametersCollapsed(self) → bool

Returns true if the list of parameters for this algorithm should be collapsed in the graphical modeler.

Return type

bool

reattach(self) → bool

Attempts to re-attach the child to the algorithm specified by ``algorithmId``().

This can be run to relink the child to algorithms from providers which were not originally available for the model to link to.

Returns true if the algorithm was successfully reattached.

setAlgorithmId()

Return type

bool

removeModelOutput(self, name: str) → bool

Removes an existing output from the final model outputs.

QgsProcessingModelAlgorithm.updateDestinationParameters() must be called on the parent model.
