Class: QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink

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

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.

New in version 3.0.
