Class: QgsBrowserModel

class qgis.core.QgsBrowserModel(parent: QObject = None)

Bases: PyQt5.QtCore.QAbstractItemModel

Constructor for QgsBrowserModel, with the specified parent object.

Note

QgsBrowserModel models are not initially populated and use a deferred initialization approach. After constructing a QgsBrowserModel, a call must be made to initialize() in order to populate the model.

A model for showing available data sources and other items in a structured tree.

QgsBrowserModel is the foundation for the QGIS browser panel, and includes items for the different data providers and folders accessible to users.

QgsBrowserModel models are not initially populated and use a deferred initialization approach. After constructing a QgsBrowserModel, a call must be made to initialize() in order to populate the model.

createIndex()
customEvent()
data(self, index: QModelIndex, role: int = Qt.DisplayRole) → Any
dataItem(self, idx: QModelIndex) → QgsDataItem

Returns the data item at the specified index, or None if no item exists at the index.

decodeData()
disconnectNotify()
driveItems(self) → object

Returns a map of the root drive items shown in the browser.

These correspond to the top-level directory items shown, e.g. on Windows the C:, D:, etc, and on Linux the “/” root directory.

New in version 3.6.

fetchMore(self, parent: QModelIndex)
findItem(self, item: QgsDataItem, parent: QgsDataItem = None) → QModelIndex

Returns the model index corresponding to the specified data item. If the item was not found, an invalid QModelIndex is returned.

If the parent item is argument is specified, then only items which are children of parent are searched. If no parent is specified, then all items within the model are searched.

findPath(self, path: str, matchFlag: Qt.MatchFlag = Qt.MatchExactly) → QModelIndex

Returns index of item with given path. It only searches in currently fetched items, i.e. it does not fetch children.

Parameters
  • path – item path

  • matchFlag – supported is Qt.MatchExactly and Qt.MatchStartsWith which has reverse meaning, i.e. find item with the longest match from start with path (to get as close/deep as possible to deleted item).

Returns

model index, invalid if item not found

findUri(self, uri: str, index: QModelIndex = QModelIndex()) → QModelIndex

Returns index of layer item with given uri. It only searches in currently fetched items, i.e. it does not fetch children.

Parameters
  • uri – item uri

  • index – the current index of the parent (to search for children)

Returns

model index, invalid if item not found

New in version 3.6.

flags(self, index: QModelIndex) → Qt.ItemFlags
hasChildren(self, parent: QModelIndex = QModelIndex()) → bool
headerData(self, section: int, orientation: Qt.Orientation, role: int = Qt.DisplayRole) → Any
hidePath(self, item: QgsDataItem)

Hide the given path in the browser model

index(self, row: int, column: int, parent: QModelIndex = QModelIndex()) → QModelIndex
initialize(self)

Delayed initialization, needed because the provider registry must be already populated.
