class qgis.core.QgsFieldsItem

Bases: QgsDataItem

__init__(parent: QgsDataItem | None, path: str | None, connectionUri: str | None, providerKey: str | None, schema: str | None, tableName: str | None)

Constructor for QgsFieldsItem, with the specified parent item.

The path argument gives the item path in the browser tree. The path string can take any form, but QgsDataItem items pointing to different logical locations should always use a different item path. The connectionUri argument is the connection part of the layer URI that it is used internally to create a connection and retrieve fields information. The providerKey string can be used to specify the key for the QgsDataItemProvider that created this item. The schema and tableName are used to retrieve the layer and field information from the connectionUri.

Parameters:

• parent (Optional[QgsDataItem])

• path (Optional[str])

• connectionUri (Optional[str])

• providerKey (Optional[str])

• schema (Optional[str])

• tableName (Optional[str])
