isFeatureAdded()

attributeAdded

attributeAdded(self, int) [signal]

attributeDeleted

attributeDeleted(self, int) [signal]

attributeRenamed

Emitted when an attribute has been renamed

Parameters
  • idx – attribute index

  • newName – new attribute name

New in version 2.16: [signal]

attributeValueChanged

attributeValueChanged(self, int, int, Any) [signal]

changeAttributeValue(self, fid: int, field: int, newValue: Any, oldValue: Any = None) → bool

Changed an attribute value (but does not commit it)

changeAttributeValues(self, fid: int, newValues: Dict[int, Any], oldValues: Dict[int, Any]) → bool

Changes values of attributes (but does not commit it).

Returns

true if attributes are well updated, false otherwise

New in version 3.0.

changeGeometry(self, fid: int, geom: QgsGeometry) → bool

Change feature’s geometry

changedAttributeValues(self) → object

Returns a map of features with changed attributes values which are not committed.

changedGeometries(self) → object

Returns a map of features with changed geometries which are not committed.

childEvent()
commitChanges(self, commitErrors: Iterable[str]) → bool

Attempts to commit any changes to disk. Returns the result of the attempt. If a commit fails, the in-memory changes are left alone.

This allows editing to continue if the commit failed on e.g. a disallowed value in a Postgres database - the user can re-edit and try again.

The commits occur in distinct stages, (add attributes, add features, change attribute values, change geometries, delete features, delete attributes) so if a stage fails, it’s difficult to roll back cleanly. Therefore any error message also includes which stage failed so that the user has some chance of repairing the damage cleanly.
