Classes

SearchLayers

No description available. A QGIS plugin class that integrates a layer search feature into the QGIS interface. It manages the initialization of a search action connected to showSearchDialog, which lazily instantiates and displays a LayerSearchDialog on demand. The class holds a reference to the QGIS iface object and the single LayerSearchDialog instance for the lifetime of the plugin.

Methods

init(self, iface)

Initializes a new instance of the SearchLayers class, storing the provided iface object as an instance attribute. Sets self.searchDialog to None, indicating that no search dialog has been created at construction time.

initGui(self)

No description available. Initializes the plugin's graphical user interface components within the QGIS environment. Configures the existing searchAction by setting its object name to 'searchLayers' and connecting its triggered signal to the showSearchDialog slot. Toolbar icon and plugin menu registration are present in the source but currently commented out.

showSearchDialog(self)

No description available. Displays the layer search dialog, instantiating a new LayerSearchDialog instance if one does not already exist. The dialog is initialized with the plugin's iface reference and the main QGIS window as its parent. Once created, the dialog is made visible by calling its show() method.
