    QString name() const;
%Docstring
The name of the function.
%End

    int params() const;
%Docstring
The number of parameters this function takes.
%End

    int minParams() const;
%Docstring
The minimum number of parameters this function takes.
%End

    const QgsExpressionFunction::ParameterList &parameters() const;
%Docstring
Returns the list of named parameters for the function, if set.

%End

    virtual bool usesGeometry( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node ) const;
%Docstring
Does this function use a geometry object.
%End

    virtual QStringList aliases() const;
%Docstring
Returns a list of possible aliases for the function. These include
other permissible names for the function, e.g., deprecated names.

:return: list of known aliases

.. versionadded:: 2.9
%End

    bool lazyEval() const;
%Docstring
``True`` if this function should use lazy evaluation.  Lazy evaluation functions take QgsExpression.Node objects
rather than the node results when called.  You can use node->eval(parent, feature) to evaluate the node and return the result
Functions are non lazy default and will be given the node return value when called.
%End

    virtual bool isStatic( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node, QgsExpression *parent, const QgsExpressionContext *context ) const;
%Docstring
Will be called during prepare to determine if the function is static.
A function is static if it will return the same value for every feature with different
attributes and/or geometry.

By default this will return ``True``, if all arguments that have been passed to the function
are also static.

.. versionadded:: 3.0
%End

    virtual bool prepare( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node, QgsExpression *parent, const QgsExpressionContext *context ) const;
%Docstring
This will be called during the prepare step() of an expression if it is not static.

This can be used by functions to do any preparation steps that might help to speedup the upcoming
evaluation.

.. versionadded:: 3.0
%End

    virtual QSet<QString> referencedColumns( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node ) const;
%Docstring
Returns a set of field names which are required for this function.
May contain QgsFeatureRequest.AllAttributes to signal that all
attributes are required.
If in doubt this will return more fields than strictly required.

.. versionadded:: 3.0
%End

    bool isContextual() const;
%Docstring
Returns whether the function is only available if provided by a QgsExpressionContext object.

.. versionadded:: 2.12
%End

    virtual bool isDeprecated() const;
%Docstring
Returns ``True`` if the function is deprecated and should not be presented as a valid option
to users in expression builders.

.. versionadded:: 3.0
%End

    QString group() const;
%Docstring
Returns the first group which the function belongs to.

.. note::

   consider using groups() instead, as some functions naturally belong in multiple groups
%End

    QStringList groups() const;
%Docstring
Returns a list of the groups the function belongs to.

.. seealso:: :py:func:`group`

.. versionadded:: 3.0
%End

    const QString helpText() const;
%Docstring
The help text for the function.
%End

    virtual QVariant func( const QVariantList &values, const QgsExpressionContext *context, QgsExpression *parent, const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node ) = 0;
%Docstring
Returns result of evaluating the function.

:param values: list of values passed to the function
:param context: context expression is being evaluated against
:param parent: parent expression
:param node: expression node

:return: result of function
%End

    virtual QVariant run( QgsExpressionNode::NodeList *args, const QgsExpressionContext *context, QgsExpression *parent, const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node );
%Docstring
Evaluates the function, first evaluating all required arguments before passing them to the
function's func() method.
%End

    bool operator==( const QgsExpressionFunction &other ) const;

    virtual bool handlesNull() const;
%Docstring
Returns ``True`` if the function handles NULL values in arguments by itself, and the default
NULL value handling should be skipped.
%End

  protected:

    static bool allParamsStatic( const QgsExpressionNodeFunction *node, QgsExpression *parent, const QgsExpressionContext *context );
%Docstring
This will return ``True`` if all the params for the provided function ``node`` are static within the
constraints imposed by the ``context`` within the given ``parent``.

This can be used as callback for custom implementations of subclasses. It is the default for implementation
for StaticFunction.isStatic.
