class QgsPolymorphicRelation
{
%Docstring(signature="appended")
A polymorphic relation consists of the same properties like a normal relation except for the referenced layer which is calculated based on one or several fields of the referencing layer.

In its most simple form, the referencing layer will just insert the layer name of the referenced layer into this field.
To be more precise, a polymorphic relation is a set of normal relations having the same referencing layer but having the referenced layer dynamically defined.
The polymorphic setting of the layer is solved by using an expression which has to match some properties of the the referenced layer like the table name, schema, uri, layer id, ...

  public:

    QgsPolymorphicRelation();
%Docstring
Default constructor. Creates an invalid relation.
%End
    ~QgsPolymorphicRelation();

    QgsPolymorphicRelation( const QgsRelationContext &context );
%Docstring
Constructor with context. Creates an invalid relation.
%End

    QgsPolymorphicRelation( const QgsPolymorphicRelation &other );
%Docstring
Copies a relation.
This makes a shallow copy, relations are implicitly shared and only duplicated when the copy is
changed.
%End


    static QgsPolymorphicRelation createFromXml( const QDomNode &node, QgsReadWriteContext &context, const QgsRelationContext &relationContext = QgsRelationContext() );
%Docstring
Creates a relation from an XML structure. Used for reading .qgs projects.

:param node: The dom node containing the relation information
:param context: to pass project translator
:param relationContext: a relation context

:return: A relation
%End

    void writeXml( QDomNode &node, QDomDocument &doc ) const;
%Docstring
Writes a relation to an XML structure. Used for saving .qgs projects

:param node: The parent node in which the relation will be created
:param doc: The document in which the relation will be saved
%End

    void setId( const QString &id );
%Docstring
Set an id for this relation
%End

    void setName( const QString &name );
%Docstring
Set a name for this relation
%End

    void setReferencingLayer( const QString &id );
%Docstring
Set the referencing (child) layer id. This layer will be searched in the registry.
%End

    void addFieldPair( const QString &referencingField, const QString &referencedField );
%Docstring
Add a field pair which is part of this relation
The first element of each pair are the field names of the foreign key.
The second element of each pair are the field names of the matching primary key.

:param referencingField: The field name on the referencing (child) layer (FK)
:param referencedField: The field name on the referenced (parent) layer  (PK)
%End


    QString name() const;
%Docstring
Returns a human readable name for this relation. Mostly used as title for the children.

.. seealso:: :py:func:`id`

:return: A name

%Docstring
A (project-wide) unique id for this relation

:return: The id
%End

%Docstring
Generate a (project-wide) unique id for this relation

.. versionadded:: 3.0
%End

    QString referencingLayerId() const;
%Docstring
Access the referencing (child) layer's id
This is the layer which has the field(s) which point to another layer

:return: The id of the referencing layer
%End

    QgsVectorLayer *referencingLayer() const;
%Docstring
Access the referencing (child) layer
This is the layer which has the field(s) which point to another layer

:return: The referencing layer
%End

    QMap< QString, QString > fieldPairs() const;
%Docstring
Returns the field pairs which form this relation
The first element of each pair are the field names of the foreign key.
The second element of each pair are the field names of the matching primary key.

:return: The fields forming the relation
%End

Returns a list of attributes used to form the referenced fields
(most likely primary key) on the referenced (parent) layer.

:return: A list of attributes
%End

    QgsAttributeList referencingFields() const;
%Docstring
Returns a list of attributes used to form the referencing fields
(foreign key) on the referencing (child) layer.

:return: A list of attributes
%End

    bool isValid() const;
%Docstring
Returns the validity of this relation. Don't use the information if it's not valid.
A relation is considered valid if both referenced and referencig layers are valid.

%Docstring
Updates the validity status of this relation.
Will be called internally whenever a member is changed.
