featureclass

Sumbodule that helps wrap featureclass objects with useful methods

FeatureClass

Bases: Table, Generic[_GeometryType]

A Wrapper for ArcGIS FeatureClass objects

Example
>>> # Initialize FeatureClass with Geometry Type
>>> point_features = FeatureClass[PointGeometry]('<feature_class_path>')
>>> # Create a buffer Iterator
>>> buffers = (pt.buffer(10) for pt in point_features.shapes)
... 
>>> sr = SpatialReference(4206)
>>> # Set a new spatial reference
>>> with point_features.reference_as(sr):
...     # Consume the Iterator, but with the new reference
...     for buffer in buffers:
...        area = buffer.area
...        units = sr.linearUnitName
...        print(f"{area} Sq{units}")

        `{**self.search_options, **(search_options or {}), **overrides}`

        With direct key word arguments (`**overrides`) shadowing all other supplied options. This allows a Feature Class to
        be initialized using a base set of options, then a shared SearchOptions set to be applied in some contexts,
        then a direct keyword override to be supplied while never mutating the base options of the feature class.

        Args:
            field_names (str | Iterable[str]): The column names to include from the `Table` or `FeatureClass`
            search_options (SearchOptions|None): A `SeachOptions` instance that will be used to shadow

            ( SearchCursor ): A `SearchCursor` for the `Table` or `FeatureClass` instance that has all supplied options
                resolved and applied

        Example:
            ```python
                >>> cleese_search = SearchOptions(where_clause="NAME = 'John Cleese'")
                >>> idle_search = SearchOptions(where_clause="NAME = 'Eric Idle'")
                >>> monty = Table or FeatureClass('<path>', search_options=cleese_search)
                >>> print(list(monty.search_cursor('NAME')))
                [('John Cleese',)]
                >>> print(list(monty.search_cursor('NAME', search_options=idle_search)))
                [('Eric Idle', )]
                >>> print(list(monty.search_cursor('NAME', search_options=idle_search)), where_clause="NAME = Graham Chapman")
                [('Graham Chapman', )]

__iter__()

Iterate all rows in the Table or FeatureClass yielding mappings of field name to field value

Note

It was decided to yield mappings because without specifying fields, it is up to the user to deal with the data as they see fit. Yielding tuples in an order that's not defined by the user would be confusing, so a mapping makes it clear exactly what they're accessing

Note

When a single field is specified using the fields_as context, values will be yielded

search_cursor(field_names, *, search_options=None, **overrides)

Get a SearchCursor for the Table or FeatureClass Supplied search options are resolved by updating the base Table or FeatureClass Search options in this order:

**overrides['kwarg'] -> search_options['kwarg'] -> self.search_options['kwarg']

This is implemented using unpacking operations with the lowest importance option set being unpacked first

{**self.search_options, **(search_options or {}), **overrides}

With direct key word arguments (**overrides) shadowing all other supplied options. This allows a Feature Class to be initialized using a base set of options, then a shared SearchOptions set to be applied in some contexts, then a direct keyword override to be supplied while never mutating the base options of the feature class.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
field_names str | Iterable[str]

The column names to include from the Table or FeatureClass

required
search_options SearchOptions | None

A SeachOptions instance that will be used to shadow search_options set on the Table or FeatureClass

None
**overrides Unpack[SeachOptions]

Additional keyword arguments for the cursor that shadow both the seach_options variable and the Table or FeatureClass instance SearchOptions

{}

Returns:

Type Description
SearchCursor

A SearchCursor for the Table or FeatureClass instance that has all supplied options resolved and applied

Example
    >>> cleese_search = SearchOptions(where_clause="NAME = 'John Cleese'")
    >>> idle_search = SearchOptions(where_clause="NAME = 'Eric Idle'")
    >>> monty = Table or FeatureClass('<path>', search_options=cleese_search)
    >>> print(list(monty.search_cursor('NAME')))
    [('John Cleese',)]
    >>> print(list(monty.search_cursor('NAME', search_options=idle_search)))
    [('Eric Idle', )]
    >>> print(list(monty.search_cursor('NAME', search_options=idle_search)), where_clause="NAME = Graham Chapman")
    [('Graham Chapman', )]

In this example, you can see that the keyword override is the most important. The fact that the other searches are created outside initialization allows you to store common queries in one place and update them for all cursors using them at the same time, while still allowing specific instances of a cursor to override those shared/stored defaults.

filter_fields(*fields)

Decorator for filter functions that limits fields checked by the SearchCursor

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
*fields FieldName

Varargs for the fields to limit the filter to

()

Returns:

Type Description
FilterFunc

A filter function with a fields attribute added

Used with FeatureClass.filter to limit columns

Note

Iterating filtered rows using a decorated filter will limit available columns inside the context of the filter. This should only be used if you need to improve performance of a filter and don't care about the fields not included in the filter_fields decorator:

Example:

>>> @filter_fields('Name', 'Age')
>>> def age_over_21(row):
...     return row['Age'] > 21
...
>>> for row in feature_class[age_over_21]:
...     print(row)
...
{'Name': 'John', 'Age': 23}
{'Name': 'Terry', 'Age': 42}
...
>>> for row in feature_class:
...     print(row)
...
{'Name': 'John', 'LastName': 'Cleese', 'Age': 23}
{'Name': 'Graham', 'LastName': 'Chapman', 'Age': 18}
{'Name': 'Terry', 'LastName': 'Gilliam', 'Age': 42}
...

Note

You can achieve field filtering using the FeatureClass.fields_as context manager as well. This method adds a level of indentation and can be more extensible:

Example:

>>> def age_over_21(row):
...     return row['Age'] > 21
...
>>> with feature_class.fields_as('Name', 'Age'):
...     for row in feature_class[age_over_21]:
...         print(row)
...
{'Name': 'John', 'Age': 23}
{'Name': 'Terry', 'Age': 42}
Since the inspected fields live in the same code block as the filter that uses them, you can easily add the fields in one place. This method is preferred for data manipulation operations while counting operations can use the decorated filter to cut down on boilerplate.

def filter_fields(*fields: FieldName):
    """Decorator for filter functions that limits fields checked by the SearchCursor

    Args:
        *fields (FieldName): Varargs for the fields to limit the filter to

    Returns:
        (FilterFunc): A filter function with a `fields` attribute added
        Used with FeatureClass.filter to limit columns

    Note:
        Iterating filtered rows using a decorated filter will limit available columns inside the 
        context of the filter. This should only be used if you need to improve performance of a 
        filter and don't care about the fields not included in the `filter_fields` decorator:

        Example:
            ```python
            >>> @filter_fields('Name', 'Age')
            >>> def age_over_21(row):
            ...     return row['Age'] > 21
            ...
            >>> for row in feature_class[age_over_21]:
            ...     print(row)
            ...
            {'Name': 'John', 'Age': 23}
            {'Name': 'Terry', 'Age': 42}
            ...
            >>> for row in feature_class:
            ...     print(row)
            ...
            {'Name': 'John', 'LastName': 'Cleese', 'Age': 23}
            {'Name': 'Graham', 'LastName': 'Chapman', 'Age': 18}
            {'Name': 'Terry', 'LastName': 'Gilliam', 'Age': 42}
            ...
            ```

    Note:
        You can achieve field filtering using the `FeatureClass.fields_as` context manager as well. 
        This method adds a level of indentation and can be more extensible:

        Example:
            ```python
            >>> def age_over_21(row):
            ...     return row['Age'] > 21
            ...
            >>> with feature_class.fields_as('Name', 'Age'):
            ...     for row in feature_class[age_over_21]:
            ...         print(row)
            ...
            {'Name': 'John', 'Age': 23}
            {'Name': 'Terry', 'Age': 42}
            ```
        Since the inspected fields live in the same code block as the filter that uses them, you can 
        easily add the fields in one place. This method is preferred for data manipulation operations 
        while counting operations can use the decorated filter to cut down on boilerplate.
