Boolean input in Python 3 Script?

Question

in QGIS 2.18 I had this script

##formula_1=boolean
##formula_2=boolean
##formula_3=boolean
##result=output string
if formula_1 == True:
 result= 1
elif formula_2 == True:
 result= 2
elif formula_3 == True:
 result= 3
else:
 result= 4

So I can fill a string based on the selected Check Box. Now, in QGIS 3.4, How can I create a script to do the same?

Answer 1

Check the Join attributes by location script on QGIS GitHub. You can see from the script how to effectively add boolean check boxes. I think the most important part to extract from the script is the following (edited the names slightly):

class ExampleProcessingAlgorithm(QgsProcessingAlgorithm):
 PREDICATE = "PREDICATE"
 def initAlgorithm(self, config=None):
 self.predicates = (
 ('Option 1', self.tr('Option 1')),
 ('Option 2', self.tr('Option 2')),
 ('Option 3', self.tr('Option 3'))
 )
 predicate = QgsProcessingParameterEnum(self.PREDICATE,
 self.tr('Settings'),
 options=[p[1] for p in self.predicates],
 allowMultiple=True, defaultValue=[0])
 predicate.setMetadata({
 'widget_wrapper': {
 'class': 'processing.gui.wrappers.EnumWidgetWrapper',
 'useCheckBoxes': True,
 'columns': 2}})
 self.addParameter(predicate)
 def processAlgorithm(self, parameters, context, feedback): 
 options = [self.predicates[i][0] for i in
 self.parameterAsEnums(parameters, self.PREDICATE, context)]
 if 'Option 1' in options:
 print('Do something')

Boolean script

Solution find. EDIT

This script does what was requested, it can only be used in the Modeler.

from PyQt5.QtCore import QCoreApplication

 def tr(self, string):
 return QCoreApplication.translate('Processing', string)
 def createInstance(self):

 return 'Boolean'
 def displayName(self):
 return self.tr('Boolean')
 def group(self):

 return 'Boolean'
 def shortHelpString(self):
 return self.tr("Example algorithm short description")
 def initAlgorithm(self, config=None):
 self.addOutput(QgsProcessingOutputString(self.EXPRESSIONOUT, self.tr('OUT')))
 self.addParameter(QgsProcessingParameterBoolean(self.BOOLEAN1,
 self.tr('Option 1'),
 defaultValue=False))
 self.addParameter(QgsProcessingParameterBoolean(self.BOOLEAN2,
 self.tr('Option 2'),
 defaultValue=False))
 self.addParameter(QgsProcessingParameterBoolean(self.BOOLEAN3,
 self.tr('Option 3'),
 defaultValue=False))
 def processAlgorithm(self, parameters, context, feedback): 
 atOUT = 'start' 
 BOOLEAN1 = self.parameterAsBool(parameters, self.BOOLEAN1, context)
 BOOLEAN2 = self.parameterAsBool(parameters, self.BOOLEAN2, context)
 BOOLEAN3 = self.parameterAsBool(parameters, self.BOOLEAN3, context)
 if BOOLEAN1==True:
 OUT = '1' 
 if BOOLEAN2==True:
 OUT = '2' 
 if BOOLEAN3==True:
 OUT = '3' 
 return {self.EXPRESSIONOUT: OUT}

enter image description here

It receive three boolean as input and has a string as output that fit in a Field Calculator for example.

Hope it helps someone else.
