# Accessors

# commentData

• get commentData(): undefined | null | string | number | boolean | JSONObject | JSONArray

Data which is extracted from database object's comment. Data is extracted from text between special case-insensitive tag (default: [pg-structure][/pg-structure]) and converted to JavaScript object using JSON5 (opens new window). Token name can be specified by using commentDataToken arguments. For details of JSON5 (opens new window), see it's web site: https://json5.org (opens new window).

# Example

// "Account details. [pg-structure]{ extraData: 2 }[/pg-structure] Also used for logging."
table.comment;               // "Account details. [pg-structure]{ extraData: 2 }[/pg-structure] Also used for logging."
table.commentWithoutData;    // "Account details.  Also used for logging."
table.commentData;           // { extraData: 2 }
table.commentData.extraData; // 2

Returns: undefined | null | string | number | boolean | JSONObject | JSONArray

Defined in: pg-structure/base/db-object.ts:102


# commentWithoutData

• get commentWithoutData(): undefined | string

Description or comment of the database object defined in database. If comment contains {@link DbObject#commentData comment data}, it is removed.

# Example

// "Account details. [pg-structure]{ extraData: 2 }[/pg-structure] Also used for logging."
table.commentWithoutData;    // "Account details.  Also used for logging."

Returns: undefined | string

Defined in: pg-structure/base/db-object.ts:85
