class QgsField
{
%Docstring
Encapsulate a field in an attribute table or data source.
QgsField stores metadata about an attribute field, including name, type
length, and if applicable, precision.

.. note::

   QgsField objects are implicitly shared.

%Docstring
Constructor. Constructs a new QgsField object.

:param name: Field name
:param type: Field variant type, currently supported: String / Int / Double
:param typeName: Field type (e.g., char, varchar, text, int, serial, double).
                 Field types are usually unique to the source and are stored exactly
                 as returned from the data store.
:param len: Field length
:param prec: Field precision. Usually decimal places but may also be
             used in conjunction with other fields types (e.g., variable character fields)
:param comment: Comment for the field
:param subType: If the field is a collection, its element's type. When
                all the elements don't need to have the same type, leave
                this to QVariant.Invalid.

Returns the name of the field.

Returns the name to use when displaying this field. This will be the
field alias if set, otherwise the field name.

If the field is a collection, gets its element's type.
When all the elements don't need to have the same type, this returns
QVariant.Invalid.

%End

    QString typeName() const;
%Docstring
Gets the field type. Field types vary depending on the data source. Examples
are char, int, double, blob, geometry, etc. The type is stored exactly as
the data store reports it, with no attempt to standardize the value.

    int length() const;
%Docstring
Gets the length of the field.

:return: int containing the length of the field
%End

    int precision() const;

%End

    QString comment() const;
%Docstring
Returns the field comment
%End

%Docstring
Returns if this field is numeric. Any integer or floating point type
will return true for this.

Set variant type.
%End

    void setSubType( QVariant::Type subType );
%Docstring
If the field is a collection, set its element's type.
When all the elements don't need to have the same type, set this to
QVariant.Invalid.

%Docstring
Set the field type.

:param typeName: Field type
%End

    void setLength( int len );
%Docstring
Set the field length.

%Docstring
Set the field precision.

:param precision: Precision of the field
%End

    void setComment( const QString &comment );
%Docstring
Set the field comment
%End

    QgsDefaultValue defaultValueDefinition() const;
%Docstring
Returns the expression used when calculating the default value for the field.

%End

    void setDefaultValueDefinition( const QgsDefaultValue &defaultValueDefinition );
%Docstring
Sets an expression to use when calculating the default value for the field.

:param defaultValueDefinition: expression to evaluate when calculating default values for field. Pass
                               a default constructed :py:class:`QgsDefaultValue`() to reset.

    QString alias() const;
%Docstring
Returns the alias for the field (the friendly displayed name of the field ),
or an empty string if there is no alias.

.. seealso:: :py:func:`setAlias`

.. versionadded:: 3.0
%End

    void setAlias( const QString &alias );
