tuple_object[field-name]

object tuple_object¶

<tuple_object>[field-name]¶

If t is a tuple instance, t['field-name'] will return the field named ‘field-name’ in the tuple. Fields have names if the tuple has been retrieved from a space that has an associated format. t[lua-variable-name] will do the same thing if lua-variable-name contains 'field-name'.

There is a variation which the Lua manual calls “syntactic sugar”: use t.field-name as an equivalent of t['field-name'].

Return:	field value.
Rtype:	lua-value

In the following example, a tuple named t is returned from replace and then the second field in t named ‘field2’ is returned.

tarantool> format = {}
---
...
tarantool> format[1] = {name = 'field1', type = 'unsigned'}
---
...
tarantool> format[2] = {name = 'field2', type = 'string'}
---
...
tarantool> s = box.schema.space.create('test', {format = format})
---
...
tarantool> pk = s:create_index('pk')
---
...
tarantool> t = s:replace{1, 'Я'}
---
...
tarantool> t['field2']
---
- Я
...
