class QgsField

%Docstring(signature="appended")
Encapsulate a field in an attribute table or data source.

:py:class:`QgsField` stores metadata about an attribute field, including
name, type length, and if applicable, precision.

.. note::

   :py:class:`QgsField` objects are implicitly shared.

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)

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

%End

    QString displayNameWithAlias() const /HoldGIL/;
%Docstring
Returns the name to use when displaying this field and adds the alias in
parenthesis if it is defined.

This will be used when working close to the data structure (i.e.
building expressions and queries), when the real field name must be
shown but the alias is also useful to understand what the field
represents.

%End

    QString displayType( bool showConstraints = false ) const /HoldGIL/;

%Docstring
Gets the length of the field.
