# `[]`

- Operator of Record

The “get-item” operator is used to look up a field from a record. Within templates attribute access automatically falls back to this operator which is why you can typically access `foo.bar` instead of `foo['bar']` unless a conflict with a record property exists.

All available fields can be accessed this way (model defined fields as well as system fields which are prefixed by an underscore).

## Example

    for child in this.children:
        print('ID: %s' % child['_id'])
