compendium :CompendiumCollection

A reference to the Compendium Collection which contains this Document, if any, otherwise undefined.

folder :Folder|null

Return a reference to the Folder to which this Document belongs, if any.

Type:
Example

A Document may belong to a Folder

let folder = game.folders.entities[0];
let actor = await Actor.create({name: "New Actor", folder: folder.id});
console.log(actor.data.folder); // folder.id;
console.log(actor.folder); // folder;

hasPlayerOwner :boolean

Test whether this Document is owned by any non-Gamemaster User.

Type:
  • boolean

isOwner :boolean

A boolean indicator for whether or not the current game User has ownership rights for this Document. Different Document types may have more specialized rules for what constitutes ownership.

Type:
  • boolean

limited :boolean

A boolean indicator for whether the current game User has exactly LIMITED visibility (and no greater).

Type:
  • boolean

Return a string which creates a dynamic link to this Document instance.

permission :number

Return the permission level that the current game User has over this Document. See the CONST.ENTITY_PERMISSIONS object for an enumeration of these levels.

Type:
  • number
Example
game.user.id; // "dkasjkkj23kjf"
actor.data.permission; // {default: 1, "dkasjkkj23kjf": 2};
actor.permission; // 2

sheet :FormApplication|null

Lazily obtain a FormApplication instance used to configure this Document, or null if no sheet is available.

Type:

uuid :string

A Universally Unique Identifier (uuid) for this Document instance.

Type:
  • string

visible :boolean

A boolean indicator for whether or not the current game User has at least limited visibility for this Document. Different Document types may have more specialized rules for what determines visibility.

Type:
  • boolean
