[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: pagetitle
	}`
]]

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceId: 7
		resourceFields: introtext
	}`
	&outputterParams=`{
		tpl: testChunk
	}`
]]

testChunk code:

<div class="test">[+introtext+]</div>

<title>[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: longtitle
		resourceFieldsAlternative: pagetitle
	}`
]]</title>

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceId: 7
		resourceFields: phone1,phone2
	}`
	&outputterParams=`{
		docFieldsGlue: ", "
	}`
]]

For example, we are getting something with the Ditto snippet. Into Ditto chunk outputterParams->tpl we need to get phone number & fax, if phone is not empty or nothing. Chunk code:

<div class="test_row">
	[+content+]
	[[ddGetDocumentField?
		&dataProviderParams=`{
			resourceId: "[+id+]"
			resourceFields: phone
		}`
		&outputterParams=`{
			tpl: test_row_phone
			placeholders: {
				fax: "[+fax+]"
				someTitle: Call me!
			}
		}`
	]]
</div>

The test_row_phone chunk code:

<p class="phone" title="[+someTitle+]">[+phone+], [+fax+]</p>

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: pagetitle=title,pub_date=date
	}`
	&outputterParams=`{
		tpl: testChunk
	}`
]]

The testChunk chunk code:

<p>[+title+], [+date+]</p>

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: pagetitle=title,introtext=text,content
	}`
	&outputter=`object`
]]

Returns:

{
	"title": "The title of a document",
	"text": "The annotation",
	"content": "The content"
}

Let that document pagetitle is set and longtitle is empty.

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: pagetitle,longtitle
	}`
	&outputter=`object`
]]

Returns:

{
	"pagetitle": "The title of a document",
	"longtitle": ""
}

If fields with empty values is no needed, just set outputterParams->removeEmptyFields to true:

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: pagetitle,longtitle
	}`
	&outputter=`object`
	&outputterParams=`{
		removeEmptyFields: true
	}`
]]

Returns:

{
	"pagetitle": "The title of a document"
}

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: pagetitle,longtitle
	}`
	&outputter=`object`
	&outputterParams=`{
		format: stringJsonArray
	}`
]]

Returns:

[
	"The title of a document",
	"The long title of a document"
]

[[ddGetDocumentField?
	&dataProviderParams=`{
		resourceFields: pagetitle,id=link
	}`
	&outputter=`object`
	&outputterParams=`{
		templates: {
			pagetitle: <h1>[+value+]</h1>
			link:
				'''
				<a href="[~[+value+]~]">[+pagetitle+]</a>
				'''
		}
	}`
]]

Returns:

{
	"pagetitle": "<h1>KINO</h1>",
	"link": "<a href=\"bands/timeless/kino\">KINO</a>"
}
