# apex:remoteObjectField

Defines the fields to load for an sObject. Fields defined using this component, instead of the `fields` attribute of `<apex:remoteObjectModel>`, can have a shorthand name, which allows the use of a "nickname" for the field in client-side JavaScript code, instead of the full API name. Use as child of `<apex:remoteObjectModel>`.
