columns.render multiple object properties from one-to-many join

Re: https://editor.datatables.net/manual/php/array-joins#Client-side

{ data: "access", render: "[, ].name" }

This renders only the name property of each object in the array.
How to simply render multiple properties of each object in the array?

Example: I want to render:
name, description, comment
for each object, and separate the array objects with two break tags.

You would need to use a function for columns.render and loop over the data array, building the string you want.

For example:

data: "access",
render: function ( data, type, full ) {
  return $.map( data, function ( d, i ) {
    return d.name +' '+ d.description;
  } ).join( ', ' );
}
