Object attribute & mongoDB field hider
ever wanted to dynamically hide fields from objects (plain JS or mongoDB results)?
https://gist.github.com/johannesboyne/4715413
// this is used to work in Node.js
// if you want to use it inside the browser, replace the map function to ensure older browser support.
// DEPENDENCIES: underscore!
function omitFields (model, hidden_fields) {
var hider_code = 'return _.omit(model';
hidden_fields.map(function (hider) {
hider_code += ', \''+hider+'\'';
});
hider_code += ');';
return new Function('_', 'model', hider_code)(_, model);
}
// use
omitFields({name: "Mr. Johnson", password: "PWHASH", secret: "mystery"}, ['password', 'secret']);
// => return: {name: "Mr. Johnson"}Written by Johannes Boyne
