Mongoose plugin to provide private fields functionality

Installation

Documentation

Enable plugin for model

var privates = require('mongoose-private');
 
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
 
var AppleSchema = new Schema({
  code: { type: Number, private: true},
  color: String
});
 
AppleSchema.plugin(privates, schemaOptions);
mongoose.model('Apples', AppleSchema, 'Apples');

There are 3 possible ways of usage

1. Via Model method toJSON
   • explicit

       var apple = new Apple({code:0x63, color: 'red'});
       var json = apple.toJSON(options); //{color: 'red'}

   • implicit

       var apple = new Apple({code:0x64, color: 'green'});
       var jsonString = JSON.stringify(apple); //"{"color":"green"}"

2. Via omitPrivatePaths static schema method

       var apple = {code:0x65, color: 'yellow'};
       var json = Apple.omitPrivatePaths(apple); //{color: 'yellow'}

3. Via toProjection static schema method

       Apple.findOne({color: 'red'}, Apple.toProjection(options))
           .lean().exec(fn);
       Bucket.find({}, Bucket.toProjection())
           .populate('apples', Apple.toProjection(options))
           .lean().exec(fn);

Possible options

1. You can provide options in method call

   • omit: String or Array - if you need to omit in JSON any additional field
   • pick: String or Array - if you need to include in JSON any additional field

       var apple = new Apple({code:0x63, color: 'red'});
       var json = apple.toJSON({omit:['color'], pick:['code']}); //{code: '0x63'}

2. You can provide options at schema level

   ApplesSchema.plugin(privates, schemaOptions);
