loopback-visible-properties-mixin
===============

 

Loopback mixin hidden all models properties and allow setup what should be visibles.

Installation

npm install loopback-visible-properties-mixin --save

Usage

Add the mixins property to your server/model-config.json:

``json
{
"_meta": {
"sources": [
"loopback/common/models",
"loopback/server/models",
"../common/models",
"./models"
],
"mixins": [
"loopback/common/mixins",
"../node_modules/loopback-visible-properties-mixin",
"../common/mixins"
]
}
}
`

Add mixin params in in model definition. Example:
`
{
"name": "Person",
"properties": {
"firstName": "string",
"lastName": "string",
"email": "string",
},
"relaions": {
"siblings": {
"type": "referencesMany",
"model": "Person",
"foreignKey": "siblingsIds"
},
"mother": {
"type": "belongsTo",
"model": "Person",
"foreignKey": ""
},
"father": {
"type": "belongsTo",
"model": "Person",
"foreignKey": ""
},
"couple": {
"type": "belongsTo",
"model": "Person",
"foreignKey": ""
},
"children": {
"type": "hasMany",
"model": "Person",
foreignKey: "motherId"
},
},
"mixins": {
"VisibleProperties": {
"fields": {
"firstName": true,
"lastName": true,
"email": false,
"mother": true,
"motherId": false,
"father": true,
"fatherId": false,
"siblings": true,
"siblingsIds": false,
"children": true
}
}
}
}
`

You can setup this mixin with a array of visible properties too. Example:
`
{
"name": "Person",
...
"mixins": {
"VisibleProperties": {
"fields": [
"firstName",
"lastName",
"mother",
"father",
"siblings",
"children",
]
}
}
}
`

In the above definitions, the attributes id, couple and coupleId will not be visible in remote responses because they were ignored and email, motherId, fatherId and siblingsIds will not be visible because they were set false.
