Object redactor
npm install redact-object 
A javascript object redactor. So I like to output any configurations when my app starts up. Problem is if you have any passwords or other info you don't want in the log you have to clear it out beforehand.
Pass in an object and an array of members you want to redact. It will recursively travel the object redacting any matching members.
``javascript
const redact = require('redact-object');
var obj = {
foo: 'bar',
fizz: {
foo: 'oof',
key: 'value'
},
buzz: [
// it can do arrays too
{ foo: 'bar' },
22
]
};
/**
* Results in:
* {
* foo: '[ REDACTED ]',
* fizz: {
* foo: '[ REDACTED ]',
* key: 'value'
* },
* buzz: [
* // it can do arrays too
* { foo: '[ REDACTED ]' },
* 22
* ]
* }
*/
console.dir(redact(obj, ['foo']));
`
- {object} target The target object to scan for redactable itemskeywords
- {string[]} A list of members to redactreplaceVal
- {string|Function} Optional custom replace value, or function that returns replace value. Default value is [ REDACTED ]config
- {object} Option object of config settings:
- partial: boolean, will do partial matching if true, Default _true_
- strict: boolean, will do strict comparison (case sensitive) if true, Default _true_
- ignoreUnknown: boolean, will do strict comparison (case sensitive) if true, Default _false_
replaceVal can be a function. This function will get two arguments (value, key):
- value: The value of the objectkey
- : The matched key
Your function's return will replace the value on the new object
#### Example
`javascript
const obj = {
firstname: 'Han',
lastname: 'Solo',
};
const replacer = val => [ REDACTED (${val.length}) ];
const redacted = redact(obj, ['firstname', 'lastname'], replacer);
/**
* Results in:
* {
* firstname: '[ REDACTED (3) ]',
* lastname: '[ REDACTED (4) ]',
* };
*/
