# koa-json-mask
Middleware allowing the client to mask / filter the response to only what they need,
reducing the amount of traffic over the wire using the `?fields=foo,bar,baz`
querystring parameter.
If you've used the Google APIs, provided a `?fields=` query-string to get a
[Partial Response](https://developers.google.com/+/api/#partial-responses),
and wanted to do the same for your own server, you can do so with this
middleware.
The difference between `koa-json-filter` and `koa-json-mask` is that this middleware
supports filtering parts deep within objects. If you only need to be able to
filter top-level params of objects in the response use `filter`, and if you need
more power user `mask`.
_Underneath, this middleware uses [json-mask](https://github.com/nemtsov/json-mask).
Use it directly without this middleware if you need more flexibility._
## Installation
```
$ npm install koa-json-mask
```
In order to use this plugin with the previous version of Koa using generator functions, please use version `0.3.2`
```
$ npm install [email protected]
```
## Options
* `name` querystring param name defaulting to "fields"
## Example
### Object responses
Script:
```js
const Koa = require('koa');
const mask = require('koa-json-mask');
const app = new Koa();
app.use(mask());
app.use(async ctx => {
ctx.body = {
name: 'tobi',
packages: 5,
friends: ['abby', 'loki', 'jane'],
location: {
id: '342',
name: 'London'
}
};
});
app.listen(3000);
console.log('app listening on port 3000');
```
Response:
```
$ GET /?fields=name,location/name
{
"name": "tobi",
"location": {
"name": "London"
}
}
```
### Array responses
Script:
```js
const Koa = require('koa');
const mask = require('koa-json-mask');
const app = new Koa();
app.use(mask());
app.use(async ctx => {
ctx.body = [
{
name: 'tobi',
packages: 5,
friends: ['abby', 'loki', 'jane'],
location: {
id: '342',
name: 'London'
}
},
{
name: 'loki',
packages: 2,
friends: ['loki', 'jane'],
location: {
id: '62',
name: 'New York'
}
}
];
});
app.listen(3000);
console.log('app listening on port 3000');
```
Response:
```
$ GET /?fields=name,location/name
[
{
"name": "tobi",
"location": {
"name": "London"
}
},
{
"name": "loki",
"location": {
"name": "New York"
}
}
]
```
## Syntax
The syntax is loosely based on XPath:
* `a,b,c` comma-separated list will select multiple fields
* `a/b/c` path will select a field from its parent
* `a(b,c)` sub-selection will select many fields from a parent
* `a/*/c` the star `*` wildcard will select all items in a field
