How do I create getter and setter overrides?

Question

I'd like to encrypt fields similar to this example with mongoose: https://gist.github.com/kljensen/7505729

The code in the above link maps a field to a custom decrypt() function for get and an encrypt() function for set.

This causes the plain text value to be encrypted when saved, and decrypted when retrieved.

How would I override getters and setters for a model property in Loopback?

Answer 1

You can set up setter and getter as follows:

<Model>.setter['myProp'] = function(val) {};

See an example in LoopBack's common/models/user.js
