How to prevent a field from showing up

Question

I am using Objectionjs

In my Model, I have defined a password field.

I want to prevent this field from showing up for all queries - select, inserts, updates etc - that is, after making a query, I don't want this field to be present in the object returned

Is there a method on the model itself that I can use to do this or do I need to omit the field in each query that I make?

Answer 1

You can for example override $afterInsert, $afterUpdate, $afterGet and make sure that fields are deleted in those hooks.

If you just don't like that some fields are show when you are converting model to json, for example for returning model to client, then overriding $formatJson might be enough.
