How to remove items from the admin bar

Question

The Apostrophe CMS is clear enough on how to add items to the admin bar.

I am trying to remove items (some pieces that we have created) so that we can choose who sees what.

I tried setting an empty array to remove every object

'apostrophe-admin-bar': {
  items: [],
  ...
}

to no avail.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Answer 1

A colleague and I figured it out. In the index.js of the piece, add this:

construct(self, options) {
  if (self.name === 'pieceNameGoesHere' {
    self.addToAdminBar = Function.prototype;
  }
}
