Node module to mask various kinds of data in required formats

Package Exports

  • maskdata

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (maskdata) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

How to Use

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

Mask Phone Number

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const maskPhoneOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data
  // default value is '*'
  maskWith: "*",

  //Should be positive Integer
  // If the starting 'n' digits needs to be unmasked
  // Default value is 4
  unmaskedStartDigits: 5, 

  // Should be positive Integer
  //If the ending 'n' digits needs to be unmasked
  // Default value is 1
  unmaskedEndDigits: 1 
};

const phoneNumber = "+911234567890";

const maskedPhoneNumber = MaskData.maskPhone(phoneNumber, maskPhoneOptions);
//Output: +9112*******0

Mask Phone Number with the default configuration

To mask with the default options, dont pass the configurations.

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

/** Default Options
  maskWith: "*"
  unmaskedStartDigits: 4
  unmaskedEndDigits: 1 
**/
const phoneNumber = "+111234567890";

const maskedPhoneNumber = MaskData.maskPhone(phoneNumber);

//Output: +911********0

Mask Password

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const maskPasswordOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data
  // default value is '*'
  maskWith: "*",

  // To limit the *s in the response when the password length is more
  // Default value is 16
  maxMaskedCharacters: 16
};

const password = "Password1$";

const maskedPassword = MaskData.maskPassword(password, maskPasswordOptions);

//Output: **********

Mask Password with the default configuration

To mask with the default options, dont pass the configurations.

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

  /** Default Options
    maskWith: "*"
    maxMaskedCharacters: 16
  **/

const password = "Password1$";

const maskedPassword = MaskData.maskPassword(password)

Mask Email id

Use this method instead of maskEmail(). To mask with the default options, dont pass the configurations.

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const emailMask2Options = {
    maskWith: "*", 
    unmaskedStartCharactersBeforeAt: 3,
    unmaskedEndCharactersAfterAt: 2,
    maskAtTheRate: false
};

const email = "my.test.email@testEmail.com";

const maskedEmail = MaskData.maskEmail2(email, emailMask2Options);

//Output: my.********@**********om

Consider an email: abcd@email.com

Here,

  • number of characters before @ -> 4
  • number of characters after @ --> 9
  1. unmaskedStartCharactersBeforeAt --> number of starting characters (before @)not to be masked.
    • If unmaskedStartCharactersBeforeAt > number of characters before @, then it will not mask the characters before @
  2. unmaskedEndCharactersAfterAt --> number of characters not to be masked starting from the end till @.
    • If unmaskedEndCharactersAfterAt > number of characters after @, then it will not mask the characters after @

Mask only the characters before '@'

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const emailMask2Options = {
    maskWith: "*", 
    unmaskedStartCharactersBeforeAt: 0,
    unmaskedEndCharactersAfterAt: 257, // Give a number which is more than the characters after @
    maskAtTheRate: false
};

const email = "abcd@email.com";

const maskedEmail = MaskData.maskEmail2(email, emailMask2Options);

//Output: ****@email.com

Mask Email id with the default configuration

To mask with the default options, dont pass the configurations.

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

/** Default Options
    maskWith: "*", 
    unmaskedStartCharactersBeforeAt: 3,
    unmaskedEndCharactersAfterAt: 2,
    maskAtTheRate: false
**/
const email = "my.test.email@testEmail.com";

const maskedEmail = MaskData.maskEmail2(email);

//Output: my.********@**********om

Mask Email Id

Depricated method. Will be removed in next version. Start using maskEmail2 method

Mask the email id along with the required configurations

// Depricated method
const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const maskEmailOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data. Default value is '*'
  maskWith: "*",

  //Should be positive Integer
  // If the starting 'n' characters needs to be unmasked. Default value is 3
  unmaskedStartCharacters: 1, 

  //Should be positive Integer
  // If the ending 'n' characters needs to be unmasked. Default value is 2
  unmaskedEndCharacters: 2, 

  // Should be boolean
  //If '@' needs to be masked. Default value is false(Will not mask)
  maskAtTheRate: false, 

  //Should be positive Integer
  // To limit the *s in the response(Max *s before '@'). Default value is 10
  maxMaskedCharactersBeforeAtTheRate: 10, 

  //Should be positive Integer
  // To limit the *s in the response(Max *s after '@'). Default value is 10
  maxMaskedCharactersAfterAtTheRate: 10 
};

const email = "my.test.email@testEmail.com";

**Depricated method**
const maskedEmail = MaskData.maskEmail(email, maskEmailOptions);

//Output: m**********@**********om

Get Nested Json Property

This method returns the value of nested Json property if exists. Otherwise it returns undefined

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const innerPropety = Maskdata.getInnerProperty(object, field);

Example: 

const nestedObject = {
  level1: {
    field1: "field1",
    level2: {
      field2: "field2",
      level3: {
        field3: "field3",
        field4: [ { Hello: "world" }, { Hello: "Newworld" }, "Just a String" ]
      }
    }
  },
  value1: "value"
};

const innerPropety = Maskdata.getInnerProperty(nestedObject, 'level1.level2.level3.field4[0].Hello');

Replace the value of a json field

To replace a value by keeping the type.

const input = {
  name: "John",
  age: 33,
  married: true
}

console.log("Before replacing: " + JSON.stringify(input));
console.log("========================================");
let afterReplacing = MaskData.replaceValue(input, 'age', 99);
afterReplacing = MaskData.replaceValue(input, 'married', false);
console.log("After replacing: " + JSON.stringify(afterReplacing));
console.log("Type of age: "+ typeof(afterReplacing.age));
console.log("Type of married: "+ typeof(afterReplacing.married));

//Output: 

Before replacing: {"name":"John","age":33,"married":true}
========================================
After replacing: {"name":"John","age":99,"married":false}
Type of age: number
Type of married: boolean

Mask fields in a JSON

This method masks the field value if present in the given object

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const maskJSONOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data. Default value is '*'
  maskWith: "*",

  // It should be an array
  // Field names to mask. Can give multiple fields.
  fields: ['password', 'firstName'] 
};

const obj = {
  password: "IKnowNothing",
  firstName: "Jon",
  lastName: "Snoww"
};
const maskedObj = MaskData.maskJSONFields(obj, maskJSONOptions);

//Output: { password: '************', firstName: '***', lastName: 'Snoww' }

Mask fields of a nested Object

This method masks the field value if present in the given object

The masked value type will always be string. Won't mask if the value is null.

If the field doesn't exist or if there is any syntax error, then it will ignore without throwing any error.

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const maskJSONOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data. Default value is '*'
  maskWith: "*",

  // It should be an array
  // Field names to mask. Can give multiple fields.
  fields : [ 'level1.level2.level3.field3', 
  'level1.level2.field2', 
  'level1.field1', 
  'value1', 
  'level1.level2.level3.field4[0].Hello', 
  'level1.level2.level3.field4[2]']
};

const nestedObject = {
  level1: {
    field1: "field1",
    level2: {
      field2: "field2",
      level3: {
        field3: "field3",
        field4: [{ Hello: "world" }, { Hello: "Newworld" }, "Just a String"]
      }
    }
  },
  value1: "value"
};
const maskedObj = MaskData.maskJSONFields(nestedObject, defaultJSONMaskOptions2);

//Output: 
{"level1":{"field1":"******","level2":{"field2":"******","level3":{"field3":"******","field4":[{"Hello":null},{"Hello":"Newworld"},"*************"]}}},"value1":"*****"}

Example2: To mask all the keys of an object or to mask a field from all the elements of an array.

Limititions: 
1. Only one * is allowed per field. Either ARRAY[*].FIELD or JSON.* 
2. It will not work for the nested fields like ARRAY[*].FIELD1.FIELD2
3. It will not mask all array elements if given ARRAY[*] or ARRAY[*].
4. Will not mask null values.
5. If ARRAY[*].FIELD is an object, then it will mask that entire object include key.

const nestedObject = {
  level1: {
    field1: "field1Value",
    level2: {
      field2: "field2Value",
      field3: [ { Hello: "Hello", Hi: "one" }, { Hello: "Hello again" } ],
      level3: {
        field4: "field4Value",
        field5: "field5Value"
      }
    }
  },
  value1: "value"
};

const maskAllFields = {
  fields : ['level1.level2.field3[*].Hello', 'level1.level2.level3.*']
};

const maskedObject = MaskData.maskJSONFields(nestedObject, maskAllFields);

// Output: 
{"level1":{"field1":"field1Value","level2":{"field2":"field2Value","field3":[{"Hello":"*****","Hi":"one"},{"Hello":"***********"}],"level3":{"field4":"***********","field5":"***********"}}},"value1":"value"}

Mask the exact substring from throughout the string

This will mask the field value if present in the given object

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const maskStringOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data. Default value is '*'
  maskWith: "*",

  // It should be an array of strings
  // Field names to mask. Can give multiple fields.
  values: ['is', 'test'], 

  // Should be boolean
  // If to mask only the first occurance of each value in the given string
  maskOnlyFirstOccurance: false
};

const str = "This is a test String";

const strAfterMasking = MaskData.maskString(str, maskStringOptions);

//Output: Th** ** a **** String

Mask card number

This will mask the card numbers

const MaskData = require('./maskdata');

const maskCardOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data. Default value is 'X'
  maskWith: "X",

  // Should be positive Integer
  // If the starting 'n' numbers needs to be unmasked
  // Default value is 4
  unmaskedStartDigits: 4, 
  
  //Should be positive Integer
  //If the ending 'n' numbers needs to be unmasked
  // Default value is 1. 
  // Max possible value is 4
  unmaskedEndDigits: 1 
};

const cardNumber = "1234-5678-1234-5678";

const cardAfterMasking = MaskData.maskCard(cardNumber, maskCardOptions);

//Output: 1234-XXXX-XXXX-XXX8
