HideAttributes

This plugin generates wrappers to to_xml and to_json methods to automatically exclude attributes such as passwords from output.

Example

To auto-hide password fields from generated JSON output, add this to your model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

hide_attributes :password, :password_salt

end

Then use as usual:

user = User.first

# Output user's JSON without hidden attributes present
user.to_json

# Temporarly override hiding and output all attributes
user.to_json :except => nil

INSTALL

To install simply add it to your Gemfile

gem 'hide_attributes'
