desensitivize
A library for redacting sensitive info from data containers
Usage
Sensify works by parsing struct tags. In order to remove sensitive data from your structs they need to have a sensitive tag. Note that the value of the tag is irrelevant.
Constraints
The library works with all kinds of data containers: structs, slices, arrays, maps and pointers to these containers. Passing other type of data would result in a overhead due to making a copy of the object.
Example
type SomeStruct struct {
FieldA string
FieldB string `sensitive:"-"`
}
func doStuff(someStruct SomeStruct) {
fmt.Println(someStruct)
removedSensitiveDataStruct := desensitivize.Redact(someStruct)
fmt.Println(removedSensitiveDataStruct)
fmt.Println(someStruct)
}
func main() {
someStruct := SomeStruct{
FieldA: "field A data",
FieldB: "field B sensitive data",
}
doStuff(someStruct)
}
The output of the following code would be the following one
{field A data field B sensitive data}
{field A data }
{field A data field B sensitive data}
Beware
If you pass a map with struct keys which struct has fields marked as sensitive it would redact the keys too which may lead to collisions and loss of data
NOTE
This package is still in experimental stage and may occasionally throw a panic
