- Deprecated *maskJsonFields*(For documentation on the maskJsonFields, check previous version README.md files) function and will be removed in the subsequent versions. Use *maksJson2* instead: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur#mask-json

# How to Use
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');
```

<br/>

## Maskdata for Typescript
> Follow this document for more details: 
[Maskdata for typescript](./MASKDATA_FOR_TYPESCRIPT.md)

<br/>

## Mask card number
This will mask the digits in a card number.<br/>This will mask only the numerical data and not any non-numeric delimiters, alphabets, or any other types of data
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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

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

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

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

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

//Output: 1234-****-****-***8

```


## Mask Email id
Use this method instead of maskEmail(). To mask with the default options, don't pass the configurations.
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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 '@' 
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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, don't pass the configurations.
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

/** 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 JSON
This is the new functionality in version 1.2.0+ to handle masking of multiple types of data in the JSON object with a single mask function call. 

```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

// Default configs are as below. If specific masking changes are needed, use the corresponding configs for each type of field.
const defaultjsonMask2Configs = {
    cardMaskOptions: defaultCardMaskOptions, // Optional 
    cardFields: [], // List of card fields to be masked

    emailMaskOptions: defaultEmailMask2Options, // Optional 
    emailFields: [], // List of email fields to be masked

    // For passwords, tokens, etc...
    passwordMaskOptions: defaultPasswordMaskOptions, // Optional 
    passwordFields: [], // List of password fields to be masked

    phoneMaskOptions: defaultPhoneMaskOptions, // Optional 
    phoneFields: [], // List of phone fields to be masked

    stringMaskOptions:  defaultStringMaskOptions, // Mandatory if stringFields are given. Otherwise, stringFields won't be masked
    stringFields: [], // List of String fields to be masked

    uuidMaskOptions: defaultUuidMaskOptions, // Optional 
    uuidFields: [], // List of UUID fields to be masked

    jwtMaskOptions: defaultJwtMaskOptions, // Optional 
    jwtFields: [], // List of JWT fields to be masked

    genericStrings: [
      {
        config: defaultStringMaskV2Options,
        fields: []
      }
    ]
};
```

    // JWT
    jwtMaskOptions: { maskWith: '*', maxMaskedCharacters: 512, maskDot: true, maskHeader: true, maskPayload: true, maskSignature: true},
    jwtFields: ['jwt']
};

const maskedJsonOutput2 = MaskData.maskJSON2(jsonInput2, jsonMaskConfig2);
// OUTPUT:

  jwt: '*********************************************************************************************************'
}

```
## Mask Password
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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,

  // To show(not mask) first 'n' characters in the password/secret key. 
  // Default value is 0. 
  unmaskedStartCharacters: 0,

  // To show(not mask) last 'n' characters in the password/secret key. 
  // Default value is 0. 
  unmaskedEndCharacters: 0
};

const password = "Password1$";

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

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

## Mask Password with the default configuration
To mask with the default options, don't pass the configurations.
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

  /** Default Options
    maskWith: "*"
    maxMaskedCharacters: 16,
    unmaskedStartCharacters: 0,
    unmaskedEndCharacters: 0
  **/

const password = "Password1$";

const maskedPassword = MaskData.maskPassword(password)

```

#### Example: Mask password OR secretKey with some meta info at the end

```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

const maskPasswordOptions = {
  maskWith: "X",
  maxMaskedCharacters: 20, // To limit the output String length to 20.
  unmaskedStartCharacters: 4,
  unmaskedEndCharacters: 9 // As the last 9 characters of the secret key is meta info which can be printed for debugging or other purposes
};

const password = "TEST:U2VjcmV0S2V5MQ==:CLIENT-A";

const maskedPassword = MaskData.maskPassword(password, maskPasswordOptions);
//Output: TESTXXXXXXX:CLIENT-A

maskPasswordOptions.unmaskedStartCharacters = 0;

const maskedPassword = MaskData.maskPassword(password, maskPasswordOptions);
//Output: XXXXXXXXXXX:CLIENT-A
```


## Mask Phone Number
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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

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

  // Should be positive Integer
  //If the ending 'n' digits need 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, don't pass the configurations.
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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

const maskedPhoneNumber = MaskData.maskPhone(phoneNumber);

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

```
## Generic string masking
This functionality can be used to mask any string with the below configs.
#### Example1
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

const defaultStringMaskV2Options = {
  // Character to mask the data
  // default value is '*'
  maskWith: "*",

  // This is to limit the maximun characters in the output.
  // Default value is 256
  maxMaskedCharacters: 256,

  // To show(not mask) first 'n' characters of the string.
  // Default value is 0. 
  unmaskedStartCharacters: 0,

  // To show(not mask) last 'n' characters of the string.
  // Default value is 0. 
  unmaskedEndCharacters: 0
};

const string1 = "Password1$";

const maskedString = MaskData.maskStringV2(string1, defaultStringMaskV2Options);

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

#### Example2

```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

const stringMaskV2Options = {
  maskWith: "X",
  maxMaskedCharacters: 20, // To limit the output length to 20.
  unmaskedStartCharacters: 4,
  unmaskedEndCharacters: 9
};

const secret = "TEST:U2VjcmV0S2V5MQ==:CLIENT-A";

const maskedSecret = MaskData.maskStringV2(password, stringMaskV2Options);
//Output: TESTXXXXXXX:CLIENT-A

stringMaskV2Options.unmaskedStartCharacters = 0;

maskedSecret = MaskData.maskStringV2(password, stringMaskV2Options);
//Output: XXXXXXXXXXX:CLIENT-A
```

## Mask the characters or words in the string
This will mask the characters or words if present in the given string.
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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

  /** 
   * It is the words/substrings to mask. 
   * Should be an array of strings.
   * Can give multiple words/substrings.
   * values[] can be used only when maskAll is false. If maskAll is true, then this is of no use.
  */
  values: ['is', 'test'], 

  /** 
   * If to mask only the first occurrence of each word/substring in the given string
   * Should be boolean
   * Default value is false
  */
  maskOnlyFirstOccurance: false,

  /** 
   * If to mask all the characters in a string make maskAll: true
   * If maskAll is true, the words/substrings inside values[] will not be considered. 
   * Default value is false
  */
  maskAll: false,

  /** 
   * This is to mask/not mask the spaces in a string when masking all the characters.
   * Can be used ONLY when maskAll: true
   * If maskSpace is false, the spaces in the string will not be masked.
   * This feature is to know the words and each word's length but to hide the content
   * Default value is true
  */
  maskSpace: true
};

const str = "This is a test String";

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

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

```

### Mask all characters in the String
```javascript
const str = "This is a test String";

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

const stringMaskOptions = {
  maskWith: "*",
  values: [],
  maskAll: true,
  maskSpace: false   // Maks all characters except spaces
};

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

const str = "This is a test String";

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

const stringMaskOptions = {
  maskWith: "*",
  values: [],
  maskAll: true,
  maskSpace: true   // Mask all characters including spaces
};

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

```


## Mask UUID
This will mask the alphanumeric characters in a UUID.<br/>This will not mask the hyphen present in the UUID. Masking is done, only when the input is a valid UUID with only a-f, A-F, and 0-9 and has 36 characters (32 alphanumerics + 4 hyphens, and should work with the <b>regex:</b> 
> /[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}/g;). 

If the input is not a valid UUID, it will return the input itself without masking.
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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

  // Should be a positive Integer <= 32
  // If the starting 'n' alphanumeric characters need to be visible/unmasked
  // Default value is 0
  unmaskedStartCharacters: 0, 
  
  //Should be a positive Integer <= 32
  //If the ending 'n' alphanumeric characters need to be visible/unmasked
  // Default value is 0 
  unmaskedEndCharacters: 0
};

const uuidInput = "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000";

const uuidAfterMasking = MaskData.maskUuid(uuidInput, maskUuidOptions);

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

```

## Mask JWT Token
This function returns the masked JWT tokens. A JWT token consists of 3 parts separated by 2 dots. i.e, `{header}.{payload}.{signature}`. Based on the usecase, we will have to mask/keep a part/s of jwt token. With @hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur you can mask JWT tokens with all possible combinations. 
If the input is null, undefined, non-string, string with length < 5, doesn't contain 2 dots(invalid JWT format), the function will return the input as it is without masking.

```javascript

const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

const jwtMaskOptions = {
  // Character to mask the data. The default value is '*'
  maskWith: '*',

  // Max masked characters in the output(EXCLUDING the unmasked characters). Default value is 512
  maxMaskedCharacters: 512,

  // Config to mask OR keep the dots(.). Default value is true, i.e, mask dots
  maskDot: true,

  // Config to mask OR keep the first part of the JWT. i.e, the header part. Default value is true, i.e, mask the header part
  maskHeader: true,

  // Config to mask OR keep the second part of the JWT. i.e, the payload part. Default value is true, i.e, mask the payload part
  maskPayload: true,

  // Config to mask OR keep the third part of the JWT. i.e, the signature part. Default value is true, i.e, mask the signature part
  maskSignature: true
};

const jwt =
  'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ';

/** In this example,
 * Header = eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9
 * Payload = eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9
 * Signature = tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ
 */ 
const maskedJwt = MaskData.maskJwt(jwt, jwtMaskOptions);

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

```

#### Example: Mask only the signature part

```javascript

const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

const jwtMaskOptions = {
  maskWith: '*',
  maxMaskedCharacters: 512,
  maskDot: false,
  maskHeader: false,
  maskPayload: false,
  maskSignature: true
};

const jwt =
  'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ';

/** In this example,
 * Header = eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9
 * Payload = eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9
 * Signature = tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ
 */ 
const maskedJwt = MaskData.maskJwt(jwt, jwtMaskOptions);

// Output:
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.*******************************************

```

#### Example: Mask header and the signature part

```javascript

const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

const jwtMaskOptions = {
  maskWith: '*',
  maxMaskedCharacters: 512,
  maskDot: false,
  maskHeader: true,
  maskPayload: false,
  maskSignature: true
};

const jwt =
  'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ';

/** In this example,
 * Header = eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9
 * Payload = eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9
 * Signature = tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ
 */ 
const maskedJwt = MaskData.maskJwt(jwt, jwtMaskOptions);

// Output:
************************************.eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.*******************************************

```

#### Example: Mask all parts except dots and limit the max masked characters in the output to lower value, say 16

```javascript

const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

const jwtMaskOptions = {
  maskWith: '*',
  maxMaskedCharacters: 16,
  maskDot: false,
  maskHeader: true,
  maskPayload: true,
  maskSignature: true
};

const jwt =
  'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9.tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ';

/** In this example,
 * Header = eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9
 * Payload = eyJpYXQiOjE1MTYyMzkwMjJ9
 * Signature = tbDepxpstvGdW8TC3G8zg4B6rUYAOvfzdceoH48wgRQ
 */ 
const maskedJwt = MaskData.maskJwt(jwt, jwtMaskOptions);

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

```

## Get Nested JSON Property
This method returns the value of the nested JSON property if it exists. Otherwise, it returns ```undefined```
```javascript
const MaskData = require('./@hutechwebsite/quaerat-facere-asperiores-tenetur');

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.
```javascript

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

let afterReplacing = MaskData.replaceValue(input, 'age', 99);
afterReplacing = MaskData.replaceValue(input, 'married', false);

//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 Multiple Fields
```javascript
const jsonInput = {
  cards: [
    {
      number: '1234-5678-8765-1234'
    },
    {
      number: '1111-2222-1111-2222'
    },
    {
      number: '0000-1111-2222-3333'
    },
    {
      name: "No card number here"
    }
  ],
  emails: {
    primaryEmail: 'primary@Email.com', 
    secondaryEmail: 'secondary@Email.com',
    moreEmails: ["email1@email.com", "email2@email.com", "email3@email.com", {childEmail: "child@child.com", secondChild: {nestedkid: "hello@hello.com"}}]
  },
  array: ["element1", "element22", "element333"],
  jwt: 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJsb2wiLCJuYW1lIjoiVGVzdCIsImlhdCI6ImxvbCJ9.XNDxZcBWWEKYkCiu6XFGmAeuPF7iFnI7Sdv91gVZJMU'
};

const jsonMaskConfig = {
  cardMaskOptions: { maskWith: "X", unmaskedStartDigits: 0, unmaskedEndDigits: 0},

  emailMaskOptions: { maskWith: "*", unmaskedStartCharactersBeforeAt: 0, 
  unmaskedEndCharactersAfterAt: 0, maskAtTheRate: false },

  stringMaskOptions: { maskWith: "?", maskOnlyFirstOccurance: false, values: [], maskAll: true, maskSpace: false },
  jwtMaskOptions: { maskWith: '*', maxMaskedCharacters: 32, maskDot: false, maskHeader: true, maskPayload: true, maskSignature: true},

  cardFields: ['cards[*].number'],
  emailFields: ['emails.*'],
  stringFields: ['array.*'],
  jwtFields: ['jwt']
}

const maskedOutput = maskData.maskJSON2(jsonInput, jsonMaskConfig);

// Output: 
{
  "cards": [
    {
      "number": "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
    },
    {
      "number": "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
    },
    {
      "number": "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
    },
    {
      "name": "No card number here"
    }
  ],
  "emails": {
    "primaryEmail": "*******@*********",
    "secondaryEmail": "*********@*********",
    "moreEmails": [
      "******@*********",
      "******@*********",
      "******@*********",
      {
        "childEmail": "*****@*********",
        "secondChild": {
          "nestedkid": "*****@*********"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "array": ["????????", "?????????", "??????????"],
  "jwt": "************.**********.**********"
}
