loopback-allowed-properties-mixin

Loopback mixin to set what fields can be written in a request.

Installation

npm install loopback-allowed-properties-mixin --save

Usage

Add the mixins property to your server/model-config.json:

{
  "_meta": {
    "sources": [
      "loopback/common/models",
      "loopback/server/models",
      "../common/models",
      "./models"
    ],
    "mixins": [
      "loopback/common/mixins",
      "../node_modules/loopback-allowed-properties-mixin",
      "../common/mixins"
    ]
  }
}

Add mixin params in model definition. Example:

{
  "name": "Person",
  "properties": {
    "name": "string",
    "email": "string",
    "status": "string",
  },
  "mixins": {
    "AllowedProperties": {
      "create": [
        "name",
        "email"
      ],
      "prototype.patchAttributes": [
        "name"
      ],
      "setStatus": [
        "status"
      ]
    }
  }
}

In the above definition, create method will only recieve the request body with properties name and email, prototype.patchAttributes method will only recieve the request body with name attribute and finally setStatus method will only recieve status attribute in the body request.
