I'm using CouchDB to store my models. CouchDB uses JSON and HTTP for
communication. Here is a simple user model
type User struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
PasswordHash string `json:"passwordHash"`
}
On the other side I'm also using JSON over HTTP to communicate with my
frontend code. Obviously I do not want to send the whole user model,
including private fields like PasswordHash, down the line.
Therefore my question: How can I hide private fields from marshaling them
to JSON when talking to my frontend. When talking to my backend the private
fields must be included.
Currently I'm using two models. A PublicUser and a PrivateUser
type PublicUser struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
}
type PrivateUser struct {
PublicUser
PasswordHash string `json:"passwordHash"`
}
So whenever I talk to my database I use the PrivateUser and whenever I talk
to the frontend I use the PublicUser. It works fine but it doesn't feel
good. I have to duplicate every single model. Any ideas?
