Usage and documentation

the-mask is used to mask the PII or sensitive data in the JSON object with more flexible way.

from mask import mask
payload = {
    "name": "Jennifer",
    "email" "Jenn@abc.corp",
    "salary": "250000"
}
data_to_mask = {
    "name": "str", # It can also be `string`
    "email": "email",
    "salary": "znumber"
}
result = mask(payload, data_to_mask) # Option: 1
print(result)

# Result:
# {
#     "name": "J******r",
#     "email" "J**n@a**.corp",
#     "salary": "0"
# }


# Alternative Way: If the user wanted to modify the Payload itself
# Pass the inplace option as True
mask(payload, data_to_mask, inplace = True) # Option: 2
print(payload)

# Result:
# {
#     "name": "J******r",
#     "email" "J**n@a**.corp",
#     "salary": "0"
# }

How the Data to Mask param works?

Type of Data	Example Dict Key	Value	Description
Plain Text values i.e., Name, Address etc.,	name	str	string or str can be passed to determine the value is a string
Email ID	emailAddress	email	email is to mask the email id i.e., K***n@a**.corp
Numerical Values	salary	znumber	znumber is used to convert the numerical value into 0 i.e., 250000 -> 0, 10000.90 -> 0.0, "1,135,000" -> "0"
Identity based Numerical Values	id	number	number converts the value into random number with equivalent length.
