Exclude based on condition

[websirnik]

What is the right approach to exclude certain objects being serialized based on condition.
For example, when I serializing User, User has both pubic and private Posts. In a public context, I don't want private posts to be exposed. How should I prevent private posts from serialization?

I need to do something like the following. I know that the usage of @Exclude is not right, but just to illustrate the point.

class User
{
    /**
     *
     * @JMS\Groups({"user"})
     * @JMS\Exclude({"privacy.type":"private"})
     * @JMS\Type("array<Org\AppBundle\Document\Post>")
     * @MongoDB\ReferenceMany(targetDocument="Org\AppBundle\Document\Post")
     */
    protected $posts;

You could register your own exclusion policy in the serializer to achieve such exclusion
