This snippet allows you to apply a mask, or filter, to an object using an example object.

So if you have the object:

1
{
2
   person: {
3
    name: "john doe",
4
    email: "john@doe.com",
5
    phone: "555-555-5555",
6
    social: "555-55-5555",
7
    kids: ["sally","michelle"]
8
   }
9
  }

But you only want to return their name and email, you provide the script with a filter object like:

1
{
2
   person: {
3
    name: true,
4
    email: true
5
   }
6
  }

And it will return:

1
{
2
   person: {
3
    name: "john doe",
4
    email: "john@doe.com"
5
   }
6
  }

The snippet includes an additional "demo" script that returns a sample set of data that you can use to test how it works. You'll only need the 2nd script in the snippet to perform the actual object filter/mask.
