Masking complete string #15

Closed AMARNATHRAO closed 3 years ago

AMARNATHRAO commented 3 years ago

As we have "Mask the exact substring from throughout the string" in this module. I think it's better to have a function to mask the entire string with the masking parameters. As it is a common use-case in many places like if we want to mask "user full name" etc. Now, we have to go for Mask fields in a JSON function, and again we have to do some manipulations according to the requirement. I feel it is good to have some function to handle such conditions straight away, You can consider this if you feel the same.

Hi @AMARNATHRAO, Thank you for raising this issue. I feel its a valid and much needed usecase. I will add this feature in the next version. You can expect this to be done by 5th June 2021 EOD.

Hi, @Sumukha1496. It is working fine as you mentioned in the document. Thanks for the quick response, A small suggestion I feel that if we have unmaskedStartCharacters, unmaskedEndCharacters options too in the masking string it would be more useful for the people who are using this which is much needed while we are masking. Example : Amar*** **ke where unmaskedStartCharacters = 4 and unmaskedEndCharacters = 2**

@AMARNATHRAO, Got it. I will work on it and push it in the next versions. Please raise more such issues, so that I can improve the library. Thank you.
