Eve - Is it possible to unset a key from a document?

问题

In a schema with optional values such as code in the example:

'code': {
    'type': 'string',
},
'name': {
    'type': 'string',
    'required': True,
},
'email': {
    'type': 'string',
    'required': True
}

Let's say there's an inserted document with a value for code. Can I unset the code key like mongodb $unset does, using Eve somehow?

回答1:

One way to achieve this is to setup a default projection for the endpoint.

Limiting the Fieldset Exposed by the API Endpoint By default API responses to GET requests will include all fields defined by the corresponding resource schema. The projection setting of the datasource resource keyword allows you to redefine the fields.

people = {
    'datasource': {
        'projection': {'username': 1}
    }
}

The above setting will expose only the username field to GET requests, no matter the schema defined for the resource.

Another option is to leverage MongoDB Aggregation Framework itself. Just set the endpoint so that a aggregation is performed before data is returned to the client. The following should work (see the docs for details):

posts = {
    'datasource': {
        'aggregation': {
            'pipeline': [{"$unset": "code"}]
        }
    }
}

You need Eve v0.7 for aggregation support.
