Module: DataRedactor::Refinements

Defined in:

lib/data_redactor/refinements.rb

Overview

Opt-in refinements that add a #redact method to String, Hash, and Array as sugar over redact / redact_deep.

Refinements are lexically scoped: #redact exists only in files that using DataRedactor::Refinements, so loading this file never pollutes the core classes globally. Apps that don't opt in are unaffected, and there is no collision risk with other libraries' String#redact.

DataRedactor.redact remains the primary API; this is convenience only.

Examples:

require "data_redactor/refinements"
using DataRedactor::Refinements

"email alice@example.com".redact            #=> "email [REDACTED]"
{ token: "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" }.redact    #=> { token: "[REDACTED]" }
chat.ask(user_input.redact)                 # scrub before sending to an LLM
