=head1 NAME

Data::Censor - censor sensitive stuff in a data structure

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.02

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.02';


=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # OO way, letting you specify your own list of sensitive-looking fields, and
    # what they should be replaced by (all options here are optional)
    my $censor = Data::Censor->new(
        # Specify which fields to censor:
        sensitive_fields => [ qw(card_number password) ],

        # Specify text to replace their values with:
        replacement => '(Sensitive data hidden)',

        # Or specify callbacks for each field name which return the "censored"
        # value - in this case, masking a card number (PAN) to show only the
        # last four digits:
        replacement_callbacks => {
            card_number => sub {
                my $pan = shift;
                return "x" x (length($pan) - 4) . substr($pan, -4, 4);
            },
        },
    );

    # Censor the data in-place (changes the data structure, returns the number
    # of keys censored)
    my $censor_count = $censor->censor(\%data);

    # Alternate non-OO interface, using default settings and returning a cloned
    # version of the data after censoring:
    my $censored_data = Data::Censor->clone_and_censor(\%data);


=head1 new (CONSTRUCTOR)

Accepts the following arguments:

=over

=item sensitive_fields

Either an arrayref of sensitive fields, checked for equality, or a regex to test
against each key to see if it's considered sensitive.

=item replacement

The string to replace each value with.  Any censoring callback provided in
C which matches this key will take precedence over this
straightforward value.

=item replacement_callbacks

A hashref of key => sub {...}, where each key is a column name to match, and the
coderef takes the uncensored value and returns the censored value, letting you
for instance mask a card number but leave the last 4 digits visible.

If you provide both C and C, any callback
defined which matches the key being considered takes precedence.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 censor

Given a data structure (hashref), clones it and returns the cloned version after
censoring potentially sensitive data within.

=cut

sub censor {
    my ($self, $data, $recurse_count) = @_;
    $recurse_count ||= 0;

    no warnings 'recursion'; # we're checking ourselves.

    if ($recurse_count++ > $self->{recurse_limit}) {
        warn "Data exceeding $self->{recurse_limit} levels";
        return;
    }

    if (ref $data ne 'HASH') {
        croak('censor expects a hashref');
    }

    my $censored = 0;
    for my $key (keys %$data) {
        if (ref $data->{$key} eq 'HASH') {
            $censored += $self->censor($data->{$key}, $recurse_count);
        } elsif (
            ($self->{is_sensitive_field} && $self->{is_sensitive_field}{lc $key})
            ||
            ($self->{censor_regex} && $key =~ $self->{censor_regex})
        ) {
            # OK, censor this
            if ($self->{replacement_callbacks}{lc $key}) {
                $data->{$key} = $self->{replacement_callbacks}{lc $key}->(
                    $data->{$key}
                );
                $censored++;
            } else {
                $data->{$key} = $self->{replacement};
                $censored++;
            }
        }
    }

    return $censored;
}

=head2 clone_and_censor

Clones the provided hashref (using L - will die if not installed), then
censors the cloned data and returns it.

Can be used both as a class or object method - the former for a quick way to use
it without having to instantiate an object, the latter if you want to apply
custom settings to the object before using it.

  # As a class method
  my $censored_data = Data::Censor->clone_and_censor($data);

  # or as an object method
  my $censor = Data::Censor->new( replacement => "SECRET!" );
  my $censored_data = $censor->clone_and_censor($data);

=cut
sub clone_and_censor {
    my $class = shift;
    my $data = shift;

    eval { require Clone; 1 }
        or die "Can't clone data without Clone installed";

    my $cloned_data = Clone::clone($data);

    # if $class is a Data::Censor object, then we were called as an object method
    # rather than a class method - that's fine - otherwise, create a new
    # instance and use it:
    my $self = ref $class && $class->isa('Data::Censor')
        ? $class
        : $class->new;

    $self->censor($cloned_data);
    return $cloned_data;
};
