Hey, I’m using MongoDB with KMongo to handle persistent data and I was wondering how to remove elements from being sent back in a response.
Let’s say I have this model

Profile { a: String, b: String }

When I access the route /test if I’m authenticated I want it to return a & b but if I’m not authenticated I want it to only return a

I’m just not sure how to remove properties before they’re sent without having to make a “proxy” model to remove them.

you can use projection: https://litote.org/kmongo/extensions-overview/#projection

Projection with exclude seems like what I need, thanks so much!
