描述

Feature

Active Record Encryption enables developers to easily hide specific bits of information behind encryption.

We should enable an easy way to display those fields after the record is displayed.

Workflow:

  • this should be a new field
  • The user loads the record in any view
  • Avo shows the record with asteriscs (****)
  • the user get's a button to reveal the value
  • Avo makes a call to the server to get the real value and display it to the user
  • we should take care on forms to not submit the easteriscs and overwrite the values in the DB

Current workarounds

Custom fields.

研究方向
Start by examining existing custom field implementations in Avo, particularly how fields handle server client interactions. Look at the Avo::Fields::Base class and its subclasses for patterns. The reveal functionality requires a new endpoint to fetch decrypted values; review the routing and controller setup in Avo. For the form handling, ensure that encrypted fields are not overwritten by placeholder asterisks; this may involve overriding field serialization or using a custom field type that excludes the encrypted attribute from form params.
