Hidden attributes

[thasmo]

Would be nice to hide attributes (similar to what Eloquent does) by setting a $hidden attribute on the EntityMap, which prevents certain methods to provide those hidden attributes.

I agree this is a very uselful feature, but as these methods are on the entity itself (toArray(), toJson, etc...), wouldn't it make more sense for the hidden attribute to be defined on the Entity class, than on the EntityMap ?

@RemiCollin, not sure. I thought that maybe the EntityMap is responsible for configuring the Entity and the Entity itself is just a simple shell for the data, just like all relationships are also defined on the EntityMap and not the Entity itself.

Also because the EntityMap class already has a hidden attribute and a getHiddenAttributes getter. Are they unused for now?

[RemiCollin]

Yes it's a remain of a previous iteration, it's not implemented.

Will have a look to see how it can be achieved.

Supported in Version 2.1 : Base Entity class now supports hidden attributes
