✨ Features

These are the primary features that are finished or currently being worked on:

• Protected your Get request populates and fields
• Allow you to protect routes per role (In the near future)

🤔 Motivation

The purpose of this plugin is to have a easy way to protect your get endpoints from getting to much information out of them. I made this plugin since I got sick and tired of writing complex policies to do this exact thing.

🖐 Requirements

Supported Strapi Versions:

Strapi Version	Supported	Tested On
v3	❌	N/A
<=v4.5.2	❌	N/A
v4.5.3/4.6.2	✅	December 2022
v4.7.0/4.7.1	❌	N/A
v4.8.0+	✅	April 2023

This plugin will not work on any version older then v4.5.3 since I am using the on syntax for dynamic zones wat was added in that version

⏳ Installation

# Using Yarn (Recommended)
yarn add strapi-plugin-protected-populate

# Using npm
npm install strapi-plugin-protected-populate

🔧 Configuration

WIP

standard config add the following config to your config/plugins.js

module.exports = () => {
  return {
    'protected-populate': {
      enabled: true,

enable auto populate will automatically populate all fields and populates if no ctx.query.populate / ctx.query.fields is found.

add the following config to your config/plugins.js
