v-privacy

V-Privacy is a Vue 3 plugin that allows you to manage the privacy of an HTML element by blurring its content and encrypt node text data in DOM. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to hide sensitive information or content that is not relevant for the user.

Installation

To install V-Privacy, run the following command:

npm install --save v-privacy

Usage

Plugin Installation (Without encrypt option)

To use V-Privacy in your Vue 3 project, you need to install it as a plugin.

import { createApp } from "vue";
import VPrivacy from "v-privacy";

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(VPrivacy);

It is possible to provide an object to set default values (not all options are mandatory, and the ones not provided will be filled with the default values explained in Options):

app.use(VPrivacy, {
    blur: 10,
    transitionDuration: 1.2,
    blurColor: '#ff0000'
  }
);

Plugin Installation (With encrypt option)

To use V-Privacy in your Vue 3 project with encrypt option, you need to install it as a plugin, and fill the secretKey option.

WARNING: in order for this option to be really efficient, the secret key must be kept and used in a secure way. It is also necessary to keep in mind that despite the encryption of text nodes, the security of information coming from an API is not guaranteed. Indeed, the information can be found by the user via the return call of the API.

app.use(VPrivacy, {
    encryptText: true,
    secretKey: 'my-awesome-secret-key'
  }
);

Directive usage

Using the v-privacy directive with a boolean value alone allows you to use the default options. The boolean impacts the isPrivate key and enables or disables the privacy effect.

<template>
  <div v-privacy="isPrivate">
    This content will be blurred for privacy reasons.
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
   import { ref } from "vue"
   
   const isPrivate = ref(false)
</script>

Using the v-privacy directive with an object allows you to change the options used (not all options are mandatory, and the ones not provided will be filled with the default values explained in Options), however, the use of isPrivate within the object is mandatory to work:

<template>
  <div v-privacy="{blur: 10, blurColor: '#ff0000', isPrivate: isPrivate}">
    This content will be blurred for privacy reasons.
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
   import { ref } from "vue"
   
   const isPrivate = ref(false)
</script>
