Activate JsonIgnoreProperties

EasyApi respects @JsonIgnoreProperties on both classes and nested fields via the jackson extension (enabled by default).

Class-level

@JsonIgnoreProperties({"internalId", "metadata"})
public class UserDTO {
    private Long internalId;  // Will be ignored
    private String name;      // Will be included
    private String metadata;  // Will be ignored
}

Nested Field-level

When a field's type has @JsonIgnoreProperties, those properties will be excluded from the nested object:

public class Order {
    private String orderId;
    private UserDTO user;  // internalId and metadata from UserDTO will be excluded
}

Custom Rule

You can also add a custom rule for more control:

field.ignore=groovy:it.containingClass().annValue("com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties")?.contains(it.name())

See Jackson for more details.
