Replaces all but the last `num` of characters with the specified mask character.
|
|
|
|
- Use `String.prototype.slice()` to grab the portion of the characters that will remain unmasked.
|
|
- Use `String.prototype.padStart()` to fill the beginning of the string with the `mask` character up to the original length.
|
|
- If `num` is negative, the unmasked characters will be at the start of the string.
|
|
- Omit the second argument, `num`, to keep a default of `4` characters unmasked.
|
|
- Omit the third argument, `mask`, to use a default character of `'*'` for the mask.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const mask = (cc, num = 4, mask = '*') =>
|
|
`${cc}`.slice(-num).padStart(`${cc}`.length, mask);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
mask(1234567890); // '******7890'
|
|
mask(1234567890, 3); // '*******890'
|
|
mask(1234567890, -4, '$'); // '$$$$567890'
|
|
```
