AutoValue: Redacted Extension

An extension for Google's AutoValue that omits @Redacted field values from toString().

Usage

Include the extension in your project, define a @Redacted annotation, and apply it to any fields that you wish to redact.

@Retention(SOURCE)
@Target({METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD})
public @interface Redacted {
}

@AutoValue
public abstract class User {
  public abstract String name();
  @Redacted public abstract String phoneNumber();
}

When you call toString() any @Redacted properties are hidden:

User{name=Bob, phoneNumber=██}
