Using Mondoc field encryption alongside field aliases

Mondoc supports the use of aliases, which are a way to map a field name to a different name in MongoDB. This is useful for when you want to use a different name for a field in your model, but still want to store it with a different name in MongoDB, for example, you may use $dateOfBirth in your model, but want to store it as 'dob' in MongoDB.

To do this, you'd still define your $mondocEncrypted property as you would normally, but also define the $mondocFieldAliases property.

<?php

class MyModelWithFieldAliases extends \District5\Mondoc\Db\Model\MondocAbstractModel
{
    /**
     * @var string
     */
    protected string $name;

    /**
     * @var DateTime
     */
    protected DateTime $dateOfBirth;

    /**
     * @var string
     */
    protected string $socialSecurityNumber;

    /**
     * @var string[]
     */
    protected array $mondocEncrypted = [
        'dateOfBirth',
        'socialSecurityNumber',
    ];

    /**
     * @var string[]
     */
    protected array $mondocFieldAliases = [
        'dob' => 'dateOfBirth',
        'ssn' => 'socialSecurityNumber',
    ];

    // add any getters/setters you need below
}
