Allow paths to be excluded from transformation #23

mojavelinux posted onGitHub

Allow certain paths to be excluded from transformation (excludePaths). This is necessary when certain subpaths of the structure hold pure data that are not part of the model. For example, one of the keys might hold key-value pair data, but that key-value pair data cannot be corrupted.

I'm imagining something like:

camelcaseKeys(raw, { deep: true, excludePaths: ['path.to.hash'] })

It would be the data inside this path, not the path itself, that would be excluded.

Sounds like a valid use-case. PR welcome.

Great. That's what I needed to know.

I was thinking about this question of whether the specified path itself should be excluded, or whether it just excludes its children. That got me thinking that perhaps the right name for the option is "stopPaths" instead of "excludePaths". (And, of course, this is related to the deep option). I'm open to suggestions, and that can be tuned once we're looking at some code.
