Server Side 'preCreate' to create hidden column

cbasmadjian

I am having some difficulty on hiding this information that is not meant to be sent back to the browser. Need to create a token system (private key) that I want the server to know about. But don't want this passed back to the client side. Not understanding exactly what I need to do.

Within in my Field Editor I have the following...

Field::inst( 'Table.token' )->set( Field::SET_CREATE ),

I understand that this is telling the datatables that this field is on create only type of thing.
https://editor.datatables.net/manual/php/conditions#Setting-field-values

Inside my preCreate event I am doing the following...

->on( 'preCreate', function ( $editor, $values ){
    $editor->field( 'Table.token' )->setValue( functionThatCreatesUniqueness() );
} )

This code works fine and gets me what I need. But I am clueless how to tell DataTables don't send this info to the client. It's not necessary. Only the server needs to be aware of this.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Use ->get( false ) if you don't want the field to be sent to the client-side.
