🔐 secret-lib

Rust library to retrieve secrets from different sources: from raw string, from shell commands using process-lib or from global keyring using keyring-lib.

See the full API documentation and some examples.

use secret::{keyring, Secret};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // raw secret

    let mut secret = Secret::new_raw("secret");
    assert_eq!(secret.get().await.unwrap(), "secret");

    // shell command secret

    let mut secret = Secret::new_cmd("echo 'secret'");
    assert_eq!(secret.get().await.unwrap(), "secret");

    // keyring secret

    let entry = keyring::KeyringEntry::try_new("key")
        .unwrap()
        .try_with_secret("secret")
        .await
        .unwrap();
    let mut secret = Secret::new_keyring_entry(entry);
    assert_eq!(secret.get().await.unwrap(), "secret");
}

Development

The development environment is managed by Nix. Running nix-shell will spawn a shell with everything you need to get started with the lib: cargo, cargo-watch, rust-bin, rust-analyzer…

# Start a Nix shell
$ nix-shell

# then build the lib
$ cargo build -p secret-lib
