Fastify Secrets Env

Fastify secrets plugin for environment variables

This plugin is mostly intended for your local dev environmemt where you may want to use the same api as production-ready plugins like fastify-secrets-gcp whilest still reading config from environment variables. We suggest to use a proper secret manager in production.

Installation

npm install --save fastify-secrets-env

Usage

This plugin will read secrets from environment variables and decorate fastify with a secrets object. It is agnostic on how the environment variables are set: it is not a replacement of dotenv, and can work in conjuction with it.

Add plugin to your fastify instance

const FastifySecrets = require('fastify-secrets-env')

fastify.register(FastifySecrets, {
  secrets: {
    dbPassword: 'PG_PASS'
  }
})

Access you secrets

await fastify.ready()

console.log(fastify.secrets.dbPassword) // content of process.env.PG_PASS

Plugin options

The plugin only expect the secrets object in the options.

It is a map of keys and environment variables names. fastify-secrets-env will decorate the fastify server with a secrets object where keys will be the same keys of the options and the value will be the content of the environment variables referenced by the value.
