The secrets (config/secrets.jl
) file
Confidential configuration data (like API keys, usernames, passwords, etc) should be added to the config/secrets.jl
file. This file is by default added to .gitignore
when creating a Genie app, so it won't be added to source control – avoid that it is accidentally exposed.
Scope
All the definitions (variables, constants, functions, modules, etc) added to the secrets.jl
file are loaded into your app's module. So if your app is called MyGenieApp
, the definitions will be available under the MyGenieApp
module.
HEADS UP
Given the your app's name is variable, you can also access your app's module through the UserApp
constant. So all the definitions added to secrets.jl
can also be accessed through the UserApp
module (UserApp === MyGenieApp
).
