Context Secrets

• Type: object
• Origin: Nullstack Context
• Availability: server
• readwrite in server context

You can use it to configure your application with private information.

You can assign any keys with any type to the object.

You can assign keys to secrets dynamically based on current environment using context.environment.

// server.js
import Nullstack from 'nullstack';
import Application from './src/Application';

const context = Nullstack.start(Application);

context.start = function() {
  const { secrets, environment } = context;
  secrets.endpoint = 'https://domain.com/api';
  secrets.privateKey = environment.development ? 'DEV_API_KEY' : 'PROD_API_KEY';
}

export default context;

// src/Application.njs
import Nullstack from 'nullstack';

class Application extends Nullstack {

  static async fetchFromApi({secrets}) {
    const response = await fetch(secrets.endpoint, {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${secrets.privateKey}`
      }
    });
    return await response.json();
  }

}

export default Application;

Any environment variable starting with NULLSTACK_SECRETS_ will be mapped to the secrets in that environment.

🐱‍💻 NULLSTACK_SECRETS_PRIVATE_KEY will be mapped to secrets.privateKey
