nconf-credstash


A CredStash store for nconf.
Enabling managing secrets in CredStash and integrating them with nconf.

Installation

$3

Install and setup CredStash.

$3

`` bash
$ npm install nconf
$ npm install nconf-credstash
`

Usage

$3

To add nconf-credstash to the nconf hierarchy, just import nconf-credstash and use the .use() method, the following way:
`javascript
require('nconf-credstash');

nconf.use('nconf-credstash', { key: 'KEY' });
`


$3


The store provided by nconf-credstash supports two ways of fetching secrets:

1. .get(key) to fetch a specific key. For every call to .get(key) the store searches it's inner cache and only if the key does not exist goes to CredStash to fetch it.
Because of Credstash's performance issues, we fetch all of the secrets as one group.
2. .get() to fetch the entire store from CredStash. The store is cached for subsequent calls.

All calls are synchronous, using node's ability to spawn child processes synchronously.
