# plist-secrets
This shows a simple way of storing and loading API keys for a Swift project, while keeping the keys out of source control.
To copy this approach:
1. Add a new file called `secrets.plist` to your project: go to File -> New -> Property List, name it `secrets`
1. Make sure the new file is in `.gitignore` - you don't want to push your secrets up to GitHub!
1. Add your API keys to the new file in the property list editor. When you're done, it might look something like this:
```xml
API_SECRET_ONE
this is secret one
API_SECRET_TWO
secret two is very different
```
1. At runtime, you would load your keys from the plist file wherever you need them:
```swift
// Load the dictionary of secret keys from secrets.plist
let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "secrets", ofType: "plist")
let dict = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path!)
// Load secrets
let secret1 = dict!.object(forKey: "YOUR_KEY_HERE") as? String
// load any others...
```
