# getsecret
A simple way to get credentials stored in yaml files and environment variables
## Install
npm install getsecret
## Storing secrets
You can store secrets in 3 locations (in decreasing order of priority)
* An environment variable. These are commonly used in Heroku. ex: `process.env.some_keyname`
* A file named `.getsecret.yaml` in your current directory
* A file named `.getsecret.yaml` in your home directory. The format should map key names to secrets, ie:
some_keyname: some_secret_value
another_keyname: another_secret_value
## Accessing secrets from code
Simply pass the key name to getsecret and its value will be returned. ex:
```javascript
var getsecret = require('getsecret')
var secret_value = getsecret('some_keyname')
```
