`appengine-value` is a simple utility library to handle simple secret configuration values in an App Engine app.

Problem

-----

Your app requires secret values (OAuth secrets, API keys, passwords) and you rightly don't want to specify these values as consts in your source code.

**Don't do this!**

```

const (

  clientID     = "123456.clientaccount.foo"

  clientSecret = "s8p3rs3cr1t"

)

```

Solution

-----

**Do this instead**

```

import value "github.com/ImJasonH/appengine-value"

func doOAuth(c appengine.Context) {

  clientID := value.Get(c, "client_id")

  clientSecret := value.Get(c, "client_secret")

  // use clientID and clientSecret

}

```

If you have multiple values, you can **batch lookups**:

```

func doOAuth(c appengine.Context) {

  vals := value.GetMulti(c, "client_id", "client_secret")

  clientID, clientSecret := vals["client_id"], vals["client_secret"]

}

```

Configuration

-----

To set or unset values, use the admin UI which is served at `/_ah/value/admin` -- be sure to map this in your `app.yaml`:

```

handlers:

- url: /_ah/value/.*

  script: _go_app

  login: admin

```

(You can always remove the URL mapping if you're done setting values)
