# Installation

```

go get github.com/rsjethani/secret/v3

```

# What secret is?

It provides simple Go types like `Text` to securely store secrets. For example:

```go

type Login struct {

    User string

    Password secret.Text

}

```

The encapsulated secret remains inaccessible to operations like printing, logging, JSON serialization etc. A (customizable) redact hint like `*****` is returned instead. The only way to access the actual secret value is by asking explicitly via the `.Secret()` method. See package documentation more reference and examples.

# What secret is not?

- It is not a secret management service or your local password manager.

- It is not a Go client to facilitate communication with secret managers like Hashicorp Vault, AWS secret Manager etc. Checkout [teller](https://github.com/spectralops/teller) if that is what you are looking for.
