Secret Manager API C++ Client Library
An idiomatic C++ client library for Secret Manager API, a service that stores sensitive data such as API keys, passwords, and certificates.
While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/secretmanager/quickstart/
directory, which should give you a taste of the Secret Manager API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/secretmanager/v1/secret_manager_client.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 2) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace secretmanager = ::google::cloud::secretmanager_v1;
auto client = secretmanager::SecretManagerServiceClient(
secretmanager::MakeSecretManagerServiceConnection());
auto const parent = std::string("projects/") + argv[1];
for (auto secret : client.ListSecrets(parent)) {
if (!secret) throw std::move(secret).status();
std::cout << secret->DebugString() << "\n";
}
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
The main class in this library is secretmanager_v1::SecretManagerServiceClient
. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock secretmanager_v1::SecretManagerServiceClient
when testing your application.
