Quickstart

Before you begin

Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
Enable billing for your project.
Enable the Secret Manager API.
Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/secret-manager

Using the client library

// Import the Secret Manager client and instantiate it:
const {SecretManagerServiceClient} = require('@google-cloud/secret-manager');
const client = new SecretManagerServiceClient();

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
 */
// parent = 'projects/my-project', // Project for which to manage secrets.
// secretId = 'foo', // Secret ID.
// payload = 'hello world!' // String source data.

async function createAndAccessSecret() {
  // Create the secret with automation replication.
  const [secret] = await client.createSecret({
    parent: parent,
    secret: {
      name: secretId,
      replication: {
        automatic: {},
      },
    },
    secretId,
  });

  console.info(`Created secret ${secret.name}`);

  // Add a version with a payload onto the secret.
  const [version] = await client.addSecretVersion({
    parent: secret.name,
    payload: {
      data: Buffer.from(payload, 'utf8'),
    },
  });

  console.info(`Added secret version ${version.name}`);

  // Access the secret.
  const [accessResponse] = await client.accessSecretVersion({
    name: version.name,
  });

  const responsePayload = accessResponse.payload.data.toString('utf8');
  console.info(`Payload: ${responsePayload}`);
}
createAndAccessSecret();

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
