bella_baxter

Official Dart SDK for Bella Baxter — the secure secret management gateway for teams.

Pull secrets from Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and GCP Secret Manager via one unified API.

Features

• 🔑 HMAC-signed API keys (bax-<id>-<secret>) and Bearer JWT / SSO auth
• 🔄 Real-time polling via watchSecrets() — a Stream that emits fresh secrets on an interval
• �� End-to-end encryption (ECDH-P256 + HKDF-SHA256 + AES-256-GCM) — server never sees plaintext on the wire
• 🔐 ZKE (Zero-Knowledge Encryption) — persistent device key for offline-capable decryption
• 📦 Offline-first caching — SecretCache abstract class; inject your own encrypted storage
• 🪝 Webhook verification — WebhookSignatureVerifier for X-Bella-Signature headers
• 📝 .env export — SecretsMapExtension.toEnvFormat()

Installation

dependencies:
  bella_baxter: ^1.0.0

Quick start

import 'package:bella_baxter/bella_client.dart';

void main() async {
  // Auto-detect from environment (works with bella exec)
  final client = BellaClient.fromEnv();
  final secrets = await client.pullSecrets();

  print(secrets['DATABASE_URL']); // postgresql://...
}

Environment variables (set by bella exec)

Variable	Description
BELLA_BAXTER_URL	API base URL
BELLA_BAXTER_API_KEY	HMAC API key (bax-<id>-<secret>)
BELLA_BAXTER_ACCESS_TOKEN	Bearer JWT (SSO/OAuth mode)

API key mode

final client = BellaClient(BellaClientOptions(
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  apiKey: 'bax-myKeyId-abc123def456...',
));

final secrets = await client.pullSecrets();

Typed secrets

Generate a typed secrets class with bella secrets generate dart --types, then:

// AppSecrets is your generated class
final secrets = await client.pullSecretsAs(AppSecrets.fromMap);
print(secrets.databaseUrl);
print(secrets.apiPort);

Real-time polling

client.watchSecrets(interval: Duration(minutes: 5)).listen((secrets) {
  // Called immediately, then every 5 minutes
  setState(() => _dbUrl = secrets['DATABASE_URL']);
});

Offline-first caching

final client = BellaClient(BellaClientOptions(
  baseUrl: '...',
  apiKey: '...',
  cache: MyEncryptedSecretCache(),  // your SecretCache implementation
));

For Flutter, use FlutterSecureSecretCache from the bella_baxter_flutter package.

Webhook verification

final isValid = WebhookSignatureVerifier.verify(
  secret: 'whsec-your-signing-secret',
  signatureHeader: request.headers['X-Bella-Signature']!,
  rawBody: await request.bodyAsString(),
);

ZKE (Zero-Knowledge Encryption)

import 'dart:typed_data';

// Load your device key (PKCS#8 DER, from bella auth setup)
final derBytes = await loadDeviceKey(); // your storage logic

final client = BellaClient(BellaClientOptions(
  baseUrl: '...',
  apiKey: '...',
  privateKey: Uint8List.fromList(derBytes),
));
