This package provides an API for accessing Google Secret Manager using Dart. The package allows users to initialize a GoogleSecretManager instance with service account JSON credentials, set and get the instance, and call a get(secretName) method to retrieve the secret data. The package uses the googleapis and googleapis_auth packages to authenticate the API requests and the http package to make HTTP requests. This package is useful for developers who want to securely store and retrieve secrets in their Dart applications using Google Secret Manager.

Security

At this moment the package only supports authentication via service account JSON credentials. This is not the most secure way to authenticate, but at this time it's the only way to authenticate with this package. In the future, I plan to add support for other authentication methods to make it more secure.

Getting started

First create a service account and download the JSON key file.

Then, add this package to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  google_secret_manager:

Usage

To use the GoogleSecretManager class, you first need to initialize it via the GoogleSecretManager.initViaServiceAccountJson method and passing the downloaded JSON key file as a string:

final path = '${Directory.current.path}/service-account.json';
final json = File(path).readAsStringSync();
await GoogleSecretManager.initViaServiceAccountJson(json);

Then, you can access the secret value by calling the GoogleSecretManager.get method:

final response = await GoogleSecretManager.instance.get('secret-name');

For more information you can see a full example in the example folder.
