Fastify Secrets Azure

Fastify secrets plugin for Azure Key Vault.

Installation

npm install --save fastify-secrets-azure

Usage

Set up Azure Key Vault

In order to be able to read from Azure Key Vault you will need some permissions.

You will also probably manage permissions in different ways in local dev and production environment. In general you may want to use a different secrets manager on your local machine (i.e. fastify-secrets-env to read secrets from env variables).

To set up a Key Vault to be accessed by fastify-secrets-azure please read the instructions in the official documentation.

This will set up the vault and create an application capable of accessing it.

The information required to connect to Azure Key Vault can be stored in the environment or provided via plugin options, as described below.

Check out the official documentation for information about which environment variables are needed.

Add plugin to your fastify instance

const FastifySecrets = require('fastify-secrets-azure')

fastify.register(FastifySecrets, {
  secrets: {
    dbPassword: 'secret-name'
  },
  clientOptions: {
    vaultName: 'vault-name'
  }
})

secret-name is the name of the secret as created in Azure Key Vault.

Access you secrets

await fastify.ready()

console.log(fastify.secrets.dbPassword) // content of 'secret-name'
