About The Project

cast spell

Many libraries deal with parameter store secrets. However, I didn't find one that suits my needs, so I created this one. I wanted to develop a library that will solve all my needs while using secrets, including exporting the key/secrets to different formats

Here's why:

  • Many solutions require prefixes to store keys, making it difficult to migrate when needed.
  • Support for exporting keys to widely accepted file formats such as JSON was limited.

Built With

Getting Started

Below is an example of instructions you can integrate into your own project's Getting Started section. You can follow these simple steps to get a local copy up and running:

Prerequisites

Installation

If you wish to use alohamora as a standalone utility:

npm -g install alohomora

This will make the alo command available in your terminal.

alo --help

If instead you would like to add it to a package:

npm install --only=dev alohomora

Usage

Every command accepts several options through command line or custom configuration see configuration for more

List secrets.

  alo list --prefix my-company/my-app

Get a secret.

  alo get SECRET_KEY_NAME --prefix my-company/my-app

Set/Update/Create a secret.

  alo set SECRET_KEY_NAME VALUE --prefix my-company/my-app --environment development

Delete a secret.

  alo delete SECRET_KEY_NAME --prefix my-company/my-app --environment production

Export secrets

  alo export json --prefix my-company/my-app --environment production

Configuration

You can configure alohomora from several places:

CLI options

If you are using alo as a global command, you can provide all the above options via command line:

  alo list --prefix my-company/my-app --aws-region us-west-2  --aws-profile myCustomAWSProfile --environment production

for more details you can invoke:

  alo --help

Custom Configuration

You can also define custom configuration in your package:

{
  "name": "my-package",
  "alohomora": {
    "prefix": "my-company/my-app",
    "environment": "production",
    "region": "us-west-2"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "secrets": "alo export"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "alohomora": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

When the command is invoked it will look for the alohomora configuration block.

(my-package)$ npm run secrets

Custom configuration can be defined in many places, for more information check cosmiconfig

notes about custom configuration

  • If prefix is provided via cli, the custom configuration will be ignored.
  • If configuration is provided via the cli, custom configuration will be merged with the provided cli configuration (except prefix)

example with overrides:

"alohomora": {
  "prefix": "my-company/my-app",
  "region": "us-west-2",
  "environment": "development",
}
  alo list --environment production

result: We will use everything from the custom configuration and use environment provided by the cli instead of the one on the custom configuration

example ignoring custom configuration:

"alohomora": {
  "prefix": "my-company/my-app",
  "region": "us-west-2",
  "environment": "development",
}
  alo list prefix "my-other-company/my-other-app"

result: We will ignore custom configuration given that prefix was provided via cli.
