Secure Your Secret Keys With Rails 7 Encrypted Credentials

[@MattBudz]

Rails has evironment credentials. Try this command `bin/rails credentials:edit --environment production` and this will generate `config/credentials/production.yml.enc` along with `config/credentials/production.key` rather than `config/credentials.yml.enc` and `config/master.key`. You can do the same for the test and development environments. For multi-level keys you can use this syntax `Rails.application.credentials.aws.access_key_id`. Rails will know which credentials file to use automagically without the need to specify the environment. Also, if you add the editor you want to use to your bashrc (or equivalent), you don't need to specify the editor in the command. EDIT: don't forget to add your secret_key_base to the environment credentials.

Had no idea about this, thank you!

[@MattBudz]

@@Deanin It's quite handy for real world projects. Sadly it's not really documented anywhere.

You are real hero for Ruby on rails as no one in the KZbin is helping like this for Ruby on rails, can you make any video with CRUD operations on GraphQL

[@Deanin]

I can look into it, absolutely. I've been meaning to revisit it now that I understand Rails a bit better. I also appreciate the kind words 🙂

[@TheJackTheLion]

That's the same thing I told him!
