A drop in package when using Laravel in a Docker Swarm setup and wanting to expand docker secrets easily.

But why?
--------

[](#but-why)

> Write a blurb about why you would want to use this, and why the value isn't just replaced or cached....security yo!!!

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Hey, we all like composer here right??

```
composer require bearcodi/docker-secrets
```

### Laravel setup

[](#laravel-setup)

Its 2018, and Laravel is fun to dev packages for, is already setup!!!

### Non Laravel projects

[](#non-laravel-projects)

Hmmmm, need to think about this for Code Igniter.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Within you `.env` file, or from you `docker-compose.yml` stack file using environment variables, define your secret prefixing it with `dockersecrets://` DSN.

```
DB_PASSWORD=dockersecrets://db-password
```

> **IMPORTANT** If you are using a docker secret in your code not in a string context (ie. array key lookup) either cast it to a string `(string) config("CONFIG_KEY")` or use the `expose()` method on the return value as it is an instance of `Bearcodi\DockerSecrets\Secret`

The secret is then parsed and replaced with the Secret handler, when evalutated in a string usage the secret file value is returned on demand without exposing it in your applications environment.

Laravel environment key exclusions
----------------------------------

[](#laravel-environment-key-exclusions)

KeyReason for exclusion`DB_CONNECTION`The value is used in an array key lookup when establishing the database connection driver, see array key lookups
