1Password TeamHi @vineet1passwd:
Great question! If you're looking to run your Node.js program locally, what may work best for you is the run command in 1Password CLI.
run | 1Password CLI
Using this, it would be possible to set an environment variable (either in your shell, or using the .env file) to a secret reference, like: op://vault/item/field. Next, use 1Password CLI to run the command: op run -- node main.js. 1Password CLI will process the environment variables and replace the secret reference in the environment variable with the value of the secret. At that point, you can use standard Node.js functions to get the value of the environment variable, which now contains the environment variable.
Let me know if that helps, or if you'd like me to dig in a bit further with you!
