Recommended way to use credentials in the code - NodeJS

Hi! I have a NodeJS application and I'm trying to figure out the best way to use 1Password Secret Automation. I already have a Connect server in place and also already did some tests successfully....

Hi @imftec:

Thanks for reaching out, and I'd like to apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Just so I can make sure we're both on the same page, you're looking to dynamically load secrets into a system once it's running, is that correct?

You mentioned that the biggest hurdle with using API calls is that you'd have different vaults between development, staging, and production. Would it be possible to use an environment variable to determine which "channel" the system is running in, and use the appropriate vault? That would allow you to use vault UUIDs, allowing for the use of the API call format.

Let me know.
