This might not be exactly what you were looking for, jc00ke, but it may be adjacent and potentially useful.

Given a "secure note" in 1password, named "Example - Direnv", stored in a vault named "Private", and with the following content:


export DIRENV_OVER_1PASSWORD="success"

and a .envrc file in a project, with the following content:


$(op item get 'Example - Direnv' --fields label=text | xargs echo)

$(op read 'op://Private/Example - Direnv/text')

I found that, assuming you've already done a eval $(op signin), the following works:


$ echo $DIRENV_OVER_1PASSWORD
"success"
