# GoogleCloudSecretManagerAPI ## Getting Started If you only need to use the [Google Cloud Secret Manager API](https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager), then this guide will help you get started. In your `Package.swift` file, make sure you have the following dependencies and targets ```swift dependencies: [ //... .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor-community/google-cloud.git", from: "1.0.0"), ], targets: [ .target(name: "MyAppName", dependencies: [ //... .product(name: "CloudSecretManager", package: "google-cloud"), ]), ] ``` Now you can setup the configuration for any GCP API globally via `Application`. In `configure.swift` ```swift import CloudSecretManager app.googleCloud.credentials = try GoogleCloudCredentialsConfiguration(projectId: "myprojectid-12345", credentialsFile: "~/path/to/service-account.json") ``` Next we setup the CloudSecretManager API configuration (specific to this API). ```swift app.googleCloud.secretManager.configuration = .default() ``` Now we can start using the GoogleCloudSecretManager API There's a handy extension on `Request` that you can use to get access to a secret manager client via a property named `gcSecretManager`. ```swift func getCICDSecrets(_ req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture { req.gcSecretManager.secrets.access("my-secret-name", version: "latest") .map { $0.payload.decodedData! // returns the base64-decoded value of secret } } ```
