1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,680
We just signed up for the strike API and now on this API keys page we can see both a publishable key

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,820
and a secret key the secret key is the one that we want to make use of inside of our project.

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,010
This is what is going to allow us to reach out to the strike API and somehow charge a user's credit

4
00:00:16,010 --> 00:00:16,970
card.

5
00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:20,240
So we want to somehow use this key right here inside of our project.

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,550
But as you'd guess from the name of secret key we really do not want to put this secret right here in

7
00:00:25,550 --> 00:00:28,010
plain text inside of our project.

8
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:32,210
Now this is something we have dealt with in the past and you might recall that in order to store some

9
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:38,090
secret information or some private keys inside of a Cuban I.D. cluster we can create an object called

10
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:39,150
a secret.

11
00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:44,600
Secrets are used to store secret information just like an API key that we have right here.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,040
We have created a secret once before inside this course.

13
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:50,540
So let's go back over to our terminal and create another secret that will store it.

14
00:00:50,540 --> 00:00:54,390
This strike key okay.

15
00:00:54,420 --> 00:01:02,870
So back in my terminal to create a secret we will write out cubes GTL read secret generic well then

16
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:04,790
put in the name of the secret.

17
00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:13,260
So we're going to call it stripe dash secret then dash dash from literal and then we'll put in a collection

18
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:15,410
of key value pairs at the end of the command.

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:23,500
So we all write out stripe underscores key and then the value that we want to assign to this property.

20
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,110
In this case our key is the secret key we just saw inside of our browser.

21
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:30,240
It's going to take that secret key right there.

22
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,390
I'm going to copy it and then paste it at the very end.

23
00:01:36,070 --> 00:01:40,900
All done run this and we can see that our secret has been created.

24
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:47,200
I should now be able to do a cube Seitel get secrets and I will see that I have a new secret called

25
00:01:47,260 --> 00:01:49,980
stripe dash secret.

26
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:55,080
Now if you want to make use of this inside of our payment service we have to open up the deployment

27
00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,460
file and tell communities that we want to take the information stored inside the secret and assign it

28
00:02:00,460 --> 00:02:03,510
to the pod created by our payments deployment.

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,760
So let's do that right now.

30
00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:10,960
Back inside my editor I will find the infra directory inside the K AIDS folder.

31
00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:17,420
I'm going to find our payments deployment and I'll scrolling down a little bit to the environment section

32
00:02:18,530 --> 00:02:19,580
deal those inside of here.

33
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:24,610
We've already got that Jason Webb token being assigned from a secret as well.

34
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:29,920
So we're going to essentially write out the same kind of block but we'll reference the SD stripe secret

35
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:32,000
that we just created a moment ago.

36
00:02:32,230 --> 00:02:44,850
So I got to put in dash name is stripe underscore key then value from secret key ref the name of the

37
00:02:44,850 --> 00:02:53,240
secret that we want to pull this value from is stripe dash secret and the name of the key is stripe

38
00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:55,260
key.

39
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,390
So this is going to give us an environment variable available inside of our project called stripe underscore

40
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:06,180
key and that's going to make sure that we do not have to write out that entire secret key in plain text

41
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,130
which is definitely a fantastic improvement all right.

42
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:11,660
Now we've created that secrets.

43
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:13,080
Take another pause right here.

44
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:18,180
Well then make use of that environment variable and initialize the stripe SDK inside of our new account

45
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:19,350
handler in the next video.
