//EXAMPLE "secrets.js" file below

module.exports = {
  //randomly generated
  sessionSecret:    "xxxxxxxxxx" //used for cookie session management
  , tokenSecret:    "yyyyyyyyyy" //used for token session management
  //api keys
  , mandrill:       "zzzzzzzzzz"
}

//END EXAMPLE

//USING THE secrets.js file
/*
Use:

This file is intended to allow you to safely use secret api keys in your application without exposing them in publicly.

Stock Yote currently uses three secret keys; two for user session security and one for our email API.

To use, create a new file in the same directly as "secrets-sample.js" named "secrets.js", and copy the above code into it.

Replace "sessionSecret" and "tokenSecret" with any randomly generated strings (we recommend "https://www.random.org/strings/").
Replace "mandrill" with your own Mandrill api key (source url).

You're ready to roll!


Advanced: 

Additional keys can be added and used for other services. To use, first add the new key with a descriptive name to the above javascript object.

Then, in your controller, require the secrets object:

var secrets = require('[RELATIVE PATH TO CONFIG FILE]')[process.env.NODE_ENV].secrets;

secrets.APITOKEN will then be populated and can be used by that controller.
