Lua Requires Chilkat v11.5.0+

Example: Secrets.SecretSpecToJson method

Demonstrates the SecretSpecToJson method. This method converts a secret specification string to the JSON required to create or lookup the secret. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local success = false

local secrets = chilkat.Secrets.new()
local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json.emit_compact = false

-- A secret name can include up to 4 components:
-- [appName] / service / [domain] / username

-- This example will demonstrate secret specification strings
-- for each possible combination.

-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- 1: service + username
local sspec = "!!imap|john@example.com"

secrets:secret_spec_to_json(sspec, json)
print(json:emit())

-- Result:
-- {
--   "service": "imap",
--   "username": "john@example.com"
-- }

-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- 2: appName + service + username
sspec = "!!myApp|imap|john@example.com"

secrets:secret_spec_to_json(sspec, json)
print(json:emit())

-- Result:
-- {
--   "appName": "myApp",
--   "service": "imap",
--   "username": "john@example.com"
-- }

-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- 3: service + domain + username
sspec = "!!|imap|imap.example.com|john"

secrets:secret_spec_to_json(sspec, json)
print(json:emit())

-- Result:
-- {
--   "service": "imap",
--   "domain": "imap.example.com",
--   "username": "john"
-- }

-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- 4: appName + service + domain + username
sspec = "!!myApp|imap|imap.example.com|john"

secrets:secret_spec_to_json(sspec, json)
print(json:emit())

-- Result:
-- {
--   "appName": "myApp",
--   "service": "imap",
--   "domain": "imap.example.com",
