Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local secrets = chilkat.Secrets.new()

-- On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
-- On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.location = "local_manager"

-- Specify the name of the secret.
-- service and username are required.
-- appName and domain are optional.
-- Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:update_string("appName", "Test2")
json:update_string("service", "Custom")
json:update_string("domain", "Ocean")
json:update_string("username", "Starfish20")

-- The purpose of this example is to show how arbitrary binary data
-- can be stored as a secret.

-- We'll use a small JPG image that is approximately 2KB in size.
-- You can test using this same JPG at this URL:
local url = "https://chilkatdownload.com/sample_data/starfish20.jpg"
local http = chilkat.Http.new()
local bd = chilkat.BinData.new()
local success = http:download_bd(url, bd)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Create or update the binary secret.
success = secrets:update_secret_bd(json, bd)
if not success then
    print(secrets.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Success.")
