New Vault

var Vaulted = require('vaulted');

var myVault = new Vaulted({
  vault_host: '127.0.0.1',
  vault_port: 8200,
  vault_ssl: false
});

var keys;

myVault.prepare()
  .bind(myVault)
  .then(function () {
    return myVault.init();
  }).then(function (data) {
    myVault.setToken(data.root_token);
    keys = data.keys;
  })
  .then(function () {
    return myVault.unSeal({
      body: {
        key: keys[0]
      }
    });
  })
  .then(function () {
    return myVault.unSeal({
      body: {
        key: keys[1]
      }
    });
  })
  .then(function () {
    console.log('Vault is now ready!');
  })
  .catch(function onError(err) {
    console.error('Could not initialize or unseal vault:', err.message, err.error);
  });

Existing Vault - set token globally

var Vaulted = require('vaulted');

var myVault = new Vaulted({
  vault_host: '127.0.0.1',
  vault_port: 8200,
  vault_ssl: false
});

myVault.setToken('mytoken');

myVault.prepare()
  .then(function () {
    console.log('Vault is now ready!');
  });

Existing Vault - set token per-call

var Vaulted = require('vaulted');

var myVault = new Vaulted({
  vault_host: '127.0.0.1',
  vault_port: 8200,
  vault_ssl: false
});

myVault.prepare('mytoken')
  .then(function () {
    console.log('Vault is now ready!');
  });

Available Options

Example - An Express Application

In order to run the example, you will need to install:

• GNU Make
• Docker using either of these
  • Docker Toolbox
  • boot2docker
• Docker-Compose

$ make run-local

After starting the servers, you can point a tool like POSTman at http://$(boot2docker ip):3000. You can perform read/write/delete operations on secrets:

curl \
  -X PUT \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "hashicorp": "amazeballs", "value": "s3cr37" }' \
  'http://$(boot2docker ip):3000/secret/value'

{"success":true}

curl \
  -X GET \
  'http://$(boot2docker ip):3000/secret/value'

{
  "lease_id": "secret/value/xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx",
  "renewable": false,
  "lease_duration": 2592000,
  "data": {
    "hashicorp": "amazeballs",
    "value": "s3cr37"
  },
  "auth": null
}
