Feature request: Uploading JSON file as secret

[dhulihan]

It would be nice to upload files to goldfish as either a secret (eg: upload a json file with keypairs) or a value of a secret.

The CLI equivalent would be:

# file contents as secret
echo '{ "value": "itsasecret" }' > data.json
vault write secret/password @data.json

and

# file contents as value
vault write secret/password foo=@data.json

This is a feature request, just wanted to start the conversation. Is this a reasonable request @Caiyeon ?

I think file uploading and parsing is a little too futuristic for now. I have been meaning to make the secrets page json-compatible though. That is, a user should be able to copy/paste in JSON. I'll leave this open until I'm certain whether it should be implemented or not implemented :)

[dhulihan]

No worries, just thought I'd capture this idea in a ticket as a point of reference :) .

Editing secrets with json sounds handy too.

Thanks for all your hard work on goldfish! 🔨

I would love to see either of these features. Mostly because we run into developers pasting from their clipboards etc. That contain new lines but break when read from vault in our application.

I'd love to be able to work with Json too. I'm storing structured data in Vault and have to use 'vault read -> vim -> vault write' operations a lot.

It would be very useful to be able to upload random (small) files, like ssh keys.
