secrets set

Set one or more project secrets

Set secrets for your project. Secrets are available to your backend functions at runtime via secrets.get() from the built-in base44:runtime module.

A new or changed value reaches your deployed backend functions right away. If you’ve published your app from the app editor, the published version might keep the previous value until you publish again.

If a secret with the same name already exists, its value is overwritten. You can provide secrets as inline KEY=VALUE pairs or load them from an .env file.

Usage

Set one or more secrets inline, separated by spaces:

base44 secrets set <KEY=VALUE...>

Or load from an .env file:

base44 secrets set --env-file <path>

You cannot combine inline KEY=VALUE pairs with --env-file in the same command.

Arguments

Argument	Description	Required
<KEY=VALUE...>	One or more KEY=VALUE pairs, separated by spaces.	Yes (unless using --env-file)

Flags

Flag	Description
--env-file <path>	Path to a .env file containing KEY=VALUE pairs.

Example

base44 secrets set API_KEY=sk-abc123 DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/mydb
