Use credentials as formula inputs

After a provider’s credential has been set, it can be used as input in the formula’s **config.json**file.

How can you configure?

To do so, it is necessary to use the reserved keyword: CREDENTIAL

When the credential is used as an input, it will contain 2 fields:

• The name is the variable used to extract the input and manipulate it inside the formula’s code.
• The type is the specific nomenclature for the CLI to now which credential to use.

For example, to be able to use GITHUB credentials as input, you need to inform them as follows in the formula’s config.json file:

"inputs": [ 
    { 
        "name": "git_user", 
        "type": "CREDENTIAL_GITHUB_USERNAME" 
    },
    { 
        "name": "git_email", 
        "type": "CREDENTIAL_GITHUB_EMAIL" 
    },
    { 
        "name": "git_token", 
        "type": "CREDENTIAL_GITHUB_TOKEN"
    } 
]

If you have any questions regarding the provider’s variable names, you can check the credentials you’ve set using the following command:

rit list credential

With GITHUB, it will return something like this:

PROVIDER	 CONTEXT	  CREDENTIAL
github  	 default	  {"token":"***", "email":"***", "username":"***"}
