Routes.

resources :articles
root to: 'articles#index'
development:
  secret_key_base: very-long-string
  http_basic_user: test
  http_basic_password: test

We can access the values in secrets.yml in the rails console as follows:

> Rails.application.secrets
 => {:secret_key_base=>"7ae70512d6dcc17f8ea22e057925e9c0d8a4074a75742c6a590ffaba2778034d0be796b42b0ab9bc3b2f5237a3bfa332cd0bbf8fd9760b9ff2885f1f4fb40902", :http_basic_user=>"test", :http_basic_password=>"test", :secret_token=>nil}
> Rails.application.secrets.http_basic_user
 => "test"
> Rails.application.secrets.http_basic_password
 => "test"

Add secrets.yml to .gitignore file to prevent checking it in to source control.

Replace the controller hard-coded values:

http_basic_authenticate_with name: Rails.application.secrets.http_basic_user, 
							 password: Rails.application.secrets.http_basic_password,
                             except: [:index, :show]

Make your code immune to future changes of Rails. Create credentials.rb and define methods that wrap this into methods such as: lib/credential.rb:

class Credential
  def self.http_basic_user
    Rails.application.secrets.http_basic_user
  end
 
  def self.http_basic_password
    Rails.application.secrets.http_basic_password
  end
end

In application.rb:

config.autoload_paths << Rails.root.join('lib')
http_basic_authenticate_with name: Credential.http_basic_user, 
							 password: Credential.http_basic_password,
                             except: [:index, :show]

Create config/stripe.yml:

development:
  api_key: 12345
  api_secret: 6789
test:
  api_key: 12345
  api_secret: 6789
production:
  api_key: <%= ENV["STRIPE_API_KEY"] %>
  api_secret: <%= ENV["STRIPE_API_SECRET"] %>

We can now access the values in the rails console like this:

> stripe_config = Rails.application.config_for(:stripe)
 => {"api_key"=>12345, "api_secret"=>6789}
> Rails.application.config.x.stripe.api_key = stripe_config['api_key']
 => 12345
> Rails.application.config.x.stripe.api_secret = stripe_config['api_secret']
 => 6789
> Rails.application.config.x.stripe.api_key
 => 12345
> Rails.application.config.x.stripe.api_secret
 => 6789

Create config/initializers/stripe.rb.

STRIPE_CONFIG = Rails.application.config_for(:stripe)

This reads the credential values in the stripe.yml for the current Rails environment. We can add the new methods to retrieve the Stripe credentials in the Credential class.

def self.stripe_api_key
  Rails.application.config.x.stripe.api_key = STRIPE_CONFIG['api_key']
end

def self.stripe_api_secret
  Rails.application.config.x.stripe.api_secret = STRIPE_CONFIG['api_secret']
end

You can now access the Stripe credentials in your code like this:

> Credential.stripe_api_key
 => 12345
> Credential.stripe_api_secret
 => 6789

cable.yml

Rails.application.config.action_cable => {:mount_path=>"/cable", :allowed_request_origins=>"http://localhost:3000"} Rails.application.config.action_cable.mount_path => "/cable" Rails.application.config.action_cable.allowed_request_origins => "http://localhost:3000"
