Storing sensitive information for my block

[Alec_Jones]

Hey everybody,

If I have to use somet sensitive information in my code, like an API key, what’s the best way to do that?
I could put it right into the code, but my block to be open source (for the hackathon), so…any advice?

Cheers,
Alec

Hey! You should always set up an environment variable with your keys so they are hidden,

Here’s a good article if you’re writing in React
