I was looking for a way to hide sensitive information (api keys, etc). The secrets feature doesn’t seem to be enabled anymore. I saw another suggestion to move the file into the node_modules folder, so I did. Now I can’t access the file anymore. Here is the shell output:
$ ls -h
bookie.js.template gitignore index.html node_modules replit.nix script.js style.css
$ cd node_modules
bash: cd: node_modules: Not a directory
$ ls -h
bookie.js.template gitignore index.html node_modules replit.nix script.js style.css
$ cd .node_modules
bash: cd: node_modules: Not a directory
go to Tools > Secrets. If it isn’t there, it’s because you’re on a static hosting repl. You would have to use a webserver, and ensure secrets are used server-side and not in the frontend webpage.
Thanks! Looks like I have static hosting. Does that mean I need to buy Hacker to get access to the feature?
Is there any way to get my file back? I was working on creating API urls in there and I would rather not have to start again from scratch if I don’t have to.
you might not want to get that file back. We’d be able to see it easily when we fork the repl.
By ‘static hosting’ I mean a HTML,CSS,JS repl. You’d have to instead use a webserver on a node.js repl (e.g. using es4x) which has a route which returns whatever info you need to extract using your secret, and use fetch client-side.

That is good to know, thanks. I still want it back so I can get the work I’ve already done. I will look into creating a separate project for the API calls.
