|
|
|
|
- Install and initialize a language-specific client SDK into your application
|
|
- Provision the client scoped-access to a project and environment in Infisical
|
|
- Fetch secrets on demand

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
<AccordionGroup>
|
|
<Accordion title="Isn't it inefficient if my app makes a request every time it needs a secret?">
|
|
The client SDK caches every secret and implements a 5-minute waiting period before re-requesting it. The waiting period can be controlled by
|
|
setting the `cacheTTL` parameter at the time of initializing the client.
|
|
|
|
Note: The exact parameter name may differ depending on the language.
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
<Accordion title="What if a request for a secret fails?">
|
|
The SDK caches every secret and falls back to the cached value if a request fails. If no cached
|
|
value ever-existed, the SDK falls back to whatever value is on the process environment.
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
<Accordion title="Can I attach the environment variables to my process environment?">
|
|
Yes you can! The client SDK provides a method to attach the secrets to your process environment. When using the `listSecrets()` method, you
|
|
can pass a `attachToProcessEnv` parameter, which tells the SDK to attach all the found secrets to your process environment.
|
|
|
|
Note: The exact parameter name may differ depending on the language.

|
</Accordion>
|
|
<Accordion title="What if a request for a secret fails?">
|
|
The SDK caches every secret and falls back to the cached value if a request fails. If no cached value is found, and the request fails, then the SDK throws an error.
