## Integration
Lazysecret let you integrate it into your workflows by `lazysecrets` `list`/`get`/`open`
Here is an example of implementing a picker in `fzf`:
```sh
lazysecrets list | fzf --ansi --delimiter='\t' --with-nth='2..-3' --nth='2..' --accept-nth=-1 \
--header 'enter: link · ctrl-o: open · ctrl-y: copy value · ctrl-x: copy and close' \
--bind 'ctrl-o:become(lazysecrets open --action go --account {-2} {-1})' \
--bind 'ctrl-y:execute-silent(lazysecrets get --account {-2} {-1} | pbcopy)+change-header(Copied the value of {3})' \
--bind 'ctrl-x:become(lazysecrets get --account {-2} {-1} | pbcopy)'
```

It's what Go to searches, so fzf, or an editor's picker, can search it
instead, showing the names and acting on the links:
What's cached prints at once, then what loads follows as it arrives: read
it as a stream. Values are never listed. It stops quietly when the reader
goes, like fzf after a pick. Kind stays the first field, and account and
link the last two; new fields only ever go between. The mark has a field of
its own so a search can leave it out: in fzf, `--nth` searches the name,
so `^prod` finds names starting with prod.

`lazysecrets open --action go --account <account> <link>` opens one in
lazysecrets without asking what to do or which account, ending in the
secrets list, like Go to.
### Example usage with fzf
```sh
lazysecrets list | fzf --ansi --with-nth='2..-3' --accept-nth=-1 \
lazysecrets list | fzf --ansi --delimiter='\t' --with-nth='2..-3' --nth='2..' --accept-nth=-1 \
--header 'enter: link · ctrl-o: open · ctrl-y: copy value · ctrl-x: copy and close' \
--bind 'ctrl-o:become(lazysecrets open --action go --account {-2} {-1})' \
--bind 'ctrl-y:execute-silent(lazysecrets get --account {-2} {-1} | pbcopy)+change-header(Copied the value of {2..-3})' \
--bind 'ctrl-y:execute-silent(lazysecrets get --account {-2} {-1} | pbcopy)+change-header(Copied the value of {3})' \
--bind 'ctrl-x:become(lazysecrets get --account {-2} {-1} | pbcopy)'
```
![fzf-example](assets/fzf-example.png)
`--with-nth='2..-3'` shows and searches only the names; `{-1}` and
`--accept-nth=-1` are the link, `{-2}` the account. All but the name are
one word, so this works without `--delimiter`. To filter by kind
yourself: `awk -F'\t' '$1 == "secret"'`.
`enter` prints the link (`lazysecrets get $(…)`), `ctrl-o` opens it in
lazysecrets, `ctrl-y` copies the value, saying so in the header, and
`ctrl-x` copies it and closes fzf (`pbcopy` on macOS; `wl-copy` or `xclip`
on Linux). A value copied this way isn't cleared from the
clipboard after `values.clipboardClear`, as one copied in lazysecrets is.
`--account` makes `open` and `get` use the account it was listed through,
when several of yours can see it: without, `open` asks which, and `get`
tries the one that last read it first. The link stays as it is, to copy
and share; the account isn't part of it. `--action` tells `open` what to
do rather than asking, as it does for a link clicked elsewhere: `go` to
it, `copy` its value too, or `show` it. It ends in the secrets list, like
Go to, rather than on the details as a clicked link does.
What's [cached](config.md#cache) prints at once. Then, like Go to, it loads
what's missing or older than `--max-age` (2m), and what's new in it follows
as it arrives: fzf shows it while you type. `--cached` loads nothing from
Azure or Databricks, for an answer at once. Repos are always read, from
disk. What it loads is cached for the TUI too. It stops when the reader
goes, after a pick in fzf.
`--kind` lists only some kinds, comma-separated: `source`, `vault` (also
Databricks scopes and repo files), `secret`, `key`, `certificate`. Lists
only other kinds need aren't loaded: `--kind source,vault` asks for no
secrets. Keys and certificates load only when asked for this way; else,
like Go to, they're listed as far as you opened them in lazysecrets.
A vault or source it can't read is a line too, as it fails: its name,
then `✗` and why in red (`errorColor`), with its link, so opening it
shows more. They're in the list, not on stderr, which would draw over fzf.
`--errors=false` leaves them out.
The name is coloured from your [theme](config.md#theme), with the
provider's icon when [icons](config.md#theme) are on (`ui.icons`); fzf
shows the colours with `--ansi`. `--color never` leaves them out, for
scripts, and `--icons=false` the icons. The link is never coloured.
`--format json` prints an object per line instead, for editor plugins,
without colours or icons, and with `error` on a list it couldn't read:
```json
{"link":"lazysecrets://azure/kv-app-prod.vault.azure.net/secrets/db-password","kind":"secret","provider":"azure","path":["platform-prod","kv-app-prod","db-password"],"account":"Azure:alice@example.com/<tenant>","accountLabel":"alice"}
```
`accountLabel`, the account's short name, is there when several az
accounts are signed in. Values are never listed.
