TODOs

• Add support for config files (text files with structured data in YAML, TOML, JSON) as (4th) pkg config val src.

  • use the config pkg under the hood
  • add support for TOML to the config pkg

• Add support for system keyrings as (5th) pkg config val src via keyring::key_get(), which is more secure to store secrets than the existing srcs.

• Add support for secrets management servers/protocols like OpenBao / HashiCorp Vault as (6th) pkg config val src

  Open question: Are there other open protocols/standards to support? E.g. Bitwarden's Secrets Manager is not open-source, i.e. not supported by Vaultwarden.

  General notes on Bitwarden (password manager) vs. Vault:

  • https://discuss.hashicorp.com/t/managing-secrets-in-bitwarden-vs-hashicorp-vault-best-practices-for-isolation-and-naming-conflicts/71822/2

• Document how to add pkg config info to R/<pkg>-package.R:

  #' @section Package configuration:
  #'
  #' `r pkgsnip::md_snip("funky_config")`
  #'
  #' ```{r, echo = FALSE}
  #' funky::print_config()
  #' ```
  #'

  and figure out best way to show same info on pkgdown site (pkgdown builds the R/<pkg>-package.R to /reference/<pkg>-package.html but doesn't link it anywhere it seems).
