Access Secrets In A Rails 5.2 App

For a long time the access chain for getting at secrets in your Rails app stayed the same. For instance, getting at the secret_key_base value looked something like this:

Rails.application.secrets.secret_key_base

In the world of Rails 5.2, secrets are no longer secrets. They are now credentials. This means they are under the credentials key instead of the secrets key. Here is how you can access secret_key_base now:

Rails.application.credentials.secret_key_base
