Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

  // IBM Cloud API Key

  // See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory, 
  // or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
  // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
  // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
  final bootstrap = CkSecrets();

  // Set the location of the bootstrap secret.
  // Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
  // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
  // You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
  // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  bootstrap.location = 'local_manager';

  // Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
  final bsId = CkJsonObject();
  bsId.updateString('appName', 'ibm_bs');
  bsId.updateString('service', 'Example');
  bsId.updateString('username', 'Joe');

  // ----------------------------------------------------
  final secrets = CkSecrets();

  secrets.location = 'ibm_cloud';
  try {
    secrets.setBootstrapSecret(bsId, bootstrap);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Let's create or update a secret in the IBM Cloud Secrets.
  // (The secret is updated if it already exists.)
  final json = CkJsonObject();
  json.updateString('appName', 'Test');
  json.updateString('service', 'Something');
  json.updateString('domain', 'Xyz');
  json.updateString('username', 'Abc');

  // You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
  json.updateString('instance_id', 'a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171');
  json.updateString('region', 'us-south');

  // Create or update the secret.
