<title>Using libsecret in builds or scripts</title>
<chapter id="using-c">
<title>C: Compiling with libsecret</title>
<para>Like other GNOME libraries, <application>libsecret</application> uses
<application>pkg-config</application> to provide compiler options. The package
name is "<literal>libsecret-&major;</literal>". So in your
<literal>configure.ac</literal> script,you might specify something like:</para>
<informalexample><programlisting>
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBSECRET, [libsecret-&major; >= 1.0])
AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_LIBS)
</programlisting></informalexample>
<para>
Code using <application>libsecret</application> should include the header like this:
</para>
<informalexample><programlisting>
#include &lt;libsecret/secret.h&gt;
</programlisting></informalexample>
<para>
Including individual headers besides the main header files is not
permitted and will cause an error.
</para>
<para>
Some parts of the <application>libsecret</application> API are not yet stable.
To use them you need use the <literal>libsecret-unstable</literal> package.
The API contained in this package will change from time to time. Here's how
you would do it:
</para>
<informalexample><programlisting>
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBSECRET, [libsecret-unstable >= 1.0])
AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(LIBSECRET_LIBS)
</programlisting></informalexample>

<chapter id="using-js">
<title>Javascript: Importing libsecret</title>
<para>
In javascript use the standard introspection import mechanism to get at
<application>libsecret</application>:
</para>
<informalexample><programlisting language="javascript">
const Secret = imports.gi.Secret;
// ... and here's a sample line of code which uses the import
var schema = new Secret.Schema.new("org.mock.Schema",
Secret.SchemaFlags.NONE, { "name", Secret.SchemaAttributeType.STRING });
</programlisting></informalexample>
<para>
Some parts of the <application>libsecret</application> API are not yet stable.
It is <emphasis>not</emphasis> recommended that you use these unstable parts
from javascript. Your code <emphasis>will break</emphasis> when the unstable API
changes, and due to the lack of a compiler you will have no way of knowing when
it does. If you must use the unstable API, you would do it like this:
</para>
<informalexample><programlisting language="javascript">
// Warning: if you use the unstable API from javascript, your're going to have a bad time
const SecretUnstable = imports.gi.SecretUnstable;
// ... and a here's sample line of code which uses the import
var collection = SecretUnstable.Collection.for_alias(null, "default", null);
