Gets a secret by name.

The `getSecret()` function returns a Promise that resolves to the value of the secret
 that was stored in the Secrets Manager with the given name.

> **Note:** To prevent malicious users from accessing the value of your secret,
don't return the value of the secret to client side. Only use the secret's value in the backend.

export const getSomeJSON = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, () => {
  return wixSecretsBackend.getSecret("myApiKeyName")
    .then((secret) => {
      return getJSON(`https://someapi.com/api/someendpoint?apiKey=${secret}`);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
});

export const getFirstSecretValue = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, () => {
  return wixSecretsBackend.listSecretInfo()
    .then((secrets) => {
      return wixSecretsBackend.getSecret(secrets[0].name);
    })
