Hi,

I am running Bing Maps Demos (https://samples.bingmapsportal.com/) in Visual Studio ASP .NET Core Web Apps. When I swap out the demo codes with my personal Bing Maps Key, that key is visible as plain text in the Javascript.

Please advise of simple methods to hide values like Api keys from being in plain text.

Thanks!
