Issues fetching secrets from Azure Key Vault from Azure Pipelines

Question

Hello All,

I have been trying to fetch Secret stored in Azure Key vault, for that I have created a generic template:

fetch-secrets.yml:

parameters:
  - name: vaultName
    type: string
  - name: secretName
    type: string
  - name: serviceConnection
    type: string

steps:
  - task: AzureKeyVault@2
    inputs:
      azureSubscription: '${{ parameters.serviceConnection }}'
      KeyVaultName: '${{ parameters.vaultName }}'
      SecretsFilter: '${{ parameters.secretName }}'
      RunAsPreJob: true.       

I am using this template in my azure-pipeline.yml file:

stages:
  - stage: Init
    displayName: Get initial values
    jobs:
      - template: templates/init/getvars.yml@cicd
      - job: FetchSecrets
        displayName: Fetch Secrets
        steps:
          - template: templates/fetch-secrets.yml@aot
            parameters: 
              vaultName: 'MyVaultName'
              secretName: 'Mysecretname'
              serviceConnection: 'Service-Connection-Secrets'
          - script: | 
              echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=MY_ENV_VAR]$(Mysecretname)" 
            name: SetTokenName 
            displayName: Set MY_ENV_VAR Variable

I want to use MY_ENV_VAR in .npmrc file to authenticate login to the external repo.

Is this the right or standard way to do it? If not, could you please advice.
