Is there any way by which I can load ketvault values in local nodejs project as environment variables. And when I have to access that value I can do that by process.env.VARIABLE_NAME instead of calling javascript function to access keyvault value.

    @Uttam S
    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    For your scenario of accessing Key Vault Secrets locally, I found an article that might help point you in the right direction - Configuring your local JS dev environment for Azure. Within this doc you'll be Working with Azure and the Azure SDK client libraries to Create environment variables for the Azure libraries.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know.
    Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
