I recently started using `id-manager <https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-id-manager>`_. It is a
|
||
nice little package that can store your passwords, encrypting them with GPG. My original reason
|
||
was to store my GitHub access token for `github-notifier
|
||
<https://github.com/xuchunyang/github-notifier.el>`_, but it soon turned out, it’s not *that*
|
||
easy.
|
||
|
||
``id-manager`` is a nice package when it comes to storing your password and retrieving them for
|
||
your own eyes. But it cannot retrieve account data programatically. Taking a look into its
|
||
source code, I came up with this solution:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: lisp
|
||
|
||
(defun gpolonkai/idm-record-get-field (record field)
|
||
"Get FIELD of an id-manager RECORD."
|
||
(let ((funcname (intern (concat "idm-record-" (symbol-name field)))))
|
||
(when (fboundp funcname)
|
||
(funcall funcname record))))
|
||
|
||
(defun gpolonkai/idm-get-field-for-account (account field)
|
||
"Get id-manager password for ACCOUNT."
|
||
(let ((db (idm-load-db))
|
||
(lookup-record nil))
|
||
(dolist (record (funcall db 'get-all-records) password)
|
||
(when (string= account (idm-record-name record))
|
||
(setq lookup-record (gpolonkai/idm-record-get-field record field))))
|
||
lookup-record))
|
||
|
||
(defmacro gpolonkai/idm-get-password-for-account (account)
|
||
`(gpolonkai/idm-get-field-for-account ,account 'password))
|
||
|
||
(defmacro gpolonkai/idm-get-id-for-account (account)
|
||
`(gpolonkai/idm-get-field-for-account ,account 'account-id))
|
||
|
||
I currently need only the account ID (ie. the username) and the password, but it’s pretty easy to
|
||
add a macro to get the ``memo`` or ``update-time`` fields, too.
