What is the recommended way to store sensitive information like API keys, DB credentials in nicegui

Streamlit provides a way using secrets.toml file, is there anything similar in nicegui?

Hardcoding in the py file is not the correct.

1. Put in .env then load with https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/
2. Putting it in your secrets.json is also fine to me

Be sure to exclude your secrets file from Git! Otherwise it is no better than secret in the source code...
