+# Dot-env Secrets
+
+Recipe to quickly load your `.env` secrets into
+Prefect's [Secret block](https://docs.prefect.io/latest/api-ref/prefect/blocks/system/#prefect.blocks.system.Secret).
+
+## Reasoning
+
+Oftentimes, I find myself adapting existing Python scripts into Prefect.
+Storing secret environment variables in a `.env` file is a common solution and
+the [dotenv](https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/) package can seamlessly load those
+variables into the runtime environment.
+
+I needed a tool to load all the variables present in this file into my Prefect workplace
+so that my flows no longer need to rely on this file and can just fetch the variable
+from Prefect.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+In order to run this script you would
+need [python-dot-env](https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/).
+A *prefect-only* solution is also possible but not (yet) presented in this recipe.
+Make sure to be authenticated before running the script.
+
+## Solution
+
+Running this script will:
+
+- Load the variables present in the .env file (specified in the `fp` parameter)
+- Convert the variable names to `kebab-case`
+- Upload Secret block to your Prefect workspace
+
+## Example
+
+In this example `sample-dot-env` contains a variable `LOAD_DOT_ENV` which is a string.
+In the `load_secrets` function we specify the path to the `sample-dot-env` file:
+
+```shell
+LOAD_DOT_ENV=it_works
+```
+
+```python
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    env_file = "flows-advanced/dot-env-secrets/sample-dot-env"
+    load_secrets(env_file)
+```
+
+Executing it will print each variable name and its block ID
+
+```shell
+load-dot-env ffb9096a-efd3-4fcf-a37e-f79b8549f27f
+```
+
+You can now use this Secret block in your Prefect code!

+
+## More
+
+More could be done to this recipe! For example:
+
+- Provide a solution to 'load' all Prefect's secrets onto a file
+- Remove the `dotenv` dependency
+- Load all variables concurrently
