Remember when writing a client side JavaScript application all that code is transferred to the client machine and executed. Don't put any sensitive code or strings in that code.

    Yep. Use free tools like gitguardian, gitleaks, etc. and run them in pre-commit hooks. Makes it a lot easier to catch.

    And if you leak one by accident, change it immediately. There are bots trolling sites and repos for this information.
