adding creds to heroku config vars

[textual]

the setup guide I used had me use a path to my config file as my environment var which works locally.

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=./configs/google_console.json

However when I push to heroku, this strategy doesn't seem to work. i attempted to add the file via heroku cli to the config var, which essentially adds the contents of the file as a json string in the config var. but the start-up of the component fails with this.

whats the best approach to load up your issued credentials using heroku?

const pubsub = new PubSub({ projectId: process.env.GOOGLE_PROJECT, credentials: { private_key: process.env.GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY, client_email: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL, }, });

private key needed to be unescaped, copied and pasted into heroku config vars
