injecting faunadb secret as env var via .toml build command

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I'll have a go at setting this up later today 👍

I don't think if this is necessary to be honest. If you deployed via the "Deploy to Netlify" button, this is all managed for you. Nice trick though, I'll take this with me for my other Netlify projects.

Yeah I suppose the only real benefits in this scenario are for
a) someone that cloned the template into a public repo but wants to have a local dev version updating a branch that Netlify is using for CI, AND doesn't want that .toml file holding the key (that's what lead me to doing it this way)
b) someone that wants ability for separate dbs for local and live, but the same .toml file ? (which is probably far afield for the template's use case anyhow)

Cheers

I did consider these scenarios. But I figured the more savvy users would probably figure out how to make this more "production" ready and fork off this if they really wanted to. As this repo is tightly couple to a blog tutorial i think it being a bit more opinionated will benefit beginners more. Thanks for your contribution nonetheless. As it's a pretty good tip I've pinned the issue so hopefully others will find it useful too.
