Are credentials set?

I'm trying to figure out if this is feasible.

Ideally, I'd like to set the HTML elements to be readonly (and style with CSS, so it's apparent), if the credentials are supplied via environment variables. I am able to set the environment variables and make the API calls after saving blank values within the config node.

When I hit this breakpoint, I doesn't appear I'm able to discern if the credentials have been set and the input's are blank. Is there a way to tell or signal the UI that these were set already, so the UX isn't clunky?

For context, this is how the AWS SDK looks for credentials:

# Setting Credentials in Node\.js<a name="setting-credentials-node"></a>

There are several ways in Node\.js to supply your credentials to the SDK\. Some of these are more secure and others afford greater convenience while developing an application\. When obtaining credentials in Node\.js, be careful about relying on more than one source such as an environment variable and a JSON file you load\. You can change the permissions under which your code runs without realizing the change has happened\.

Here are the ways you can supply your credentials in order of recommendation:

1. Loaded from AWS Identity and Access Management \(IAM\) roles for Amazon EC2

1. Loaded from the shared credentials file \(`~/.aws/credentials`\)

1. Loaded from environment variables

1. Loaded from a JSON file on disk

1. Other credential\-provider classes provided by the JavaScript SDK

If more than one credential source is available to the SDK, the default precedence of selection is as follows:

1. Credentials that are explicitly set through the service\-client constructor
