Very very long time ago I looked for a Cerbos feature that convert YAML schemas to TypeScript files so the inputs can be statically checked to have all data needed for Cerbos to be able to make a proper decision per schemas.

I remember then this wasn't implemented, but is this still the case now? It has probably been years since I looked/asked

Also as of now is it possible to configure Cerbos as such it errors when data is missing (instead of just denying the permission)?

Hey they - yes you can now define a JSONSchema for your principal and resource attributes and the PDP can be configured to validate against that when a request comes in either warn or reject it.

There is an open source project from a community member for type generation
