Description
Problem statement
Currently, when working with multiple authorization model files (.fga), each file path must be explicitly defined. For projects with a large number of .fga files, this becomes cumbersome and difficult to manage. It requires more maintenance and is error-prone. Users must manage a large quantity of .fga files and would benefit from a more streamlined way to include them.
Proposed solution
Add support for wildcards or regular expressions in the file paths for authorization models. This would allow users to include multiple .fga files using a single pattern.
For example, with an fga.mod manifest file:
schema: '1.2'
contents:
- core.fga
- parent_directory/subdirectory_1/foo.fga
- parent_directory/subdirectory_1/bar.fga
- parent_directory/subdirectory_1/baz.fga
- parent_directory/subdirectory_2/foo.fga
- parent_directory/subdirectory_2/bar.fga
For example, instead of listing each file individually, a user could specify a path like parent_directory/subdirectory_1/*.fga to include all .fga files within that directory.
Alternatives and current workarounds
The only alternative is the current method of manually listing each file, which is not ideal for larger projects.
Addional context
This feature should be implemented in the OpenFGA CLI. Additionally, this functionality should be considered for the VS Code and JetBrains extensions, as they also parse .fga files and would benefit from this enhancement for a consistent user experience across tools.
