Feature Request: Loading Data Files

[ossie-git]

Hi,

Just ran into Fregot and really like it. Although you can currently load input using :input and load a rego file, it would be great if you could tell it to load a data file. Is this currently planned? Thanks

Hi @ossie-git, thanks for reporting! This sounds relatively easy to add. Just to be clear -- can you confirm that you mean loading a data file by using something like:

:load path/to/file.yaml

Or:

:load path/to/file.json

[ossie-git]

Hi @jaspervdj-luminal Exactly. It would be great if you can load in a data file (and possibly namespace it) so your rego files work exactly as they would in production (any import lines or full lines: data.managers... in your rego would point to the loaded data files)

I added loading data files in #210. Namespacing is not yet supported, I'll do that in a follow-up PR.

I've added namespacing with support for the same syntax that OPA uses (:load foo.bar:data.json to load it into the foo.bar package name) in #211. This will be in the next release.

Will definitely check it out. Thanks
