Overview

Policies in Tarobase are the backbone of your application's security and data integrity. They define the rules for data access, storage, and actions within your app. By carefully crafting policies, you can control who can read or write data, enforce data structures, decide whether data is stored on-chain or off-chain, and automate actions based on data changes.

This page provides an in-depth understanding of how policies work in Tarobase and offers best practices for creating secure, scalable policies for your applications.

What Are Policies?

A policy in Tarobase is a JSON object that defines rules and configurations for a specific path or set of documents within your application's data structure. Policies allow you to:

• Control Access: Define who can read or write to specific parts of your data
• Enforce Data Structure: Specify the expected fields and their data types
• Manage Storage Location: Decide whether data should be stored on-chain or off-chain
• Automate Actions: Trigger automatic actions (like token transfers) when certain conditions are met
