Should data-modules create missing type index? #112

Open angelo-v opened 4 months ago

I tried to use it with an empty POD, but it didn’t work and I think that’s because it expects the type index to exist. What do you think about that, is that an expectation apps should make? In my apps, I’m currently creating a type index if it doesn’t exist. Which brings me to the next point.

Did the user authorize the app to manage their type indexes?

I could imagine a poorly implemented tic-tac-toe app accidentally messing up type indexes for medical information and business appointments. As a user, I wouldn't want low-trust apps to touch my type indexes (or equivalent).

If data modules don't assume app authorization, please feel free to hide this comment as 'out of topic'.
