What's the utility of storing assertions in OpenFGA?

[vhpoet]

It seems like the workflow of working with assertions is Writing them to OpenFGA, and then Reading and running a Check on each individual one. In a real world scenario I would probably have the assertions and the model stored in a git repo before pushing anything to OpenFGA in which case I can just run Check on these assertions without needing to push them to OpenFGA first. Am I missing something obvious here?

Hi @vhpoet

Assertions exist to support Playground-like scenarios, were you don't have another place to store the check() calls you want do do.

For a real world scenario, you would run check() from your unit tests suite instead of using assertions.

Does it make sense?

Makes sense, thank you!
