This is what the error messaging looks like when I set `draft: 1` in the front matter of a template file in the directory:

Coming soon to an alpha release near you:

`eleventyDataSchema` lets you validate data from the data cascade: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/issues/879#issuecomment-2062585031

This example in a directory data file checks that the `draft` property is boolean (or undefined):

New on the docs, a dedicated page for Transforms (including a new section on execution order):
