You can generate TypeScript types from FileMaker layouts by running the type generation tool, which reads your Data API or OData schema and outputs type definitions and Zod validators automatically.

Yes, you can generate Zod validators from FileMaker OData metadata. The tool supports both Data API and OData configurations to synchronize your database schema and create Zod schemas for data validation.

You can customize generated TypeScript types without losing changes on regeneration by using override files, which allow you to modify types and validators while preserving your customizations during subsequent schema regenerations.

Yes, the type generation process supports environment variable integration for FileMaker Data API configuration, allowing secure schema synchronization without hardcoding credentials in your config file.

The best way to keep TypeScript types synchronized with a FileMaker database schema is to use an automated type generation tool that reads Data API layouts or OData metadata and outputs matching type definitions and Zod validators.

Generated FileMaker Zod validators may fail to validate Data API responses if your proofkit-typegen-config.jsonc is misconfigured or your database schema has changed, requiring you to regenerate types and validators to match the current layout structure.
