SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Define Zod schemas as the single source of truth and automatically infer TypeScript types from them to prevent drift between runtime validation and compile-time types.

Core Features & Use Cases

Schema-first validation: write a Zod schema and derive the TypeScript type from it, ensuring alignment across API boundaries.
Reusable base and feature schemas: shared patterns (uuid, email, timestamps) and CRUD-friendly DTOs with partial updates.
End-to-end integration: use in backend and frontend with parse/parseAsync and hook-form resolvers, plus testing and edge-case coverage.

Quick Start

Provide a Zod schema (e.g., a User schema with id, email, and name) and the tool will infer the corresponding TypeScript types and validate input automatically.

FAQPage Schema

How do I infer TypeScript types from Zod schemas to prevent type drift?▼

To infer TypeScript types from Zod schemas, you define a Zod schema as the single source of truth and derive the TS type from it, ensuring runtime validation and compile-time types align across API boundaries without manual interface drift.

What's the best way to share API contracts between NestJS backend and React frontend?▼

The best way to share API contracts is using a schema-first approach with Zod. Define shared base schemas and DTOs, parse data on the backend with NestJS, and validate frontend forms in React using hook-form resolvers.

Does Zod schema-first validation work with discriminated unions and recursive schemas?▼

Yes, Zod schema-first validation works with discriminated unions and recursive schemas. It supports inferring types for basic, optional, default, and enum fields, handling complex validation patterns and edge cases across your stack.

How do I generate CRUD-friendly DTOs with partial updates using Zod?▼

You generate CRUD-friendly DTOs with partial updates by creating reusable base and feature schemas in Zod. This allows consistent data validation for create and update operations while automatically inferring the correct TypeScript types.

Why should I use a schema-first approach for API validation instead of manual interfaces?▼

You should use a schema-first approach because it prevents drift between runtime validation and compile-time types. By making Zod schemas the single source of truth, you ensure consistent data validation and type safety across frontend and backend.

Can I use Zod schemas with React hook-form for form validation?▼

Yes, you can use Zod schemas with React hook-form for form validation. The schema-first approach supports integration with hook-form resolvers, allowing you to parse input asynchronously and maintain type safety in frontend forms.
