💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the implementation of robust, type-safe data validation across your Next.js application, ensuring data integrity for APIs, forms, and entities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schema Definition: Define reusable validation schemas using Zod.
  • API Validation: Validate request bodies, query parameters, and ensure response type safety.
  • Form Integration: Seamlessly integrate with React Hook Form for client-side and server-side form validation.
  • Entity Schemas: Create strong schemas for your application's data models.
  • Type Inference: Automatically generate TypeScript types from your Zod schemas.
  • Use Case: When building a new API endpoint to create a user, use this Skill to define a userSchema that validates the incoming name, email, and password fields, returning clear error messages if validation fails.

Quick Start

Use the zod-validation skill to create a schema for validating user signup data including email and password.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement type-safe validation for API requests in Next.js?

Type-safe API validation in Next.js is implemented by defining Zod schemas to validate request bodies and query parameters, ensuring data integrity and returning clear error messages for invalid inputs.

What is the best way to integrate Zod validation with React Hook Form?

Zod validation integrates with React Hook Form by defining a schema that validates form inputs on the client and server, automatically generating TypeScript types from the schema for seamless data handling.

Does Zod work with TypeScript for automatic type inference?

Yes, Zod works with TypeScript by automatically generating types from your validation schemas. This allows you to infer TypeScript types directly from schema definitions for robust type safety.

How do I handle schema composition and refinements for complex data models?

Schema composition and refinements in Zod allow you to build complex entity models by combining multiple schemas and applying custom validation rules to ensure robust data integrity for your application.

Can I validate API responses and not just request bodies using Zod?

Yes, you can validate API responses using Zod. The library enables you to define schemas that ensure response type safety, verifying that outgoing data matches your expected structure before delivery.
