Can I import the Type from schemas?
How can I have the schema types, and if have also a validation schema like zod.
This is good when we create forms and also tables to have the schema and or the return type.

You can use zod inside your mutation for more granular validation.

Move faster with end-to-end type safety.
Let me check this
Also if you want to use Zod types instead of our input validation, you can see here: https://stack.convex.dev/wrappers-as-middleware-zod-validation#using-withzod-for-input-validation

Very nice...! I know is just the beggining (version 1), but a generator function to auto generate zod types will be good also, maybe a community plugin,
I like that idea. I'm curious how you'd want to extend them. Out of the box, you'd get something like a zod object with nested zod validators. But you probably want to update the nested validators to be more specifically for email, etc. If you have a specific syntax example in mind we can consider it if we look to do this in the future 🙏
