Zod with TypeScript for Server-side Vali...
In the latest
convex-helpers you can now use the zod helpers to specify a returns on zCustom* functions that will also do Convex validation, and thereby generate types when you generate the API.
You can now generate Convex validators from zod validators both to generate a Convex validator that matches the input to the zod validator, as well as one that matches the output of the zod validator. The former is useful for generating a Convex schema if you run zod validation after reading from the database, the latter is useful for generating a Convex schema based on a Zod validator that you run before you insert into the database. I updated the Stack post to match.Zod with TypeScript for Server-side Validation and End-to-End Types
Use Zod with TypeScript for argument validation on your server functions allows you to both protect against invalid data, and define TypeScript types ...

FYI @RJ @David Alonso - I know ya'll have been vocal about this in the past. Can't remember who else wanted this
That’s amazing! Thanks Ian!!
Also I also added a way to extract the
ctx type for custom zod functions: ZCustomCtx<typeof myInternalQuery> (where internalQuery is made with zCustomQuery)
