Is there a way to have ts types and v.whatever() types synced?

hey, its getting rather tedious to update my types on so many places. Does anyone know of a more elegant approach? 1. how can I keep both typescript and schema updated at the same time? eg

type todo{
name: string,
newlyAddedThing: string
}
//wish it would also change in schema
defineTable({
todo:{
name: v.string(),
//here should automticaly be newlyAddedThing
})

type todo{
name: string,
newlyAddedThing: string
}
//wish it would also change in schema
defineTable({
todo:{
name: v.string(),
//here should automticaly be newlyAddedThing
})

} 2. if i have 3 different mutations that take a todo as args... how do I prevent having to change the args todo definition on all 3 manualy?

SOLUTION: make new file validators.ts in convex folder and define your validators there, then infer the type

export type todo_type = Infer<typeof todo_validator>;

export const todo_validator = v.object({
    name: v.string(),
    newlyAddedThing: v.string()
})

export type todo_type = Infer<typeof todo_validator>;

export const todo_validator = v.object({
    name: v.string(),
    newlyAddedThing: v.string()
})

the type can also be used in frontend magicaly 👍 the validator can be used while defining schemas
