FWIW the commented-out type in validators.d.ts works as you outlined above Of course, you guys have been shipping amazing work! Just wanted to bring some more attention to it, as it is an important primitive

v.record

The feature would be super useful, even if that edge case threw or had a weird resolution -- it's not like anyone is super likely to need v.record(?, v.optional(?)) since it doesn't have a direct analogue in TS anyway

v.record

Just brainstorming

v.record

For finite-valued key types, maybe an optional value just gets inferred as a POJO and a non-optional value as a proper TS Record ? v.record(v.union(v.literal('a'), v.literal('b')), v.number()) => Record<'a'|'b', number> v.record(v.union(v.literal('a'), v.literal('b')), v.optional(v.number())) => {[inferredKey: 'a' | 'b']: number}

v.record

For infinite-valued key types like v.string()

v.record

Alternately... maybe v.optional() in that situation is actually just a no-op?

v.record

Although I haven't thought it through, my first instinct is I'd rather have a Record validator that just throws when passed a v.optional(), vs. no Record validator at all

v.record

I actually don't care about validating the keys -- in my particular case I'm always doing Record<string, CalEvent> or Record<string, number>

v.record

My use case is just that I use a lot of Maps and POJOs in my app, and those values need to be strongly typed. The biggest example: this is a calendar app and there's a field events: Record<string, CalEvent> where CalEvent really needs to be typechecked. So using v.any() and .fromEntries as suggested is problematic

v.record

Ah interesting! I was wondering what the problematic edge cases were. Makes sense

v.record

Gotcha, thanks Tom! I suppose I was already taking that risk by staying on 1.2.1 and using the v.record() from that version.

v.record

Current hacked-together solution: Add a file convex/vWithRecord.ts (see attached file -- I just copied the export declare const v block from validator.d.ts and uncommented the line for v.record) Then in schema.ts:

import { vWithRecord } from './vWithRecord'
// ...
export const myType = v.object({
  myField: (v as typeof vWithRecord).record(v.string(), myOtherType),
})

import { vWithRecord } from './vWithRecord'
// ...
export const myType = v.object({
  myField: (v as typeof vWithRecord).record(v.string(), myOtherType),
})

Are there any risks with this approach?

Sketchy Link

+1 for vanity API domains. I'm trying to implement a feature involving shareable links that make GET requests to my Convex API, so to avoid end users having to copy/paste a "sketchy" link like this, it seems like I have to use a proxy server -- I naively tried just pointing a CNAME record at my API, but of course the SSL cert doesn't match
