Best for

  • TypeScript API route validation with error handling for Next.js/Express endpoints
  • Form schema validation with field-level error mapping for React/Vue applications
  • Database input sanitization and type coercion for user-generated content
  • Configuration file parsing with environment variable validation and defaults
  • External API response validation with transformation pipelines for data consistency

What you'll get

  • Complete Zod schema definitions with .safeParse() error handling, custom error messages, and TypeScript type inference examples
  • Composed validation schemas using .extend(), .pick(), .omit() with reusable base schemas and transform pipelines
  • Full-stack validation patterns showing API route implementation, client-side integration, and structured error response formatting
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Client-side form validation without server-side validation (security risk)
  • ×Database schema design or SQL query optimization
  • ×Runtime type checking for existing JavaScript codebases without TypeScript
  • ×UI component prop validation (use PropTypes or TypeScript interfaces instead)
Expects

TypeScript code context with specific validation requirements, data structures, and error handling needs for API endpoints, forms, or data pipelines.

Returns

Production-ready Zod schemas with proper TypeScript type inference, composed validation logic, error handling patterns, and integration examples.
