Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Generate zod schemas from typescript types/interfaces

Downloads

Readme

Generate Zod schemas (v3) from Typescript types/interfaces.

Version Github CI codecov License oclif

Usage

$ yarn add --dev ts-to-zod
$ yarn ts-to-zod src/iDontTrustThisApi.ts src/nowIcanValidateEverything.ts

That's it, go to src/nowIcanValidateEverything.ts file, you should have all the exported interface and type as Zod schemas with the following name pattern: ${originalType}Schema.

Note: The generated zod schemas have zod@next as dependency.

Embedded validation

To make sure the generated zod schemas are 100% compatible with your original types, this tool is internally comparing z.infer<generatedSchema> and your original type. If you are running on those validation, please open an issue 😀

Notes:

  • Only exported types/interface are tested (so you can have some private types/interface and just exports the composed type)
  • Even if this is not recommanded, you can skip this validation step with --skipValidation. (At your own risk!)

Validators

This tool supports some JSDoc tags inspired from openapi to generate zod validator.

List of supported keywords:

| JSDoc keyword | JSDoc Example | Generated Zod validator | | ---------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------- | | @minimum {number} | @minimum 42 | z.number().min(42) | | @maximum {number} | @maximum 42 | z.number().max(42) | | @minLength {number} | @minLength 42 | z.string().min(42) | | @maxLength {number} | @maxLength 42 | z.string().min(42) | | @format {"email"\|"uuid"\|"url"} | @format email | z.string().email() | | @pattern {regex} | @pattern ^hello | z.string().regex(/^hello/) |

Those JSDoc tags can also be combined:

// source.ts
export interface HeroContact {
  /**
   * The email of the hero.
   *
   * @format email
   */
  email: string;

  /**
   * The name of the hero.
   *
   * @minLength 2
   * @maxLength 50
   */
  name: string;

  /**
   * The phone number of the hero.
   *
   * @pattern ^([+]?d{1,2}[-s]?|)d{3}[-s]?d{3}[-s]?d{4}$
   */
  phoneNumber: string;

  /**
   * Does the hero has super power?
   *
   * @default true
   */
  hasSuperPower?: boolean;

  /**
   * The age of the hero
   *
   * @minimum 0
   * @maximum 500
   */
  age: number;
}

// output.ts
export const heroContactSchema = z.object({
  /**
   * The email of the hero.
   *
   * @format email
   */
  email: z.string().email(),

  /**
   * The name of the hero.
   *
   * @minLength 2
   * @maxLength 50
   */
  name: z.string().min(2).max(50),

  /**
   * The phone number of the hero.
   *
   * @pattern ^([+]?d{1,2}[-s]?|)d{3}[-s]?d{3}[-s]?d{4}$
   */
  phoneNumber: z.string().regex(/^([+]?d{1,2}[-s]?|)d{3}[-s]?d{3}[-s]?d{4}$/),

  /**
   * Does the hero has super power?
   *
   * @default true
   */
  hasSuperPower: z.boolean().default(true),

  /**
   * The age of the hero
   *
   * @minimum 0
   * @maximum 500
   */
  age: z.number().min(0).max(500),
});

Advanced configuration

If you want to customized the schema name or restrict the exported schemas, you can do this by adding a ts-to-zod.config.js at the root of your project.

Just run yarn ts-to-zod --init and you will have a ready to use configuration file (with a bit of typesafety).

Limitation

Since we are generating Zod schemas, we are limited by what Zod actually supports:

  • No type generics
  • No complex circular dependencies (you will be warn if you have some in your types)
  • No Record<number, …>

To resume, you can use all the primitive types and some the following typescript helpers:

  • Record<string, …>
  • Pick<>
  • Omit<>
  • Partial<>
  • Required<>
  • Array<>
  • Promise<>

This utils is design to work with one file only, and will reference types from the same file:

// source.ts
export type Id = string;
export interface Hero {
  id: Id;
  name: string;
}

// output.ts
export const idSchema = z.string();
export const heroSchema = z.object({
  id: idSchema,
  name: z.string(),
});

Programmatic API

You need more than one file? Want even more power? No problem, just use the tool as a library.

High-level function:

  • generate take a sourceText and generate two file getters

Please have a look to src/core/generate.test.ts for more examples.

Low-level functions:

  • generateZodSchema help you to generate export const ${varName} = ${zodImportValue}.object(…)
  • generateZodInferredType help you to generate export type ${aliasName} = ${zodImportValue}.infer<typeof ${zodConstName}>
  • generateIntegrationTests help you to generate a file comparing the original types & zod types

To learn more about thoses functions or their usages, src/core/generate.ts is a good starting point.

Local development

$ git clone
$ cd ts-to-zod
$ yarn
$ ./bin/run
USAGE
  $ ts-to-zod [input] [output]
  ...

You also have plenty of unit tests to play safely:

$ yarn test --watch

And a playground inside example, buildable with the following command:

$ yarn gen:example

Last note, if you are updating src/config.ts, you need to run yarn gen:config to have generate the schemas of the config (src/config.zod.ts) (Yes, we are using the tool to build itself #inception)

Have fun!
