DTO’s (Data Transfer Object) based on zod

Installation

Use npm or yarn to install

    npm install @anolilab/zod-dto --save

Or

    yarn add @anolilab/zod-dto

Usage

Basic usage

import { StringDto } from "@anolilab/zod-dto"

const dto = new StringDto("test string"); // the constructor has a zod validator

console.log(dto.value) // returns "test string"

If you don’t want Zod to throw errors when validation fails, use the second parameter of the constructor.

This method returns an object containing either the successfully parsed data or a ZodError instance containing detailed information about the validation problems.

import { StringDto } from "@anolilab/zod-dto"

const dto = new StringDto("1", true); // the constructor has a zod validator

console.log(dto.value) // return { success: false; error: ZodError }

You can transform the object to a json with

dto.toJson() // returns { value: "test string" }

You can get the zod object with

StringDto.zod() // returns ZodType

Example of using @anolilab/zod-dto in Entity dto

import { NumberDto, StringDto, AbstractDto, DatetimeDto } from "@anolilab/zod-dto";

export default abstract class AbstractEntity {
    protected abstract properties: object;

    readonly createdAt!: DatetimeDto;

    readonly updatedAt!: DatetimeDto;

    readonly deletedAt!: DatetimeDto;

    public toJson(): string {
        return JSON.stringify(this.prepareData());
    }

    public toObject<T extends { [key: string]: any }>(): T {
        return this.prepareData();
    }

    private prepareData<T extends { [key: string]: any }>(): T {
        const data: { [key: string]: any } = {};

        Object.entries(this.properties).forEach(([key, value]) => {
            let v = value;

            if (value instanceof AbstractDto) {
                v = value.value;
            } else {
                throw new TypeError(`Value of key ${key} needs to be a class that extends AbstractDto.`);
            }

            data[key] = v;
        });

        return data as any;
    }
}

export default class SettingEntity extends AbstractEntity {
    readonly id!: NumberDto;

    readonly phone!: StringDto;

    constructor(
        public properties: {
            id?: NumberDto;
            phone?: StringDto;
        },
    ) {
        super();

        Object.assign(this, properties);
        Object.freeze(this);
    }
}

const settingEntity = new SettingEntity({
    id: NumberDto.nullable(1),
    phone: StringDto.nullable("+4900000"),
})
