Basic shape validation from existing schema

[bkdiehl]

I find that there are times when I wish I could validate against a more basic schema than the one I've defined. Say I have a schema that I use for form/server validation.

const schema = z.object({
  prop1: z.string().nonempty().min(4),
  prop2: z.number().min(3).max(8)
})

Sometimes, before populating a form I'd like to make sure that some unverified data I'm passing to it has the general shape expected by the schema.

// passes validation
{
  prop1: 'some value',
  prop2: 5
}

// fails validation
{
  prop1: '',
  prop2: 1
}

I'm wondering if there is a way to strip extended validation properties from a schema. The schema defined above could be stripped down to the following

const schema = z.object({
  prop1: z.string(),
  prop2: z.number()
})

This would allow me to validate against the shape of the data without having to validate against extended props like min/max.
