Validating request but not response ?

[astahmer]

Currently we can validate both the request payload sent and the response content using validate or none

Continuing my reasoning (and use-cases for openapi-zod-client) that not all APIs are in our own control, and therefore that we can only control what we send in the request payload,

would you consider having a validate mode (as a string enum ?) with the current boolean ?

something like:
validate: "request" | "response" | boolean

tbh I don't know if a response mode would really be useful but I added it in the example above so that every options are available

Hello Alex,

Thank you for the suggestion.
Yes, this could be an option passed to the validation plugin.
I think validating both request and response is better for everyone, even on controlled APIs. It allows for fail fast strategies.
But yes, i should not impose my views on zodios users.
I'll add this.

100% agree that everything should be validated on controlled API, i'm still in those use-cases where I don't have any control on the API used 😓

thanks for the quick answer !
