zod-parser

Zod-Parser is a powerful and flexible library for parsing generic Zod schemas in TypeScript. It provides a neat abstraction for parsing complex Zod schemas and is capable of accepting a callback function for further formatting the output, giving you the power to customize how you want to handle parsed schemas.

Features

• Parses Zod Schemas into an understandable and manipulable structure.
• Supports Zod Objects, Arrays, Tuples, Records, Maps, Unions, Intersections and more.
• Allows for customization of output using a callback function.

Installation

To install Zod-Parser, use npm:

npm i zod-parser

Usage

Basic Example:

import { z } from 'zod';
import { parseZodType } from 'zod-parser';

const schema = z.object({
    name: z.string(),
    age: z.number().optional(),
    email: z.string().nullable(),
});

const parsedSchema = parseZodType(schema);

console.log(parsedSchema);

Customizing Output with a Callback Function:

import { z } from 'zod';
import { parseZodType } from 'zod-parser';

const schema = z.object({
    name: z.string(),
    age: z.number().optional(),
});

const format = (parsed: any) => {
    if (parsed.$type === 'ZodObject') {
        return 'I am an object';
    }
    return parsed;
};

const parsedSchema = parseZodType(schema, format);

console.log(parsedSchema);

API Documentation

parseZodType(zt, cb, opts)

• zt: z.ZodType: The Zod schema that you want to parse.
• cb?: (p: TZodParsed) => T: (optional) A callback function that takes the parsed schema and returns a customized output.
• opts: object: (optional) Options for parsing:
  • $optional?: boolean: Treat the schema as optional.
  • $nullable?: boolean: Treat the schema as nullable.
  • $value?: unknown: Set a default value for the schema.
  • $args?: T: Arguments for functions.
  • $returns?: T: Return value for functions.
  • $get?: () => T: Getter function for lazy types.
  • $getDefault?: (() => unknown): Default value function.

Returns: The parsed schema in the format determined by the parser and any customization done by the callback function.
