Purpose

Simplify common tasks in Zod
Fill the gap of features that might be missing in Zod
Provide implementations for potential new features in Zod

Contribute

Always open to ideas. Positive or negative, all are welcome. Feel free to contribute an issue or PR.

Yet another library

You might not want to install yet another library only to get access to that one Util you need. No worries. Feel free to copy and paste the code you need into your project. It won’t get updated when this library gets updated, but it will reduce your bundle size. :D

Perhaps in the future there will be a way to install only the Utilz you need. If you know how to do this, please let me know.

Installation

From npm (Node/Bun)

npm install zod_utilz
yarn add zod_utilz
pnpm add zod_utilz
bun add zod_utilz

Getting Started

import

Node/Bun

import { zu } from 'zod_utilz'

Deno

import { zu } from 'https://deno.land/x/zod_utilz/mod.ts'
// or
import { zu } from 'npm:zod_utilz'

Utilz

SPR

SPR stands for SafeParseResult

This enables optional chaining or nullish coalescing for z.SafeParseReturnType.

import { zu } from 'zod_utilz'
const schema = z.object( { foo: z.string() } )
const result = zu.SPR( schema.safeParse( { foo: 42 } ) )
const fooDataOrErrors = result.data?.foo ?? result.error?.format().foo?._errors

makeErrorMap

Simplifies the process of making a ZodErrorMap

import { zu } from 'zod_utilz'

const errorMap = zu.makeErrorMap( {
    required: 'Custom required message',
    invalid_type: ( { data } ) => `${ data } is an invalid type`,
    too_big: ( { maximum } ) => `Maximum length is ${ maximum }`,
    invalid_enum_value: ( { data, options } ) =>
        `${ data } is not a valid enum value. Valid options: ${ options?.join( ' | ' ) } `,
} )

const stringSchema = z.string( { errorMap } ).max( 32 )

zu.SPR( stringSchema.safeParse( undefined ) ).error?.issues[ 0 ].message
// Custom required message

zu.SPR( stringSchema.safeParse( 42 ) ).error?.issues[ 0 ].message
// 42 is an invalid type

zu.SPR( stringSchema.safeParse( 'this string is over the maximum length' ) ).error?.issues[ 0 ].message
// Maximum length is 32

const enumSchema = z.enum( [ 'foo', 'bar' ], { errorMap } )

zu.SPR( enumSchema.safeParse( 'baz' ) ).error?.issues[ 0 ].message
// baz is not a valid enum value. Valid options: foo | bar

useTypedParsers

Enables compile time type checking for zod parsers.

import { zu } from 'zod_utilz'
const schemaWithTypedParsers = zu.useTypedParsers( z.literal( 'foo' ) )

schemaWithTypedParsers.parse( 'foo' )
// no ts errors

schemaWithTypedParsers.parse( 'bar' )
//                            ^^^^^
// Argument of type '"bar"' is not assignable to parameter of type '"foo"'

coerce

Treats coercion errors like normal zod errors. Prevents throwing errors when using safeParse.

import { zu } from 'zod_utilz'
const schema = zu.coerce( z.bigint() )
zu.SPR( schema.safeParse( '42' ) ).data
// 42n
zu.SPR( schema.safeParse( 'foo' ) ).error?.issues[ 0 ].message
// 'Expected bigint, received string'

useURLSearchParams

A way to parse URLSearchParams

import { zu } from 'zod_utilz'
const schema = zu.useURLSearchParams(
    z.object( {
        string: z.string(),
        number: z.number(),
        boolean: z.boolean(),
    } )
)

zu.SPR( schema.safeParse(
    new URLSearchParams( {
        string: 'foo',
        number: '42',
        boolean: 'false',
    } )
) ).data
// { string: 'foo', number: 42, boolean: false }

zu.SPR( schema.safeParse(
    new URLSearchParams( {
        string: '42',
        number: 'false',
        boolean: 'foo',
    } )
) ).error?.format()
// {
//     formErrors: [],
//     fieldErrors: {
//         string: [ 'Expected string, received number' ],
//         number: [ 'Expected number, received boolean' ],
//         boolean: [ 'Expected boolean, received string' ],
//     }
// }
