Data validation with Zod and TypeScript

[Gpx]

Hi all, I started using the approach described in this article to validate my query request and response data with Zod and TypeScript. I'll post the interesting bit of code here:

const GetRepositoryRequest = z.void();
const GetRepositoryResponse = z.object({ name: z.string().min(1) });
export const getRepository = api<
  z.infer<typeof GetRepositoryRequest>,
  z.infer<typeof GetRepositoryResponse>
>({
  method: HTTPMethod.GET,
  path: "/repository",
  requestSchema: GetRepositoryRequest,
  responseSchema: GetRepositoryResponse,
});

I was wondering what everyone thought about it. If people find it useful, I'm thinking of publishing a library that generalizes the same approach.

Thanks for the feedback!

@Gpx I know it's an old thread but:

I went to use your approach and it's great, thanks for sharing it :)

The minor change I've made is to pass the path next to the requestData because I needed dynamic values in my path.. like so getRepository(path, data)

I'm glad it helped @olivierdelomez 😄
