feat(zod-openapi): implement Zod schema validation on response

[masnormen]

Hi, here is my try to implement a fix for #181.

Because this (might be) a breaking change, and not all people might want to use the feature, I implemented them behind the flag strictStatusCode?: boolean, strictResponse?: boolean so we can enable the feature when initializing OpenAPIHono

• strictStatusCode: basically we read from RouterConfig about the list of possible status codes, and just return an error whenever the schema doesn't contain the status code.
• strictResponse basically matches the status code, get that status code's schema, then do safeParseAsync against the data.

Honestly I still don't know the best practice in Hono on how throw and/or modify the response (and if this is a minor or major bump). I hope the tests can make it more clear though. Thank you

Hi @masnormen

Thank for the PR! Please wait a little while, I'll look at it in detail later. This may sound difficult, but I'll see if we can't also validate the "types".

[masnormen]

Hi, thank you, it's fine. Before this I've also tried exploring the typing but it seems TypeScript doesn't really support it...

Yeah. We often can't do what we want to do with TypeScript.

Hi @masnormen

You are right, type validations seem difficult, so let's not consider it this time.

This PR looks good to me, but I am curious about one point about returning an error. If the validation fails, it returns a 500 response, as shown below, but ideally it would be better to allow the user to customize it.

middleware/packages/zod-openapi/src/index.ts

Lines 284 to 286 in edd0326

	c.res = c.json(result.error, {
	status: 500,
	})

middleware/packages/zod-openapi/src/index.ts

Lines 300 to 308 in edd0326

	c.res = c.json(
	{
	success: false,
	error: 'Response code does not match any of the defined responses.',
	},
	{
	status: 500,
	}
	)

However, the API can be complex. What do you think about this?

[masnormen]

@yusukebe We probably can make .route() take some kind of hook for that purpose.

But at this point, I think there would be a need to make distinction between a beforeHook for the current implemented hook (for request validation) and a new afterHook/responseHook (for response validation.

Should we make OpenAPIHono take a defaultAfterHook, and make .route() take a fourth argument for afterHook? Or maybe overload the third argument to take an object like { beforeHook: ..., afterHook: ... }? I saw Elysia use this type of distinction

Yeah. I think so. It's good!

I think either is fine, but the second - { beforeHook: ..., afterHook: ... } might be better. It prevents longer arguments and is easier to handle when the number of arguments increases.

[masnormen]

Come to think of it, it's better if this before/after hook stuff is implemented in the main Hono first. But currently I don't have the resource to look into that

You are right, maybe we should rethink from the design of Hono's Validator. Or we could make “Response” validation only with Zod OpenAPI. Either way, we'd do it without too much haste.

Is there some deadline to merge that PR ? I would like to using that in my project 😄
