Integrating Zod in tRPC Procedures

Welcome! In this lesson, we'll learn how to integrate Zod schemas directly into your tRPC procedures. This powerful combination ensures your API inputs are always valid and type-safe from end-to-end.

You'll see how to apply Zod for both query and mutation procedures, making your backend more robust and developer-friendly.

Input validation is a critical part of building secure and reliable APIs. It's like a quality check at the entrance of your backend.

• Security: Prevents malicious or malformed data from reaching your server logic.
• Data Integrity: Ensures your database only stores valid and expected data formats.
• Predictability: Your backend logic can trust the shape of incoming data, reducing runtime errors.
• Better DX: Developers get immediate feedback on incorrect inputs.
