Introduction to Zod Schemas
Explore Zod, a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library, and its basic types.
What is Zod?
Welcome to Zod! It's a powerful, TypeScript-first validation library. Think of it as a guardian for your data.
Zod helps ensure that the data entering your application (from APIs, forms, etc.) matches the types you expect, even at runtime.
Why Use Zod? Type Safety!
TypeScript provides type safety during development, but what about data received from a server or user input? That data doesn't have TypeScript types.
Zod bridges this gap! It allows you to define a schema, validate runtime data against it, and automatically infer a TypeScript type from that schema. This gives you end-to-end type safety.
