Converts Go structs to Zod schemas.
Usage:
type Post struct {
Title string
}
type User struct {
Name string
Nickname *string // pointers become optional
Age int
Height float64
Tags []string
Favourites []struct { // nested structs are kept inline
Name string
}
Posts []Post // external structs are emitted as separate exports
}
StructToZodSchema(User{})
Outputs:
export const PostSchema = z.object({
title: z.string(),
});
export type Post = z.infer<typeof PostSchema>;
export const UserSchema = z.object({
name: z.string(),
nickname: z.string().optional(),
age: z.number(),
height: z.number(),
tags: z.string().array(),
favourites: z
.object({
name: z.string(),
})
.array(),
posts: PostSchema.array(),
});
export type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>;
You can pass type name mappings to custom conversion functions:
c := supervillain.NewConverter(map[string]supervillain.CustomFn{
"github.com/shopspring/decimal.Decimal": func(c *supervillain.Converter, t reflect.Type, s, g string, i int) string {
// Shopspring's decimal type serialises to a string.
return "z.string()"
},
})
c.Convert(User{
Money decimal.Decimal
})
Outputs:
export const UserSchema = z.object({
Money: z.string(),
})
export type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>
There are some custom types with tests in the "custom" directory.
The function signature for custom type handlers is:
func(c *supervillain.Converter, t reflect.Type, typeName, genericTypeName string, indentLevel int) string
You can use the Converter to process nested types. The genericTypeName
is the name of the T
in Generic[T]
and the indent level is for passing to other converter APIs.
- Does not support self-referential types - should be a simple fix.
- Sometimes outputs in the wrong order - it really needs an intermediate DAG to solve this.
