Do I spy Zod in Next.js 😱 github.com/vercel/next.js…
Colin McDonnell

For people using Colin McDonnell 's zod, the good news is that it's integrated in the library.

Simply use branded types and infer. I encourage you to read their doc on branded types, it's brilliant!

zod.dev/?id=brand

Zod turns 3 today! That's like 50 in JavaScript-years!

Here's the original announcement post: colinhacks.com/essays/zod

I'd heard the 'parse, don't validate' mantra before but just recently tracked down Alexis King's original post and it finally clicked. Honestly a relief have such a concrete explanation of why using tools like Zod and Pydantic 'feels' so right. lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/0…

David K 🎹 Kent C. Dodds 🌌 We built schema based forms using 📋 React Hook Form + Zod + form components we created + custom components can be added.
We can manually compose forms, or generate from JSON and it really saves so much time (and so many calls to useState)

Zod's `.catch(default)` method is SOOO good.

Thanks Colin McDonnell

Did you know TypeScript doesn't provide runtime type safety? Zod is here to save you.

Plus it works great with Convex!

i like this

I don't want to brag but I just got even cooler

Playing with Zod to validate some API results in my #reactnative app, what a delight! 😍 I love the simplicity of the Zod API. No more excuse to protect your frontend app from bad data format 🔒

one `z.string()` to rule them all

i only have one question
