Generate Zod Schemas from API Response
This example generates Zod schemas with TypeScript type inference from a typical REST API response. The pre-filled JSON represents a user object with nested address, array of roles, and array of post objects. Switch to Zod mode to see the generated schemas.
What You Get
The tool produces:
- A root
RootSchemawithz.object()and all top-level fields RootUserAddressSchemafor the nested address objectRootPostsItemSchemafor array itemsz.optional()for fields missing from some array items- TypeScript types inferred via
z.infer<typeof SchemaName> - Proper imports from
zod
How to Use
- The example loads with a sample API response and Zod mode pre-selected
- Inspect the generated schemas and inferred types
- Copy the code and paste it into your TypeScript project (install zod first:
npm install zod) - Replace with your actual API response to generate schemas for your endpoints
Real-World Pattern
Zod schemas provide both runtime validation and compile-time type safety from a single definition. Use schema.parse(data) to validate API responses, form inputs, or any external data. The inferred types eliminate duplication between your validation logic and TypeScript interfaces.
