Zod schema validation
Loading "Schema Validation"

๐งโโ๏ธ BTW, I swapped your
useEffect
for a custom useFocusInvalid
hook, just so
you know.๐จโ๐ผ Let's make our validation better and more declarative. Prepare to delete a
lot of code!
One important thing you'll want to know is how Zod manages errors. When you use
zodSchema.parse
, it will throw an error if the data is invalid. If you use
zodSchema.safeParse
, it will return an object with a success
property that
tells you whether the data is valid or not. If it's not valid, it will also
have an error
property that contains the error object. If it is valid, it
will have a data
property that contains the parsed data.The Error Handling docs can be quite helpful.
You'll definitely want to use
.flatten
for this one:if (!result.success) {
console.log(result.error.flatten())
}
/*
{
formErrors: [],
fieldErrors: {
name: ['Expected string, received null'],
contactInfo: ['Invalid email']
},
}
*/
That shape may look a little familiar ๐
That should be enough to get you going.
