toZod is a utility for defining Zod schemas that agree with a TypeScript type. It basically gives you auto-suggested properties for your schema by supplying toZod with a type. If your type ever changes, it will show an error notifying you that you need to change your schema accordingly.
I have successfully used toZod on types in the past, but now I'm trying to use toZod on a type that was inferred using TRPC's inferRouterOutput inference helper. I'm getting some kind of 'strip' error and none of my types are appearing when I press ctrl + space like I would usually get.
This is the code I currently have:
type RouterOutput = inferRouterOutputs<AppRouter>;
type DefinitionTree = RouterOutput["product"]["getProductDefinitionTree"];
const treeSchema: toZod<DefinitionTree> = z.object({
//properties should be showing up as suggestions (via ctrl + space)
}).array();
Upon hovering my mouse over 'TreeSchema', I get a message that shows the variable and then shows a type error message. I see the word "strip" in the error message so I'm wondering if that is a clue to what the issue is?
Here is the variable
const treeSchema: z.ZodArray<z.ZodObject<{
product: z.ZodNullable<z.ZodObject<{
id: z.ZodString;
name: z.ZodNullable<z.ZodString>;
*more properties etc....*
}, "strip", z.ZodTypeAny, {
...;
},{
...;
}>, "many">
Here are all of the errors
