Introducing Zod 4.1 and its flagship feature: codecs. z.codec() is a new API for defining *bi-directional transformations* in Zod

in the absence of an existing convention, I'm adding these three fields to Zod's package.json. making this stuff auto-discoverable would resolve one of the biggest usability issues with today's agents/IDEs. a simple convention here will go a long way! 🤘

folks in the Bay Area: come hang out! lu.ma/waqmeggb

Zod 4 stable will be released this Monday, May 19th!

Zod 4 is now in beta! 💎 7x faster object parsing 💎 20x reduction in tsc instantiations 💎 57% smaller core bundle size 💎 metadata via .meta() 💎 z.toJSONSchema() 💎 z.templateLiteral() 💎 z.stringbool() 💎 z.int32(), z.float32(), etc 💎 z.file() 💎 new logo 😇

if I may be so bold, I'd like to propose some much-needed nomenclature

i'm trying out a new OSS funding experiment—a "featured" sponsor slot at the top of the Zod README ✓ features are week-to-week (~140k impressions) ✓ simple auction-based pricing (per-week or standing bids accepted) ✓ artwork subject to approval DM/email me if your company is interested! 🤙

who suggested this and why weren't they fired immediately

star count for Standard Schema—pretty successful launch, i'd say 🤩

BIG DAY 😇 Introducing Standard Schema! It’s a specification for a standard interface to be implemented by TypeScript schema libraries. The goal is to make it easier for frameworks and tools to accept user-defined schemas, without writing separate adapters for different libraries. standardschema.dev

been building a website for the last 3 days. meticulously crafted UI. 100 lighthouse score. sent it to my non-software friend for feedback. her response changed my life

what loving god would allow this

hello here's a list of every pokemon name that still available on npm

yessssssssss finally i can structure things internally however I want w/o cluttering autocomplete for end users

I had it lying on my machine since August, it's time to tie 2024's loose ends 😅 so I finally got myself to push it out and open a PR cc @colinhacks.com @ssalbdivad.dev @effect-ts.bsky.social github.com/microsoft/Ty...

New API proposal 👉 z.envbool()

Standard Schema coming to zod. This is huge. Thanks @colinhacks.com 🚀

Devin implemented this PR for JWT validation in Zod

A simple general purpose memoizer utility for TypeScript - lazily computes a value when accessed - autocaches the result - typesafe i use this all the time...unlike a naive getter there's no runtime overhead after the first invokation since the getter itself is overwritten with the memoized value

my finest work as a designer is this logo for my (now defunct) company Bagel, where the first four characters are the same glyph rotated different amounts

neat trick to generate lists of test data with Array.from and a generator function

just discovered that Zod had $8k of claimable donations sitting in a crypto-based OSS donation platform i'd never heard of called Drips turns out Drips donated $1m of its (VC?) money to its own dependencies (including Zod)...and i will happily take it 🙃 www.drips.network

just posted a blog post on how Aurora was made over the last year or so! joelgustafson.com/posts/2024-1...

my friend Joel made this tool that visualizes all bsky accounts based on who everyone follows in the absence of twitter's "Who to follow" feature, it's also a hilariously over-engineered way to find new people to follow who are in your bluesky orbit [1/n] bsky.app/profile/synt...

great article for understanding the whole picture of Zod, what it can be used for, and the ecosystem surrounding it

30! 🎂

there will be two kinds of type system: one that is safe, fast, and makes sense to the entire world, and another that's super random our great nation will use the random one but with all the inconveniences of the first one

does anyone find it useful to follow people on github? feels like there's a ton of potential but GH forgot to make it useful. worried I'm doing it wrong

LibLab is now sponsoring Zod for $500/mo 🥰🥰🥰 liblab.com

okay i'm a true believer now 🦋

When vitest starts using the library you wrote as a prod dependency

learned something surprising while benchmarking "for...in" vs Reflect.ownKeys to iterate over an object's keys adding even one symbol key to an object makes this 8-12x slower. even weirder, the effect is bigger with for...in which doesn't even enumerate symbol keys

easily the biggest issue with ChatGPT Search is that it doesn't just print a bunch of Reddit links when you end your query with "reddit"

you can symlink packages/core/readme.md to the root of your repo and it just works, thanks Git(Hub)

the variance characteristics of function parameters are quite contraintuitive

okay I made a starter pack with my favorite TypeScript folks from the old site, mostly OSS maintainers let me know who I forgot 👀 go.bsky.app/84ChefN
