  • Using Arktype in Place of Zod - How to Adapt Parsers
    4 projects | dev.to | 12 Jun 2024
    Ever since I started using Zod, a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library, I've been a big fan and started using it in all my projects. Zod allows you to ensure the safety of your data at runtime, extending TypeScript’s type-checking capabilities beyond compile-time. Whenever I need to validate data from an outside source, such as an API, FormData, or URL, Zod has been my go-to tool.

    This is a very fair comment, and you seem open to understanding why types are useful.

    "problems that are due to typing" is a very difficult thing to unpack because types can mean _so_ many things.

    Static types are absolutely useless (and, really, a net negative) if you're not using them well.

    Types don't help if you don't spend the time modeling with the type system. You can use the type system to your advantage to prevent invalid states from being represented _at all_.

    As an example, consider a music player that keeps track of the current song and the current position in the song.

    If you model this naively you might do something like: https://gist.github.com/shepherdjerred/d0f57c99bfd69cf9eada4...

    In the example above you _are_ using types. It might not be obvious that some of these issues can be solved with stronger types, that is, you might say that "You rarely see problems that are due to typing".

    Here's an example where the type system can give you a lot more safety: https://gist.github.com/shepherdjerred/0976bc9d86f0a19a75757...

    You'll notice that this kind of safety is pretty limited. If you're going to write a music app, you'll probably need API calls, local storage, URL routes, etc.

    TypeScript's typechecking ends at the "boundaries" of the type system, e.g. it cannot automatically typecheck your fetch or localStorage calls return the correct types. If you're casting, you're bypassing the type systems and making it worthless. Runtime type checking libraries like Zod [0] can take care of this for you and are able to typecheck at the boundaries of your app so that the type system can work _extremely_ well.

    [0]: https://zod.dev/ note: I mentioned Zod because I like it. There are _many_ similar libraries.

  • From Flaky to Flawless: Angular API Response Management with Zod
    1 project | dev.to | 25 Apr 2024
    Zod is an open-source schema declaration and validation library that emphasizes TypeScript. It can refer to any data type, from simple to complex. Zod eliminates duplicative type declarations by inferring static TypeScript types and allows easy composition of complex data structures from simpler ones. It has no dependencies, is compatible with Node.js and modern browsers, and has a concise, chainable interface. Zod is lightweight (8kb when zipped), immutable, with methods returning new instances. It encourages parsing over validation and is not limited to TypeScript but works well with JavaScript as well.
