20
-
21
- ## The Golden Rule
22
-
23
- ```
24
- Every trust boundary gets a schema.
25
- No exceptions. No shortcuts. No "I'll add validation later."
26
-
27
- Trust Boundaries:
28
- ✅ API request bodies (user → server)
29
- ✅ URL params / query strings (user → server)
30
- ✅ Environment variables (env → app)
31
- ✅ External API responses (3rd party → app)
32
- ✅ Database query results (DB → app, if untyped)
33
- ✅ File uploads (user → server)
34
- ✅ WebSocket messages (client → server)
35
- ✅ Form inputs (user → UI)
36
- ```
37
-
38

39
-
40
- ## Zod (Recommended — TypeScript)
41
-
42
- ### Basic Schemas
43
-
44
- ```typescript
45
- import { z } from "zod";
46
-
47
- // Primitives with constraints
48
- const Email = z.string().email().toLowerCase().trim();
49
- const Age = z.number().int().min(0).max(150);
50
- const Username = z.string().min(3).max(30).regex(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/);
51
- const URL = z.string().url().startsWith("https://");
52
-
53
- // Object schema
54
- const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
55
- name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
56
- email: Email,
57
- age: Age.optional(),
58
- role: z.enum(["admin", "editor", "viewer"]).default("viewer"),
59
- metadata: z.record(z.string(), z.unknown()).optional(),
60
- });
61
-
62
- // ✅ Infer TypeScript types from schemas (single source of truth)
63
- type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof CreateUserSchema>;
64
- // → { name: string; email: string; age?: number; role: "admin" | "editor" | "viewer"; ... }
65
- ```
66
-
67
- ### Composition & Reuse
68
-
69
- ```typescript
70
- // ✅ Base schema + extend for variants
71
- const BaseUserSchema = z.object({
72
- name: z.string().min(2),
73
- email: z.string().email(),
74
- });
75
-
76
- const CreateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.extend({
77
- password: z.string().min(8),
78
- confirmPassword: z.string(),
79
- }).refine((data) => data.password === data.confirmPassword, {
80
- message: "Passwords don't match",
81
- path: ["confirmPassword"],
82
- });
83
-
84
- const UpdateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.partial(); // all fields optional
85
-
86
- // ✅ Pick / Omit
87
- const LoginSchema = BaseUserSchema.pick({ email: true }).extend({
88
- password: z.string(),
89
- });
90
-
91
- // ✅ Merge two schemas
92
- const FullProfileSchema = BaseUserSchema.merge(AddressSchema);
93
- ```
94
-
95
- ### API Boundary Validation
96
-
97
- ```typescript
98
- // ✅ Server-side: validate at the boundary, type-safe downstream
99
- import { z } from "zod";
100
-
101
- // Define once, use everywhere
102
- const QuerySchema = z.object({
103
- page: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).default(1),
104
- limit: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).max(100).default(20),
105
- sort: z.enum(["created", "updated", "name"]).default("created"),
106
- order: z.enum(["asc", "desc"]).default("desc"),
107
- search: z.string().max(200).optional(),
108
- });
109
-
110
- // Express middleware
111
- function validate<T extends z.ZodType>(schema: T) {
112
- return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
113
- const result = schema.safeParse(req.body);
114
- if (!result.success) {
115
- return res.status(400).json({
116
- error: "Validation failed",
117
- issues: result.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
118
- });
119
- }
120
- req.body = result.data; // ✅ Validated + coerced data replaces raw body
121
- next();
122
- };
123
- }
124
-
125
- app.post("/api/users", validate(CreateUserSchema), async (req, res) => {
126
- // req.body is now fully typed and validated
127
- const user = await createUser(req.body);
128
- res.status(201).json(user);
129
- });
130
-
131
- // ❌ BAD: Validating inside the handler
132
- // ✅ GOOD: Validation as middleware — keeps handlers clean
133
- ```
134
-
135
- ### Error Formatting
136
-
137
- ```typescript
138
- // ✅ User-friendly error messages
139
- const result = CreateUserSchema.safeParse(rawInput);
140
-
141
- if (!result.success) {
142
- // .flatten() — flat structure for simple forms
143
- const flat = result.error.flatten();
144
- // { fieldErrors: { email: ["Invalid email"], name: ["Too short"] } }
145
-
146
- // .format() — nested structure matching schema shape
147
- const formatted = result.error.format();
148
- // { email: { _errors: ["Invalid email"] }, name: { _errors: ["Too short"] } }
149
-
150
- // Custom error map (global)
151
- z.setErrorMap((issue, ctx) => {
152
- if (issue.code === z.ZodIssueCode.too_small) {
153
- return { message: `Must be at least ${issue.minimum} characters` };
154
- }
155
- return { message: ctx.defaultError };
156
- });
157
- }
158
- ```
159
-
160
- ---
161
-
162
- ## Environment Validation (Fail Fast)
163
-
164
- ```typescript
165
- // ✅ Validate ALL env vars at startup — crash immediately if invalid
166
- const EnvSchema = z.object({
167
- NODE_ENV: z.enum(["development", "production", "test"]),
168
- PORT: z.coerce.number().default(3000),
169
- DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
170
- REDIS_URL: z.string().url().optional(),
171
- JWT_SECRET: z.string().min(32, "JWT_SECRET must be ≥ 32 characters"),
172
- API_KEY: z.string().min(1),
173
- LOG_LEVEL: z.enum(["debug", "info", "warn", "error"]).default("info"),
174
- });
175
-
176
- export const env = EnvSchema.parse(process.env);
177
-
178
- // ❌ TRAP: process.env.DATABASE_URL! ← crashes at RUNTIME, not startup
179
- // ✅ Parse at module load → crash at STARTUP with clear error message
180
- ```
181
-

183
-
184
- ## Pydantic (Python)
185
-
186
- ```python
187
- from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, field_validator, model_validator
188
- from datetime import datetime
189
-
190

193
- age: int | None = Field(default=None, ge=0, le=150)

207

208

209
- # FastAPI uses Pydantic automatically
210
- @app.post("/users")
211

212
- # user is already validated and typed
213
- return await db.create_user(user.model_dump())
214
- ```
215

216

217
-
218
- ## Form Validation (React + Zod)
219
-
220
- ```tsx
221
- // ✅ React Hook Form + Zod = type-safe forms
222
- import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
223
- import { zodResolver } from "@hookform/resolvers/zod";
224
- import { z } from "zod";
225
-
226
- const SignupSchema = z.object({
227
- email: z.string().email("Invalid email address"),
228
- password: z.string()
229
- .min(8, "Password must be at least 8 characters")
230
- .regex(/[A-Z]/, "Must contain uppercase letter")
231
- .regex(/[0-9]/, "Must contain a number"),
232
- terms: z.literal(true, {
233
- errorMap: () => ({ message: "You must accept the terms" }),
234
- }),
235
- });
236
-
237
- type SignupData = z.infer<typeof SignupSchema>;
238
-
239
- function SignupForm() {
240
- const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors } } = useForm<SignupData>({
241
- resolver: zodResolver(SignupSchema),
242
- });
243
-
244
- return (
245
- <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((data) => signup(data))}>
246
- <input {...register("email")} />
247
- {errors.email && <span>{errors.email.message}</span>}
248
-
249
- <input type="password" {...register("password")} />
250
- {errors.password && <span>{errors.password.message}</span>}
251
-
252
- <label>
253
- <input type="checkbox" {...register("terms")} />
254
- I accept the terms
255
- </label>
256
- {errors.terms && <span>{errors.terms.message}</span>}
257
-
258
- <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
259
- </form>
260
- );
261
- }
262

266
- ## Schema Anti-Patterns
267
-
268
- ```
269
- ❌ z.any() / z.unknown() as a lazy escape — defeats the purpose
270
- ❌ Validating on client only — server is the security boundary
271
- ❌ Different schemas for same entity on client vs server — drift guaranteed
272
- ❌ Coercing without documenting — z.coerce.number() silently converts "abc" → NaN
273
- ❌ Skipping .safeParse() in user-facing code — .parse() throws, bad UX
274
- ❌ Giant monolithic schemas — use .extend(), .pick(), .merge() for composition
275
- ❌ Not validating 3rd-party API responses — "they'll always return what docs say"
276
- ```

+ metadata: z.record(z.string(), z.unknown()).optional(),
60
+ });
61
+
62
+ // ✅ Infer TypeScript types from schemas (single source of truth)
63
+ type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof CreateUserSchema>;
64
+ // → { name: string; email: string; age?: number; role: "admin" | "editor" | "viewer"; ... }
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ ### Composition & Reuse
68
+
69
+ ```typescript
70
+ // ✅ Base schema + extend for variants
71
+ const BaseUserSchema = z.object({
72
+ name: z.string().min(2),
73
+ email: z.string().email(),
74
+ });
75
+
76
+ const CreateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.extend({
77
+ password: z.string().min(8),
78
+ confirmPassword: z.string(),
79
+ }).refine((data) => data.password === data.confirmPassword, {
80
+ message: "Passwords don't match",
81
+ path: ["confirmPassword"],
82
+ });
83
+
84
+ const UpdateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.partial(); // all fields optional
85
+
86
+ // ✅ Pick / Omit
87
+ const LoginSchema = BaseUserSchema.pick({ email: true }).extend({
88
+ password: z.string(),
89
+ });
90
+
91
+ // ✅ Merge two schemas
92
+ const FullProfileSchema = BaseUserSchema.merge(AddressSchema);
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ ### API Boundary Validation
96
+
97
+ ```typescript
98
+ // ✅ Server-side: validate at the boundary, type-safe downstream
99
+ import { z } from "zod";
100
+
101
+ // Define once, use everywhere
102
+ const QuerySchema = z.object({
103
+ page: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).default(1),
104
+ limit: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).max(100).default(20),
105
+ sort: z.enum(["created", "updated", "name"]).default("created"),
106
+ order: z.enum(["asc", "desc"]).default("desc"),
107
+ search: z.string().max(200).optional(),
108
+ });
109
+
110
+ // Express middleware
111
+ function validate<T extends z.ZodType>(schema: T) {
112
+ return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
113
+ const result = schema.safeParse(req.body);
114
+ if (!result.success) {
115
+ return res.status(400).json({
116
+ error: "Validation failed",
117
+ issues: result.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
118
+ });
119
+ }
120
+ req.body = result.data; // ✅ Validated + coerced data replaces raw body
121
+ next();
122
+ };
123
+ }
124
+
125
+ app.post("/api/users", validate(CreateUserSchema), async (req, res) => {
126
+ // req.body is now fully typed and validated
127
+ const user = await createUser(req.body);
128
+ res.status(201).json(user);
129
+ });
130
+
131
+ // ❌ BAD: Validating inside the handler
132
+ // ✅ GOOD: Validation as middleware — keeps handlers clean
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ ### Error Formatting
136
+
137
+ ```typescript
138
+ // ✅ User-friendly error messages
139
+ const result = CreateUserSchema.safeParse(rawInput);
140
+
141
+ if (!result.success) {
142
+ // .flatten() — flat structure for simple forms
143
+ const flat = result.error.flatten();
144
+ // { fieldErrors: { email: ["Invalid email"], name: ["Too short"] } }
145
+
146
+ // .format() — nested structure matching schema shape
147
+ const formatted = result.error.format();
148
+ // { email: { _errors: ["Invalid email"] }, name: { _errors: ["Too short"] } }
149
+
150
+ // Custom error map (global)
151
+ z.setErrorMap((issue, ctx) => {
152
+ if (issue.code === z.ZodIssueCode.too_small) {
153
+ return { message: `Must be at least ${issue.minimum} characters` };
154
+ }
155
+ return { message: ctx.defaultError };
156
+ });
157
+ }
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ ---
161
+
162
+ ## Environment Validation (Fail Fast)
163
+
164
+ ```typescript
165
+ // ✅ Validate ALL env vars at startup — crash immediately if invalid
166
+ const EnvSchema = z.object({
167
+ NODE_ENV: z.enum(["development", "production", "test"]),
168
+ PORT: z.coerce.number().default(3000),
169
+ DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
170
+ REDIS_URL: z.string().url().optional(),
171
+ JWT_SECRET: z.string().min(32, "JWT_SECRET must be ≥ 32 characters"),
172
+ API_KEY: z.string().min(1),
173
+ LOG_LEVEL: z.enum(["debug", "info", "warn", "error"]).default("info"),
174
+ });
175
+
176
+ export const env = EnvSchema.parse(process.env);
177
+
178
+ // ❌ TRAP: process.env.DATABASE_URL! ← crashes at RUNTIME, not startup
179
+ // ✅ Parse at module load → crash at STARTUP with clear error message
180
+ ```

214

217

218
+ ## Form Validation (React + Zod)
219
+
220
+ ```tsx
221
+ // ✅ React Hook Form + Zod = type-safe forms
222
+ import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
223
+ import { zodResolver } from "@hookform/resolvers/zod";
224
+ import { z } from "zod";
225
+
226
+ const SignupSchema = z.object({
227
+ email: z.string().email("Invalid email address"),
228
+ password: z.string()
229
+ .min(8, "Password must be at least 8 characters")
230
+ .regex(/[A-Z]/, "Must contain uppercase letter")
231

232
+ terms: z.literal(true, {
233
+ errorMap: () => ({ message: "You must accept the terms" }),
234
+ }),
235
+ });
236
+
237
+ type SignupData = z.infer<typeof SignupSchema>;
238
+
239
+ function SignupForm() {
240
+ const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors } } = useForm<SignupData>({
241
+ resolver: zodResolver(SignupSchema),
242
+ });
243
+
244
+ return (
245
+ <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((data) => signup(data))}>
246
+ <input {...register("email")} />
247
+ {errors.email && <span>{errors.email.message}</span>}
248
+
249
+ <input type="password" {...register("password")} />
250
+ {errors.password && <span>{errors.password.message}</span>}
251
+
252
+ <label>
253

254
+ I accept the terms
255
+ </label>
256

257
+
258
+ <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
259
+ </form>
260
+ );
261
+ }
262
+ ```
263
+
264
+ ---
265
+
266
+ ## Schema Anti-Patterns
267
+
268
+ ```
269
+ ❌ z.any() / z.unknown() as a lazy escape — defeats the purpose
270
+ ❌ Validating on client only — server is the security boundary
271
+ ❌ Different schemas for same entity on client vs server — drift guaranteed
272
+ ❌ Coercing without documenting — z.coerce.number() silently converts "abc" → NaN
273
+ ❌ Skipping .safeParse() in user-facing code — .parse() throws, bad UX
274
+ ❌ Giant monolithic schemas — use .extend(), .pick(), .merge() for composition
275
+ ❌ Not validating 3rd-party API responses — "they'll always return what docs say"
276
+ ```
