A very simple CLI tool to convert JSON objects or files into zod schemas.

json-to-zod -s myJson.json -t mySchema.ts

Options:

• --source/-s [source file name]
• --target/-t [(optional) target file name]
• --name/-n [(optional) schema name in output]
• --convertTuples/-c [(optional) handle tuples correctly]

import { jsonToZod } from "json-to-zod"

const myObject = {
    hello: "hi"
}

const result = jsonToZod(myObject)

console.log(result)

const schema = z.object({hello: z.string()});

Since zod can be more specific about the primitives sometime you want to be more precise.

Eg. if an string has been parsed to:

z.string();

But you know it is a date and therefor should be called:

z.string().date();

Then you can create a configuration file called: .jtzrc.yml and define schema overrides there.

Take a look at the .jtzrc.yml.example file.

You can use the convertTuples option to handle tuples correctly.

import { jsonToZod } from "json-to-zod"

const myTuple = [1, 'some string']

const result = jsonToZod(myTuple, "schema", false, true)

console.log(result)

const schema = z.tuple([z.number(), z.string()]);
