Laravel Zodgen

This is a package that generates Zod schemas from Laravel FormRequests. This allows you to share your validation rules between your Laravel backend and your TypeScript frontend.

Features

• Generate Zod schemas from Laravel FormRequests
• Support Nested arrays and objects

Supported Versions

This library supports the following versions:

• Laravel 9.x and 10.x
• TypeScript 5.0 and above

Installation

$ npm install -D @7nohe/laravel-zodgen

Usage

Edit package.json

{
    "scripts": {
        "zodgen": "laravel-zodgen"
    },
}

$ npm run zodgen

Example

For example, you have the FormRequest class below.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class StorePostRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     */
    public function authorize(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array<string, \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Rule|array|string>
     */
    public function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'body' => 'required|string',
        ];
    }
}

After running the zodgen command, you will get the following output.

export const StorePostRequest = z.object({
    title: z.string().max(255).nonempty(),
    body: z.string().nonempty()
});

Optionally you can use --coercion option to coerce primitive values.

export const StorePostRequest = z.object({
    title: z.coerce.string().max(255).nonempty(),
    body: z.coerce.string().nonempty()
});
