Is it possible to retrieve the body schema for an alias?

Yes, just do an array find on you api definition

[michael-wolfenden]

I came up with this strongly typed version.

It would be nice if Zodius provided this helper so that schema's don't have to be declared separately from the Api to be retrieved later on. In our case we need it later for a form library that validates forms using zod schemas.

Can you elaborate the use case for this ?

[michael-wolfenden]

We currently use react-form-hook which allows you to provide a zod schema and the form will use that for validation.

Right now this requires us to separate the schema definition from the api definition like the following:

const createUserSchema = z.object({
  id: z.number(),
  name: z.string(),
  age: z.number().positive(),
  email: z.string().email(),
});

const apiClient = new Zodios('/api', [
  {
    method: "post",
    path: "/users",
    alias: "createUser",
    parameters: [
      {
        name: "user",
        type: "Body",
        schema: createUserSchema
      },
    ],
    response: user,
    errors,
  },  
]);

const App = () => {
  const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
    formState: { errors },
  } = useForm({
    resolver: zodResolver(createUserSchema),
  });

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((d) => console.log(d))}>
      ...
    </form>
  );
};

It would be nice to be able to define the api and extract the schema instead, something like

const apiClient = new Zodios('/api', [
  {
    method: "post",
    path: "/users",
    alias: "createUser",
    parameters: [
      {
        name: "user",
        type: "Body",
        schema: z.object({
            id: z.number(),
            name: z.string(),
            age: z.number().positive(),
            email: z.string().email(),
        })
      },
    ],
    response: user,
    errors,
  },  
]);

const App = () => {
  const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
    formState: { errors },
  } = useForm({
    resolver: zodResolver(bodySchemaForAlias('createUser'))
  });

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((d) => console.log(d))}>
      ...
    </form>
  );
};
