Zod: Validate Data, Infer Types
Zod acts as a bouncer for your data, validating it against a schema you define and inferring TypeScript types automatically. It's essential for validating API inputs or form submissions. The main footgun is forgetting to enable "strict": true in your tsconfig.
Zod is a bouncer for your data: define a schema once, and it both validates runtime data and infers static TypeScript types, eliminating duplicate logic. It's crucial for validating API responses, environment variables, or form submissions in frameworks like Next.js. The biggest footgun is not enabling "strict": true in `tsconfig.json`, which silently undermines Zod's type safety guarantees and can lead to unexpected runtime errors.
