# Installation

Using npm:

```bash
 npm install prisma-zod-generator
```

Using yarn:

```bash
 yarn add prisma-zod-generator
```

# Usage

1- Star this repo 😉

2- Add the generator to your Prisma schema

```prisma
generator zod {
  provider = "prisma-zod-generator"
}
```

3- Enable strict mode in `tsconfig` as it is required by Zod, and considered a Typescript best practice

```ts
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true
  }
}

```

4- Running `npx prisma generate` for the following schema.prisma

```prisma
model User {
  id    Int     @id @default(autoincrement())
  email String  @unique
  name  String?
  posts Post[]
}

model Post {
  id        Int      @id @default(autoincrement())
  createdAt DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
  title     String
  content   String?
  published Boolean  @default(false)
  viewCount Int      @default(0)
  author    User?    @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
  authorId  Int?
  likes     BigInt
}
```

will generate the following files

![Zod Schemas](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/omar-dulaimi/prisma-zod-generator/master/zodSchemas.png)

5- Use generated schemas somewhere in your API logic, like middleware or decorator

```ts
import { PostCreateOneSchema } from './prisma/generated/schemas/createOnePost.schema';

app.post('/blog', async (req, res, next) => {
  const { body } = req;
  await PostCreateOneSchema.parse(body);
});
```

## Additional Options

| Option   |  Description                                   | Type     |  Default      |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------- |
| `output` | Output directory for the generated zod schemas | `string` | `./generated` |

Use additional options in the `schema.prisma`

```prisma
generator zod {
  provider   = "prisma-zod-generator"
  output     = "./generated-zod-schemas"
}
```
