@soapjs/soap-zod

One Zod schema for request validation and OpenAPI fragments — no duplicate JSON Schema definitions.

Depends only on @soapjs/soap (route apiDoc / DecoratorRegistry) and express (middleware shape). Does not require @soapjs/soap-express or @soapjs/soap-openapi.

Install

npm install @soapjs/soap-zod zod @soapjs/soap express

Use with @soapjs/soap-express controllers in your app if you like — that is an app choice, not a dependency of this package.

Usage

import { z } from 'zod';
import { Post, Controller } from '@soapjs/soap-express';
import { bodyContract } from '@soapjs/soap-zod';

const CreateBody = z.object({ name: z.string(), universe: z.enum(['marvel', 'dc']) });

@Controller('/characters')
class CharactersController {
  @Post('/', bodyContract(CreateBody, { tags: ['characters'], summary: 'Create' }))
  async create() { /* ... */ }
}

bodyContract() sets middlewares.pre (Zod validation) and apiDoc (ApiDocFragment for @soapjs/soap-openapi).
