Why is Zod integrated with this TypeScript skill?

TypeScript types are removed during compilation; Zod provides the necessary runtime checks to ensure that data coming from external APIs actually matches your expected types.

Does this skill support custom error handling?

Yes, it includes patterns for generic response wrappers that standardize success and error payloads, making error handling consistent across your app.

Does it help with refactoring legacy code?

Absolutely. It provides clear patterns for replacing 'any' types with 'unknown' and implementing type guards to safely migrate legacy JavaScript to strict TypeScript.

How does this skill improve my API development?

It enforces strict typing and runtime validation using Zod, ensuring data integrity across your entire stack and reducing runtime bugs.

Can I use this for frontend-only validation?

While focused on API contracts, the Zod patterns provided are excellent for form validation and general data sanitization within any TypeScript UI.

Desarrollo de API

Implements robust, type-safe API interfaces and Zod validation schemas for end-to-end TypeScript integrity.

Acerca de

This skill provides specialized patterns and best practices for building type-safe API contracts within TypeScript environments. It enforces strict typing rules, facilitates runtime validation through Zod schema integration, and provides standardized templates for generic API response wrappers. By utilizing this skill, developers can eliminate type ambiguity, prevent runtime errors from malformed data, and maintain a consistent, predictable interface between frontend and backend services.
