ZodKit Beta Release Notes

Version 0.2.0-beta (Production-Ready Features)

🎉 Major Features

This beta release introduces three production-ready commands with comprehensive testing, documentation, and security features.

✅ zodkit lint - Schema Linting with Auto-Fix

Lint Zod schemas for best practices and anti-patterns with automatic fixing capabilities.

Features:

  • 6 built-in linting rules:
    • require-description - Schemas should have descriptions
    • prefer-meta - Prefer .meta() over .describe()
    • no-any-type - Avoid z.any() usage
    • prefer-discriminated-union - Use discriminated unions
    • no-loose-objects - Avoid .passthrough() without .strict()
    • require-refinements - Complex validations need refinements
  • Auto-fix capability (experimental)
  • Severity filtering (error/warning/info)
  • JSON output support
  • Configurable rules via zodkit.config.json

Usage:

zodkit lint                           # Lint all schemas
zodkit lint "src/**/*.ts"             # Specific patterns
zodkit lint --fix                     # Auto-fix (use with caution)
zodkit lint --severity error          # Filter by severity
zodkit lint --format json --output lint-report.json

Coverage: 89 tests, 55-70% coverage

📊 zodkit stats - Schema Statistics & Bundle Impact Analysis

Generate comprehensive statistics and bundle impact analysis for your Zod schemas.

Features:

  • Type distribution - Count schemas by type (object, array, string, etc.)
  • Complexity metrics:
    • Max depth and field count
    • Refinement and transform counts
    • Complex schema identification
  • Hotspot detection - Find problematic schemas (loose objects, any types)
  • Bundle impact analysis:
    • Estimated bundle size contribution
    • Top 5 largest schemas
    • Size by schema with percentage breakdown
    • Optimization tips (excessive refinements, deep nesting)
  • Usage patterns - Common validation patterns (email, URL, UUID)
  • Recommendations - Actionable improvements

Usage:

zodkit stats                          # Analyze all schemas
zodkit stats "src/schemas/**/*.ts"    # Specific patterns
zodkit stats --verbose                # Detailed output
zodkit stats --format json --output stats.json

Coverage: 21 tests, 65-80% coverage

✨ zodkit create - Interactive Schema Builder

Build Zod schemas interactively with real-time validation and preview.

Features:

  • 7 predefined templates:
    • User profile with authentication
    • E-commerce product
    • Blog post
    • Comment/reply
    • Physical address
    • API response wrapper
    • Pagination metadata
  • 15+ field types: string, number, boolean, date, email, URL, UUID, array, object, enum, union, record, etc.
  • Field validations: min/max, regex, custom refinements
  • Real-time validation preview:
    • Reserved keyword detection (class, function, etc.)
    • Duplicate field checking
    • Invalid identifier detection
    • Best practice warnings
  • Live code preview: See generated code after each field
  • Error recovery: Undo last field if validation fails
  • Security-first:
    • Input validation with Zod
    • Max field limits (1000)
    • Name length limits (100 chars)
    • LRU cache for performance
  • JSON output: Machine-readable output for automation

Usage:

zodkit create                         # Interactive builder
zodkit create --template user --name UserProfile
zodkit create --template user --name UserProfile --output src/schemas/user.schema.ts
zodkit create --template user --name UserProfile --format json

Coverage: 21 preview validation tests, 166 create command tests

🏗️ Infrastructure & Code Quality

Runtime Validation

  • Created src/core/command-validation.ts
  • All command options validated with Zod schemas
  • Type-safe validation with helpful error messages
  • Prevents invalid inputs at runtime

Standardized Error Handling

  • Created src/core/error-handler.ts (380 lines)
  • Structured CommandError class with error codes
  • 12 specific error codes for different failure types
  • Node.js system error handling (ENOENT, EACCES, etc.)
  • Zod validation error formatting
  • Helpful suggestions for common errors
  • Proper exit codes (0-12 based on error type)
  • Verbose mode for debugging

Real-time Schema Validation

  • Created src/core/schema-preview.ts (345 lines)
  • Production-grade validation engine:
    • Reserved JavaScript keywords (32 keywords)
    • Field name validation (regex-based)
    • Duplicate detection
    • Security limits (1000 fields, 100 char names)
  • Performance optimizations:
    • LRU cache (max 100 entries)
    • Efficient Set-based lookups
  • Comprehensive error/warning system

Stats Command

  • Bundle Impact: Estimates only, actual sizes may vary by bundler
  • Use for: Relative comparison, not absolute sizing

Create Command

  • Real-time Preview: Only validates in interactive mode (not template mode)
  • Schema Execution: Mock validation only (no actual Zod execution in sandbox)
