feat: add a tool that could rewrite a Zod schema into a Valibot schema

[kazizi55]

If there is the codemod just like next.js codemod or storybook codemod, it would be so smooth to transfer from Zod to Valibot 😄

FYI https://github.com/fabian-hiller/valibot/pull/77#issuecomment-1741880644

If this request is approved, I will create a PR for this 😄

[fabian-hiller]

Yes, that is a great idea. Maybe somehow related to #229. I would be very interested in supporting that directly on our website as a developer tool. So you can copy and past.

Thanks!

Sounds great 😄 I'm gonna work on it!

BTW, how about the codemod? The codemod would be also convenient, especially when a large amount of transition from Zod to Valibot, because all we have to do is to execute an command in CLI.

[fabian-hiller]

Yes, a codemod would be great. We can make it available via a CLI and as a tool on the website.

Isn't this already available?

[fabian-hiller]

Yes it is but in my understanding it can only transform a TypeScript type to a schema and not a schema to another schema.

@kazizi55 do you have experience creating code mods or should I reach out to the community to create one? Maybe we can have a look at one of the "zod-to-x" packages and change it to Valibot.

@fabian-hiller Sorry for my late reply 🙏

Could you reach out the the community? Recently I've been busy and won't be able to take over for a while...

And I closed this draft PR: https://github.com/fabian-hiller/valibot/pull/268

[fabian-hiller]

No worries. I will reach out to the community.

[fabian-hiller]

I'm still interested, but I don't think I'll be able to work on it in the next 6 months, so I'm closing this issue for now.
