[Feature Request] Extensibility for Custom Validation Attributes in Zmodel.
Feature Request: Extensibility for Custom Validation Attributes in Zmodel
Context:
In my project, I needed to validate phone numbers using a custom Zod schema. While I was able to do this manually by refining the generated Zod schemas, it would be beneficial to have built-in extensibility in Zmodel for custom validation attributes like @phoneNumber.
Problem: Currently, Zmodel does not allow for custom validation attributes, making it difficult to handle specific validation logic like phone number validation across both frontend and backend seamlessly.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a mechanism in Zmodel that allows developers to define custom validation attributes, such as @phoneNumber, that can be used in the model definitions and automatically integrated into the generated Zod schemas.
Benefits:
- Streamline validation across frontend and backend.
- Reduce the need for manual refinement of schemas.
- Improve developer experience by reducing repetitive code.
Additional Context: I discussed this with one of your team members, and they mentioned that this functionality is not yet available but would be a great addition in the future.
Thank you for considering this feature request!
