true-myth-zod

A simple integration between True Myth and Zod.

Installation

This library intentionally does not bundle True Myth or Zod: it requires them as peer dependencies.

package manager	command
pnpm	pnpm install true-myth zod true-myth-zod
yarn	yarn add true-myth zod true-myth-zod
npm	npm install true-myth zod true-myth-zod

You must install a compatible version (pnpm and Yarn will check this for you):

package	minimum version
true-myth	9.0.0
zod	3.25.0

Usage

Write a schema with Zod, then wrap it with the parserFor or asyncParserFor functions exported by this library to produce a function that accepts unknown data and produces a True Myth Result (for sync parsing) or Task (for async parsing).

import * as z from 'zod/v4';
import { parserFor } from 'true-myth-zod';

// 1. Create the Zod schema.
const UserSchema = z.object({
  age: z.number(),
  name: z.string().optional(),
});

// 2. Wrap it with `parserFor` to create a version that produces a True Myth
//    `Result` instead of Zod's
const parseUser = parserFor(UserSchema);

const input: unknown = { age: 42, name: "Reference Guy" };

parseUser(input).match({
  Ok: (user) => {
    console.log(user.name ?? "someone", "is", user.age);
  },
  Err: (parseError) => {
    console.error(
      `could not parse data: ${input}`,
      parseError.message,
      parseError.cause,
      ...parseError.issues,
    );
  },
});

This library only depends on the zod/v4/core, so you can safely use it with either Zod or Zod Mini.
