using types from my project as output type

[MancTwonk]

Sorry if this is in the documentation but i could find it.

Is it possible to set the type of output using Types from within my application

i.e. if i have a Type

export type Foo = {
  bar: string
}

How do I set that as the output type

  method: 'post',
  input: z.object({
    foo: z.string().optional(),
  }),
  output: z.object({}), // <----- HERE i.e. output = { data: { THIS OBJECT IS OF TYPE FOO }}

Thanks in advance

Hello @MancTwonk ,

the concept works exactly the opposite way.
You declare schemas using zod schemas and then you can convert those schemas to Typescript types for your application (see Client generation in the docs).

In particular case:

const fooSchema = z.object({
  bar: z.string(),
});

then

// ...
output: fooSchema,

when using the defaultEndpointsFactory the final positive response will be exactly

{ 
  status: "success",
  data: { 
    foo: { 
      bar: string 
    } 
  } 
}

This way types can be declared more precise and contain additional features, like refinements and transformations.

However, if you still need to convert Typescript types to zod schemas, check out zod's ecosystem for the corresponding solution.
