v0.1.5: Integrated Zod Schema Generation

🚀 Major Feature: Integrated Zod Schema Generation

This release introduces a groundbreaking improvement to the Next Prisma Flow generator by integrating zod-prisma-types generation directly within the generator, eliminating the need for external configuration and setup.

✨ What's New

🔧 Self-Contained Zod Generation

• The generator now automatically executes zod-prisma-types internally
• Creates local Zod schemas in the {output}/zod/ directory
• No more external zodPrismaImport configuration required
• Seamless integration with existing Flow templates

📁 Simplified Configuration

Before (v0.1.4):

generator zod {
  provider = "zod-prisma-types"
  output   = "../generated/zod"
}

generator flow {
  provider        = "./generator.js"
  output          = "../generated/flow"
  zodPrismaImport = "../generated/zod"  # ← No longer needed\!
  prismaImport    = "../lib/db"
  models          = ["User", "Todo"]
}

Now (v0.1.5):

generator flow {
  provider     = "./generator.js"
  output       = "../generated/flow"
  prismaImport = "../lib/db"
  models       = ["User", "Todo"]
}

🏗️ Enhanced Architecture

• Automatic Schema Generation: Zod schemas are generated first, before Flow templates
• Local Import Paths: All templates now import from local ../zod directory
• Improved Error Handling: Comprehensive validation and error reporting
• Better Developer Experience: Zero configuration complexity

🔄 Migration Guide

For existing projects, upgrading is simple:

1. Remove external zod generator from your schema.prisma:

   - generator zod {
   -   provider = "zod-prisma-types"
   -   output   = "../generated/zod"
   - }

2. Remove zodPrismaImport from Flow generator config:

   generator flow {
     provider     = "./generator.js"
     output       = "../generated/flow"
   - zodPrismaImport = "../generated/zod"
     prismaImport = "../lib/db"
     models       = ["User", "Todo"]
   }

3. Run generator: Everything else works automatically!

   npx prisma generate

🛡️ Technical Improvements

• Added Dependencies: zod-prisma-types is now a direct dependency
• New Error Classes: ZodGenerationError for better error handling
• Validation System: Ensures all required schemas are generated successfully
• Temporary Schema Handling: Secure creation and cleanup of temporary files
• Path Resolution: Improved relative path handling for nested directories

📦 What Gets Generated

The generator now creates this structure:

generated/flow/
├── zod/                    # ← New\! Auto-generated Zod schemas
│   └── index.ts
├── user/
│   ├── actions.ts
│   ├── atoms.ts
│   ├── hooks.ts
│   ├── routes.ts
│   └── types.ts           # ← Now imports from ../zod
├── todo/
│   └── ...
└── index.ts
