# Zod 런타임 유효성 검사 통합

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 type schema = single source of truth"**. Zod는 매 TypeScript type을 런타임 schema 로 정의하고, parse 시점에 매 validation + type narrowing 을 동시 제공한다. API boundary, env vars, form input 매 unsafe input 의 매 첫 검증선.

## 매 핵심

### 매 동기 (Why Zod over alternatives)
- **TypeScript types are erased**: 매 컴파일 후 `interface User`는 매 사라짐 → API response 의 `data as User` 매 lying.
- **Zod = schema → type**: `z.infer<typeof Schema>` 로 매 schema 가 source of truth.
- **Composability**: 매 `.merge`, `.partial`, `.extend`, `.transform` 으로 매 schema 합성.
- **Error-rich**: parse failure 시 매 path, code, message tree 반환.

### 매 경쟁 라이브러리
- **Yup**: 매 older, schema → type 약함, 매 Zod 가 대체.
- **io-ts**: 매 더 functional (fp-ts), 매 learning curve 높음.
- **Valibot**: 매 tree-shakable, 매 bundle size 우선이면 고려 (~10x smaller).
- **ArkType**: 매 string-based syntax, 매 빠르지만 ecosystem 작음.
- **Zod**: 매 default choice in 2026 — DX, ecosystem (tRPC, React Hook Form), maturity.

### 매 응용
1. **API boundary**: fetch response 매 parse 후 typed 으로 사용.
2. **Form validation**: React Hook Form + zodResolver.
3. **env vars**: `process.env` 의 매 schema parse, missing key 시 즉시 fail.
4. **DB row → domain**: ORM 결과 매 `Schema.parse(row)`.
5. **LLM structured output**: Claude/GPT JSON response 매 schema 로 검증.

## 💻 패턴

### Pattern 1: 기본 schema + type inference
```typescript
import { z } from "zod";

export const UserSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string().uuid(),
  email: z.string().email(),
  age: z.number().int().min(0).max(150),
  role: z.enum(["admin", "user", "guest"]),
  createdAt: z.coerce.date(),
});

export type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>;

// usage
const raw: unknown = await fetchUser();
const user = UserSchema.parse(raw); // throws ZodError if invalid
//    ^? User
```

### Pattern 2: safeParse for non-throw
```typescript
const result = UserSchema.safeParse(raw);
if (!result.success) {
  console.error(result.error.flatten());
  return;
}
const user = result.data; // typed
```

### Pattern 3: env validation (fail fast at boot)
```typescript
const EnvSchema = z.object({
  DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
  PORT: z.coerce.number().int().positive().default(3000),
  NODE_ENV: z.enum(["development", "production", "test"]),
  ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: z.string().startsWith("sk-ant-"),
});

export const env = EnvSchema.parse(process.env);
// process exits at startup if invalid — better than runtime surprise
```

### Pattern 4: discriminated union
```typescript
const ResultSchema = z.discriminatedUnion("status", [
  z.object({ status: z.literal("ok"), data: z.string() }),
  z.object({ status: z.literal("error"), code: z.number() }),
]);

type Result = z.infer<typeof ResultSchema>;
// narrowing on .status works correctly
```

### Pattern 5: transform for parse-not-validate
```typescript
const DateSchema = z.string().transform((s, ctx) => {
  const d = new Date(s);
  if (isNaN(d.getTime())) {
    ctx.addIssue({ code: "custom", message: "Invalid date" });
    return z.NEVER;
  }
  return d;
});

const out = DateSchema.parse("2026-05-10"); // Date instance
```

### Pattern 6: API client with Zod
```typescript
async function fetchUser(id: string): Promise<User> {
  const res = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`);
  const json = await res.json();
  return UserSchema.parse(json); // unknown → User
}
```

### Pattern 7: tRPC integration
```typescript
import { router, procedure } from "./trpc";

export const userRouter = router({
  create: procedure
    .input(UserSchema.omit({ id: true, createdAt: true }))
    .mutation(async ({ input }) => {
      // input is fully typed + validated
      return db.user.create({ data: input });
    }),
});
```

### Pattern 8: React Hook Form + Zod
```typescript
import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
import { zodResolver } from "@hookform/resolvers/zod";

const FormSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
  password: z.string().min(8),
});

const { register, handleSubmit, formState } = useForm({
  resolver: zodResolver(FormSchema),
});
```

### Pattern 9: schema composition
```typescript
const Base = z.object({ id: z.string(), createdAt: z.date() });
const Post = Base.extend({ title: z.string(), body: z.string() });
const PostUpdate = Post.partial().required({ id: true });
```

### Pattern 10: refinement (custom rules)
```typescript
const PasswordSchema = z
  .object({ password: z.string(), confirm: z.string() })
  .refine((d) => d.password === d.confirm, {
    message: "Passwords do not match",
    path: ["confirm"],
  });
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| API boundary, untrusted input | Zod parse |
| Internal pure-TS code | Type only, no Zod |
| Bundle size critical (mobile, edge) | Valibot |
| Functional ergonomics | io-ts |
| LLM structured output (Claude/GPT) | Zod + tool schema |
| Performance hot path (>10k parses/sec) | Compile to TypeBox/AJV |

**기본값**: Zod 3.x — 매 modern TS app 의 default validation layer.

## 🔗 Graph
- 부모: [[TypeScript]] · [[Runtime Type Validation]]
- 변형: [[Valibot]] · [[Yup]] · [[ArkType]] · [[io-ts]]
- 응용: [[tRPC]] · [[React Hook Form]] · [[env validation]]
- Adjacent: [[JSON Schema]] · [[Type Inference]] · [[과잉 속성 체크 (Excess Property Checking)]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: untrusted boundary (API, form, env, LLM output) 매 parse. tool/function calling 의 매 input schema.
**언제 X**: internal pure-TS code 매 over-validation 불필요. hot loop 의 매 매 parse 호출.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Anti1: parse everywhere**: 매 internal function 매 Zod parse — 매 overhead 누적, 매 type only 충분.
- **Anti2: as cast after parse**: `Schema.parse(x) as MyType` — 매 redundant, parse 가 이미 typed return.
- **Anti3: schema duplication**: type + schema 따로 정의 — 매 z.infer 사용.
- **Anti4: nested transforms with side effects**: transform 안에서 fetch/IO — 매 pure 하게 유지.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Zod docs colinhacks.com/zod, 2026 ecosystem).
- 신뢰도 A.
