Kysely to Zod Conversion example

Demonstrates converting a Kysely UserTable interface into select and insert Zod validation schemas with type inference.

Kysely TypeScript Interface Source
export interface UserTable {
  id: Generated<number>;
  email: string;
  name: string | null;
  createdAt: ColumnType<Date, string | undefined, never>;
}
Zod Validation Schemas Processed
export const selectUserSchema = z.object({
  id: z.number().int(),
  email: z.string().email(),
  name: z.string().nullable(),
  createdAt: z.date(),
});

export const insertUserSchema = z.object({
  id: z.number().int().optional(),
  email: z.string().email(),
  name: z.string().nullable(),
  createdAt: z.string().optional(),
});

export type User = z.infer<typeof selectUserSchema>;
export type NewUser = z.infer<typeof insertUserSchema>;

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kysely to Zod Schema Generator safe to use with proprietary database code?
Yes. All parsing and code generation executes 100% locally in your browser memory. No code is transmitted to any server or external service.
How does the generator handle Generated<T> and ColumnType in insert schemas?
In select schemas, Generated<T> is required because the database returns populated values. In insert schemas, Generated<T> is marked as optional because database defaults or auto-increments populate it if omitted.
Does this generator require Node.js or any external npm package at runtime?
No. The generator runs completely client-side in vanilla JavaScript with zero external runtime dependencies.
