Installation ​

Requirements ​

• TypeScript 4.5+!
• You must enable strict mode in your tsconfig.json. This is a best practice for all TypeScript projects.

{
  // ...
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "strict": true
  }
}

{
  // ...
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "strict": true
  }
}

From npm (Node/Bun) ​

npm install zod

npm install zod

yarn add zod

yarn add zod

bun add zod

bun add zod

pnpm add zod

pnpm add zod

Zod also publishes a canary version on every commit. To install the canary:

npm install zod@canary

npm install zod@canary

yarn add zod@canary

yarn add zod@canary

bun add zod@canary

bun add zod@canary

pnpm add zod@canary

pnpm add zod@canary

From deno.land/x (Deno) ​

Unlike Node, Deno relies on direct URL imports instead of a package manager like NPM. Zod is available on deno.land/x. The latest version can be imported like so:

import { z } from "https://deno.land/x/zod/mod.ts";

import { z } from "https://deno.land/x/zod/mod.ts";

You can also specify a particular version:

import { z } from "https://deno.land/x/zod@v3.16.1/mod.ts";

import { z } from "https://deno.land/x/zod@v3.16.1/mod.ts";

The rest of this README assumes you are using npm and importing directly from the "zod" package.
