Nullables

Similarly, you can create nullable types with z.nullable().

const nullableString = z.nullable(z.string());
nullableString.parse("asdf"); // => "asdf"
nullableString.parse(null); // => null

const nullableString = z.nullable(z.string());
nullableString.parse("asdf"); // => "asdf"
nullableString.parse(null); // => null

Or use the .nullable() method.

const E = z.string().nullable(); // equivalent to nullableString
type E = z.infer<typeof E>; // string | null

const E = z.string().nullable(); // equivalent to nullableString
type E = z.infer<typeof E>; // string | null

Extract the inner schema with .unwrap().

const stringSchema = z.string();
const nullableString = stringSchema.nullable();
nullableString.unwrap() === stringSchema; // true

const stringSchema = z.string();
const nullableString = stringSchema.nullable();
nullableString.unwrap() === stringSchema; // true
