zod to check if string is only whitespaces
how do i use zod to check if a string is only whitespaces?
NNthis is what i have so far
Nbut i also want to throw an error if its only spaces
JI’m not sure what RegEx you need but Zod supports RegEx
PYeah, I would use some kind of regex for that
PFound something like that on stack
PIt's only for whitespaces
DIt think it's .refine that allows you to check regex iirc
D= /^\s+$/ you probably want to trim strings though
Nthere's a .regex too
Nso trim the string and then check if its empty?
Nthanks i;ll try this
CYou could also .preprocess strings and trim them and that would trigger min(1) rule if specific error message doesn’t matter
Nthanks
Nworks
DEssentially remove all spaces at the beginning and end of the string to mitigate user error instead of validating against it. Usually its bad a11y to do magic like this when people are typing especially in the front end I feel this is OK to do and a bit more of a pleasant UX
Nnoted thanks
