Can I zod this gamestate?

export interface GameState {
  id: string;
  status: "initializing" | "waitingOpponent" | "started" | "finished";
  field: Field;
  entities: Entity[];
  initiative: number[];
  round: number;
  turn: number;
  hands: Card[][];
  decks: Deck[];
}

export interface GameState {
  id: string;
  status: "initializing" | "waitingOpponent" | "started" | "finished";
  field: Field;
  entities: Entity[];
  initiative: number[];
  round: number;
  turn: number;
  hands: Card[][];
  decks: Deck[];
}

It's a game. There is more nested interfaces (Field, Entity, Card, Deck). Should I just give up and use z.any() or is this still reasonable with zod? 😄

If you can write interfaces, you surely can write as many zod schemas poohheh

fine. meme question, I'll get around to it eventually was just hoping some zod wizards would show me the way to do this easier

You can write schemas and infer types from them

const GameSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string(),
  status: z.enum("initializing","waitingOpponent","started","finished"),
  field: // your zod schema for this,
  entities: z.array(/** you zod schema for this */),
  initiative: z.array(z.number()),
  round: z.number(),
  turn: z.number(),
  hands: z.array(z.array(/** you zod schema for this */)),
  decks: z.array(/** you zod schema for this */)
});

export type TGameSchema = z.infer<typeof GameSchema>

const GameSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string(),
  status: z.enum("initializing","waitingOpponent","started","finished"),
  field: // your zod schema for this,
  entities: z.array(/** you zod schema for this */),
  initiative: z.array(z.number()),
  round: z.number(),
  turn: z.number(),
  hands: z.array(z.array(/** you zod schema for this */)),
  decks: z.array(/** you zod schema for this */)
});

export type TGameSchema = z.infer<typeof GameSchema>
