Supported TypeScript patterns
The converter handles the common shapes developers need first: primitives, optional properties, arrays, nested objects, literal unions, nullable unions, Record<string, T>, and local references.
- Interfaces and object type aliases.
- String, number, boolean, bigint, null, undefined, unknown, and any primitives.
- Multiple declarations generated in dependency order.
Safe browser-only parsing
FrameworkKit does not execute pasted TypeScript. Unsupported language features are surfaced as diagnostics and converted to z.unknown() by default so you can review the boundary explicitly.
When to use ts-to-zod
Use TypeScript to Zod when your source of truth is an interface or type alias. Use JSON to Zod when your source is a sample API response or fixture.
Review before production
Generated schemas are starter code. Add business constraints such as email, URL, UUID, min/max, custom refinements, discriminators, and transforms where your actual contract requires them.
What this tool does
Convert TypeScript interface or type alias snippets into copy-ready Zod schemas without uploading code.
Convert interfaces to Zod
Paste a TypeScript interface and generate a reviewable runtime validator starter.
Migrate DTOs to runtime validation
Turn request, response, and domain DTO type aliases into Zod schemas at API boundaries.
Compare TypeScript and runtime contracts
Use diagnostics to see where static-only TypeScript features need manual validation decisions.
Does the TypeScript to Zod converter execute my code?
No. FrameworkKit parses a deterministic subset of interface and type alias syntax in the browser. It does not eval, transpile, import, or run pasted TypeScript.
Which TypeScript shapes are supported?
The v1 converter supports interfaces, object type aliases, primitives, optional properties, arrays, nested object literals, literal unions, nullable unions, Record<string, T>, and references between local declarations.
What happens to generics and advanced types?
Generics, mapped types, conditional types, indexed access, imported references, functions, classes, and namespaces are reported with diagnostics and converted to the configured fallback schema.
How is this different from JSON to Zod?
JSON to Zod infers a schema from sample runtime data. TypeScript to Zod starts from static interfaces or type aliases that already describe the shape you want to validate.
Can I paste the output directly into production?
Use it as a starter. Review formats, min/max constraints, discriminators, refinements, and unsupported TypeScript constructs before shipping validation code.
