Stop Using Repetitive Validation Logic – Embrace Zod
If you're a backend or fullstack developer, you've probably written this kind of code more times than you'd like to admit: if (!req.body.email || !req.body.password) { return res.status(400).json({ message: 'Missing fields' }); } It works... but it gets messy really fast. As your project grows, repeating this kind of manual validation on every route becomes painful and error-prone. Let me introduce you to something better. ✅ Meet Zod – The Cleaner Way to Validate Zod is a TypeScript-first schema validation library. It helps you define what your data should look like and automatically validates it. No more writing if (!email) and if (typeof password !== 'string') every time.
