NZOTH: Nest + Zod + OpenAPI + Typed + Helpers

A collection of NestJS utilities for building RESTful APIs with support for filtering, pagination, sorting, type-safe request/response validation, and OpenAPI schema registration using Zod. Allows registering Zod schemas with OpenAPI metadata for automatic documentation generation.

Why NZOTH?

NZOTH combines the best of all worlds:

• NestJS: The progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications
• Zod: TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
• OpenAPI: Automated API documentation that stays in sync with your code
• Typed: End-to-end type safety from your routes to your controllers to your clients
• Helpers: A comprehensive collection of utilities for filtering, pagination, sorting, and more

Our goal is to provide a type-safe API solution that's easy to use while still being compatible with various languages and tools. NZOTH offers a simple yet powerful alternative to solutions like tRPC and GraphQL for projects that need REST APIs with strong typing.

Features

• ✅ Validation: Comprehensive Zod-based validation for requests and responses
• 🎯 Decorators: Decorators to validate route response, parameters, query params, and body
• 🔍 Filtering: Flexible query parameter-based filtering with multiple operators
• 📄 Pagination: Easy-to-use pagination with offset and page size
• 🔃 Sorting: Multi-field sorting with ascending/descending support
• 📄 OpenAPI: Automatically generate OpenAPI documentation from your Zod schemas

Basic Usage

import { TypedRoute, TypedBody } from '@lonestone/nzoth/server';
import { z } from 'zod';

const UserSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string().uuid(),
  name: z.string().min(3),
  email: z.string().email(),
});

@Controller('users')
class UserController {
  @TypedRoute.Get(undefined, UserSchema.array())
  findAll(): User[] {
    return this.userService.findAll();
  }

  @TypedRoute.Post('/', UserSchema)
  create(@TypedBody(UserSchema.omit({ id: true })) dto: CreateUserDto): User {
    return this.userService.create(dto);
  }
}
