Hey @lunacrafts
It's great that you managed to fix this issue, happy that it worked for you.
How do you feel about submitting a PR for this?

Also, do you think there are any side effects to exporting the schema and the type like that?

Hello @omar-dulaimi

First of all, my changes broke other part of your package, so at some point I had to resign from it (and from prisma as well), so unfortunately I'm not able to make and test PR.

Second of all, in the meantime I figured out my approach with type infering from zod would use a lot of memory during development so It's no-go solution. I don't know in-depth zod API so I'm not going to be helpful in any matter.

Sad to hear that @lunacrafts
I'm sure there are other ways to fix this, especially if we ask the author of zod himself. I appreciate you taking the time to use this project, and hopefully this issue would be resolved soon.

There are alternatives to zod, like joi, yup and class validator. Maybe they could be useful to your case.

The real issue for me was prisma. Im in the phase of prototyping application (with mongodb) and Prisma hold me back in this case. It's great for CRUD and basic database operations, but I couldn't really use core features of mongo.

I really appreciated using prisma + prisma-zod-generator + trpc + next but I run into some limitations what made this setup of tools kinda useless. One of those is that I was able to generate awesome end-to-end typesafe queries, but I wasn't able to intercept anywhere on the backend side, so for example I couldn't apply access-control rules to resources.

It is awesome, but just not in my use case! Really appreciate your work on this package and I'm sure I'll use it in another part of project but just not yet.
