Special Type Mapping
| Prisma | Zod (I/O) | Pure Models Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| String | z.string() | same | optional + .nullable() when optional string input variant |
| Int | z.number().int() | same | |
| Float | z.number() | same | |
| Boolean | z.boolean() | same | |
| DateTime | z.date() | same | (strategy: date) |
| Json | z.unknown() + optional refinements | same | Optional depth/length validations |
| Bytes | z.instanceof(Uint8Array) | z.string() (base64) | Override to Uint8Array by useBase64:false |
| BigInt | z.bigint() | same | |
| Decimal | z.number() | same | Simplified mapping |
| Enums | <Enum>Schema | <Enum>Schema | Generated enum schemas |
Bytes: adds size constraints & base64 regex or length refinements depending on representation.
JSON: Can enforce serializability, depth, and length; adds descriptive comments in generated file.
