Zod import targets

Control how generated schemas import Zod via the zodImportTarget config option.

Install Zod in your app (peer dependency), then pick one of:

• auto (default) or v3: import { z } from 'zod'
• v4: import * as z from 'zod/v4'

Notes

• In single‑file bundles, a single Zod import is hoisted at the top.
• This setting affects all generated files and variants.

Quick recipes

• Copy one of these into your config JSON:

zod-generator.config.json

{ "zodImportTarget": "auto" }

zod-generator.config.json

{ "zodImportTarget": "v4" }
