Section 1
The big idea
Form validation is the rules that say what valid input looks like. AI can write a schema once and use it both in the browser (instant feedback) and on the server (so attackers can't bypass it).
Some examples
- Ask AI: 'Write a Zod schema for a signup form with email, password 8+ chars, and birthdate 13+.'
- AI shows the error messages that appear next to each field.
- AI reminds you to validate on the server even if you validated in the browser.
- AI adds a check that the username doesn't already exist in the database.
Try it!
Take a form in your project and ask AI to add Zod validation. Try submitting bad data to make sure it gets blocked.
