Zodios Context

Zodios context allows you to declare a context object that will be available in all your zodios handlers. Usually in express apps, you would use req to store some data, like req.user, that you want to access in all your handlers. Zodios context allows you to do the same it by declaring a context schema , and this way have your req.user properly typed.

Creating a context​

To create a context, you need to use the zodiosContext function.

import { zodiosContext } from "@zodios/express";
import z from "zod";

const ctx = zodiosContext(z.object({
  user: z.object({
    id: z.number(),
    name: z.string(),
  }),
}));

Creating a context-aware app​

To create a context-aware app, you need to use the app() method of the context.

const app = ctx.app();

Creating a context-aware router​

To create a context-aware router, you need to use the router() method of the context.

const router = ctx.router();
