Anyway to test a string as a number without transforming the output

[marcebdev]

So I have a value that's expected to be a string format in the data (this is because the input/output are both expected to be strings) but it represents a number in most cases.

Rather than doing z.string().pipe(z.coerce.number).int().positive().min(1).pipe(z.coerce.string()) is there some way of being able to test a field as a different value without actually converting it?

i.e. z.string().testWithoutTransforming(z.pipe(z.coerce.number()).int().positive().min(1))?

You can try this: z.string().refine(val => Number(val) >= 1)

Got it, yeah was hoping there was a way to continue the validation using the Zod schema, but I guess not unfortunately
