Struggling with unknown data in TypeScript? @valibot.dev parses it effortlessly: validate & transform via pipes, grab detailed issues with safeParse (no throws!), and optimize perf with the abortEarly config.

What are "pipelines" in @valibot.dev?

ℹ️ A pipeline is a left-to-right chain of schemas and actions
ℹ️ Each step gets the previous step’s output and can validate and transform
ℹ️ The final schema’s output type is the last step’s output type

I am excited to announce Formisch for @svelte.dev! @sveltesociety.dev, you have a new form library! ⚡️

Formisch is a schema-based, headless form library. It manages form state and validation. It is type-safe, fast by default and its bundle size is small due to its modular design. 🪄

@valibot.dev's mental modal is great because it consists of only 3 major building blocks…

✅ Methods help you modify or use a schema
✅ Schemas validate a specific data type
✅ Actions validate or transform a known data type

I am excited to share that Motion has raised $60M at a valuation of $550M to build an agentic work suite for businesses. Currently, I am responsible for developing AI Sheets, which enable you to run AI agents in bulk to automatically enrich and process data at scale. ⚡️

Many thanks to @paolo.ricciuti.me for improving the official Zod-to-Valibot codemod. The codemod can now convert transformations and refinements. Check it out on our website: valibot.dev/guides/migra...

For comparison: I think this is what a similar schema would look like in Zod Mini. It doesn't seem to support adding metadata, so I couldn't add the description.

@valibot.dev's pipelines are powerful because…

✅ they offer a clean API with a simple mental-model
✅ they support validation, transformation and adding metadata
✅ they are lightweight and fully typesafe
September 5, 2025 at 2:51 AM
Switching from @valibot.dev to @zod.dev increases the bundle size by 18x, or by 4x if you choose Zod Mini.

@valibot.dev source code and API is...

✅optimized for bundle size and compression
✅every additional schema only adds a few extra bytes
✅designed for tree-shaking to eliminate unused code
September 4, 2025 at 1:30 PM
@valibot.dev `toJsonSchema()`...

✅ is modular (no upfront bundle size cost)
✅ is tiny (adds only ~2 kB to your bundle if used)
✅ granularly configurable to your needs

I've taken some time off from open source, but I'll be back soon with some cool new features for Formisch, Valibot, and Standard Schema. Stay tuned! 🧩
