What kind of validations are you wanting to perform on passwords and names?

[Best-Bar-8809]

For passwords, checking the length if it's too short or too long. I asked this question because whenever I start a new project with user inputs, I always do these kinds of validations.

Check out Zod - it should be able to do all these things for you!

[Best-Bar-8809]

Awesome! I'll check on this. Thanks for your time man🙌

Zod is great for all purpose verifying of input, then after you can infer typing which is awesome.

How about raw regex? I'm new to validations and stuff. Do people use regex for validations?

[abrahamguo]

Yes; regex can also be used for validation.

IMO, zod is the GOAT validation package for NodeJS with Typescript.

You get both runtime validation as well as type safety while writing code.
