trying to use zod in js with jsdoc type comments for vs code - almost works!

zod+js+jsdoc.js

'use strict'

// trying to use zod in JS w/ jsdoc type comments in vsCode

const z = require('zod')

const dogSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string(),
  neutered: z.boolean(),
})

/** @typedef { z.infer<typeof dogSchema> } Dog */

/** @type { Dog } */
const cujo = dogSchema.parse({
  name: 'Cujo',
  neutered: true,
})
console.log(cujo)

/** @type { Dog } */
const cujo2 = {
  name: 'Cujo2',
  neutered: false
}
console.log(cujo2)

try {
  /** @type { Dog } */
  dogSchema.parse({
    name: 'Fido',
  })
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.message)
}

// the following should be an type error, but Dog is defined in vsCode
// as a "partial", but shouldn't be

/** @type { Dog } */
const fido2 = {
  name: 'Fido2'
}
console.log(fido2)

First downside is that I have to add extra stuff to deal with try/catch errors; the error from catch() is now unknown, previously any. But it caught more valid issues, so ... seems like a weiner!

Thanks a bunch!
