feat(zod): add `@length` validation for `Bytes` by sanny-io · Pull Request #2893 · zenstackhq/zenstack

sanny-io · 2026-10-24T15:04:06Z

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Byte fields now support @length constraints, allowing minimum and maximum byte counts to be specified.
Bug Fixes
- Zod schemas now enforce @length constraints on byte fields in both standard and lite schemas. ORM validation also rejects byte values outside the configured range while accepting values that meet it.

Walkthrough

The @length attribute now applies to byte fields. Zod schema factories add minimum and maximum byte-length validation when field attributes define those limits. Tests cover byte values and arrays with configured length constraints.

Changes: Byte field length validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Enable and apply byte length constraints `packages/language/res/stdlib.zmodel`, `packages/zod/src/utils.ts`, `packages/zod/src/factory.ts`, `packages/orm/src/client/zod/factory.ts`	The `@length` declaration now targets byte fields. Zod and ORM schema factories apply byte-length validation from field attributes.
Validate byte field and array lengths `packages/zod/test/schema/schema.zmodel`, `packages/zod/test/schema/schema.ts`, `packages/zod/test/schema/schema-lite.ts`, `packages/zod/test/factory.test.ts`, `tests/e2e/orm/validation/toplevel.test.ts`	Fixtures add byte fields and arrays with length constraints. Unit and end-to-end tests check byte values, array lengths, and individual array elements against those constraints.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e5569

Valid byte-array create or update requests can be rejected, and failed byte-length checks can show the wrong message. Fix the ORM validation before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(zod): add @length validation for Bytes" matches the main change in the changeset. The PR extends the @length attribute to BytesField in stdlib.zmodel, adds addBytesValidation in packages/zod/src/utils.ts, wires it into the Zod factories, and adds tests for byte-length validation. The title is specific, concise, and follows the conventional-commit style. It does not cover every detail, such as the new test schema models, which is acceptable.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 3 functions across 7 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Keep list @length off individual Bytes values.

For a Bytes[] field with @length(3, 5), getItemAttributes passes that attribute to each item. This new call then requires every byte value to contain 3–5 bytes, even though the constraint applies to the number of list items. The create and update builders already apply addListValidation to the list. Exclude the list-level @length attribute from the item schema so a valid list can contain byte values of other lengths.

Pass the configured @length message to byte refinements.

If a Bytes field declares @length(3, 5, "Invalid avatar size"), a failed check returns Zod’s default refinement message instead of the configured message. Read the attribute’s message argument and pass it to both .refine() calls as the error option. Zod 4 supports that option. (zod.dev)
