Primitives

Primitives form the foundation of Typyn schemas. They handle basic types like strings, numbers, and booleans with chainable constraints for validation, transformation, and defaults.

Each primitive schema supports:

• Core Methods: .parse(value) (throws on error) and .safe(value) (returns { success, data } | { success: false, error }).
• Common Chains: .default(val), .refine(fn, msg), .transform(fn).
• Type Inference: Full TS support—Infer<typeof schema> extracts the validated type.

Quick Links

• String – Length, patterns, email/URL.
• Number – Ranges, integers, signs.
• Boolean – Simple flags with defaults.
• Literal – Exact value matching.
• Enum – Union from array of values.

Pro Tip: Start with primitives, then compose into Objects or Arrays.
