Invalid object syntax inside array

Error message

Invalid object syntax inside array

What it means

Inside parseArray, when the array content starts with 'z.object(' but its body does not match /z\.object\(\s*\{([\s\S]*)\}\s*\)/ (missing or malformed '{}'), this throws. It is the array counterpart of error 611: an array whose element type is an object literal without a valid brace body.

Solutions

1. Give the array's element object a brace-wrapped body, e.g. 'z.array(z.object({ id: z.string() }))'.

Example fix

// before
'z.object({ items: z.array(z.object()) })'

// after
'z.object({ items: z.array(z.object({ id: z.string() })) })'

const validObjectInArray = (v: string): boolean =>
  /z\.array\(\s*z\.object\(\s*\{[\s\S]*\}\s*\)\s*\)$/.test(v)

When it happens

Trigger: 'z.array(z.object())' or 'z.array(z.object(null))'.

Common situations: Defining an array of empty objects without braces; referencing a variable as the element object.
