The required error message is not functioning properly about zod HOT 9 OPEN

your problem seems to be that you think an empty string should be caught by required_error, however, it only catches undefined values.

When using react-hook-form without zod, I noticed that errors can be caught by using { required: "lastName is required" }. Therefore, I think it would be logical to catch errors when the string is empty. The required_error should catch errors for any field whether it contains a string or a number, and the same for optional().

This might be helpful here: #2847 (reply in thread)

const schema: ZodType<FormData> = z.object({
  firstName: z.string().min(1, { message: "First Name is required" })
});

If Zod and React Hook Form were made with each other in mind, then yes you are correct. But Zod isn't beholden to how React Hook Form does things, so if you are going to use Zod as your Resolver, then you need to do things the Zod way.

I'm using Formik and it's the same thing.🤷🏽‍♀️ I totally agree with @issam-seghir .
It's so unintuitive.🤦🏽‍♀️

It should catch both undefined and empty strings.

For instance, here is the scenario where catching only undefined alone isn't sufficient...

• Focus on the input
• Type in something
• Delete the something (and make the input empty again)
  • Now, the required_error is no longer triggered, instead, for instance, a "Too short" error (when using .min()) is thrown which doesn't make sense (for something empty).

So, this is how Zod works, Can you please add a note in the document? I take to match time to know how to make a string required or optional.
