What's the difference to `z.infer<typeof someSchema>`? about zod-to-ts HOT 3 CLOSED

This package is great for build tools that accept Zod schemas. z.infer is on the type level, while this package builds a TS type definition just from the schema that a user might pass into a function.

If you're doing type inference, use z.infer. If you're trying to emit the types from a Zod schema, then use this package.

from zod-to-ts.

Here's an example of a project that uses this package to generate client-side types: https://github.com/sachinraja/trpc-playground. It creates a playground for tRPC users to query their API in the browser. There's no way to do type inference in the browser from local TS files. So it uses zod-to-ts to generate the types from Zod schemas and send them to tsserver running in the browser.

Might be a slightly confusing explanation but generally:
zod-to-ts for TS build tools based on Zod schemas
z.infer for type inference

Just skimmed your readme again. don't they do exactly the same? Would you mind to elaborate with an example? Highly appreciated and might be also good to have this clarification on you readme.
