Zod 4: z.string().email()/.uuid()/.url() deprecated → z.email()/z.uuid()/z.url(); .ip()/.cidr() removed
// before (Zod 3)
const User = z.object({
email: z.string().email(),
id: z.string().uuid(),
site: z.string().url(),
ip: z.string().ip(),
})
// after (Zod 4)
const User = z.object({
email: z.email(),
id: z.uuid(),
site: z.url(),
ip: z.union([z.ipv4(), z.ipv6()]),
})
Top-level formats still accept chained string checks, e.g. z.email().max(254).
Symptom
On zod@4, z.string().email() shows as deprecated in the editor, and z.string().ip() / z.string().cidr() no longer exist (type error / not a function). Wrong assumption: string formats are methods on z.string() (Zod 3 API, which most training data uses).
Cause
Zod 4 (zod@4.0.0 at the package root, 2025-07-08) moved string formats to top-level functions. Per the migration guide, the method forms "still exist and work as before, but are now deprecated." .ip() was dropped in favor of z.ipv4()/z.ipv6(), and .cidr() in favor of z.cidrv4()/z.cidrv6().
Verify
No deprecation strikethrough in the editor; User.parse(...) accepts valid input and rejects bad emails/IPs.
