feat: Are you interested in adding Valibot?

[fabian-hiller]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Valibot is a new schema library, similar to Zod, but with a much smaller bundle size and probably better performance in real world scenarios. Are you interested in adding Valibot to create-t3-app?

Describe the solution you'd like to see

Add Valibot as an alternatvie to Zod.

Describe alternate solutions

Add Valibot once v1 is reached.

I saw Valibot on twitter a few days ago, looks exciting! Definitely interested, especially if/once there is a significant TS server performance benefit over Zod despite (near-)feature parity - the bundle size difference is not nearly as big a deal. But IMO the right order of events here is that a few key libraries like tRPC, react-hook-form, etc. get first class support for Valibot, and then we consider whether the switch is worth it for CT3A.

Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you. For tRPC I have already submitted the corresponding PR and for React Hook Form a community member will do it. I'll probably report back here in September after Valibot is integrated into more projects and I've done some more performance research.

trpc(https://trpc.io/docs/server/validators#with-valibot) and react-hook-form (react-hook-form/resolvers#602) already support Valibot

Definitely want it here as on t3-oss/t3-env#6 😃
Valibot documentation is super neat!

A few schema library authors are currently working on a common interface. This may allow CT3A to support any schema library that supports this interface in the future. This will simplify the integration of schema libraries and prevent vendor lock-in, which could lead to more innovation in the long run.
