zod-import-source - ESLint plugin rules

This rule requires importing Zod from @medusajs/framework/zod (Medusa v2.13+), not the bare zod package.

Severity#

warn. This rule is enabled in the recommended preset.

What it Targets#

This rule targets all files in your backend customizations. It reports imports and re-exports whose source is the bare zod package.

The following code is reported by the rule:

src/api/example.ts
1// non-compliant2import { z } from "zod"

Instead, import from the Medusa Framework entry point:

src/api/example.ts
1// compliant2import { z } from "@medusajs/framework/zod"

Why it's Important#

Importing Zod from @medusajs/framework/zod ensures you use the same Zod version Medusa relies on, avoiding version mismatches and duplicate copies in your project.

Learn more in the API route validation documentation.

Fixable#

This rule is auto-fixable. Run the linter with the --fix option to apply the fix automatically.

Turn it Off#

To turn off this rule, set it to off in your ESLint configuration:

eslint.config.ts
1import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config"2import medusa from "@medusajs/eslint-plugin"3
4export default defineConfig([5  ...medusa.configs.recommended,6  {7    rules: {8      "@medusajs/zod-import-source": "off",9    },10  },11])

Or disable it for a single line using an inline comment:

Code
1// eslint-disable-next-line @medusajs/zod-import-source2import { z } from "zod"
