Fixes #2760
Alternative implementation to #2761

I like this one more for being more explicit.

Walkthrough

The changes update core type definitions to allow input schemas to be undefined in the EndpointsFactory and related utilities. A new ConditionalIntersection type replaces direct intersection types to handle optional schemas. Type constraints, return types, and method signatures are adjusted accordingly. Tests are enhanced to verify stricter type equality and input property handling.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
express-zod-api/src/endpoints-factory.ts Allowed undefined for generic input schema parameters; replaced z.ZodIntersection with ConditionalIntersection in types and methods.
express-zod-api/src/io-schema.ts Added ConditionalIntersection type alias; updated getFinalEndpointInputSchema to use it and accept undefined generics.
express-zod-api/tests/endpoints-factory.spec.ts Added tests for excessive property handling; changed type assertions from toExtend to toEqualTypeOf; updated generic parameter assertions.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Ensure accessing undefined input properties results in a TypeScript error, not never type (#2760)

Poem

In the warren of types, a fix hops in—
Undefined inputs now handled with a grin!
No more “never” when you typo a key,
TypeScript will bark, as clear as can be.
With intersections smart and schemas anew,
Bugs in the garden are fewer—woohoo!

10-14: LGTM: Well-designed conditional intersection type

The AltIntersection type elegantly handles the case where middleware input schemas might be undefined. The conditional logic correctly:

  • Uses Current when it's a valid IOSchema
  • Falls back to Inc when Current is undefined

This enables flexible schema composition while maintaining type safety.

Note: The TODO comment suggests naming uncertainty - consider more descriptive names like ConditionalIntersection or OptionalIntersection if this becomes a public API.

3-3: LGTM: Import addition for stricter type testing

The addition of expectTypeOf import supports the enhanced type testing approach used in the updated test cases.


86-106: LGTM: Comprehensive test coverage for Issue #2760

These new tests properly validate the input property handling behavior:

  • First test ensures excessive properties are stripped by default (line 91 confirms input doesn't have bar property)
  • Second test verifies loose object schemas allow excessive properties as unknown type (line 102 confirms bar property exists with correct type)

The tests directly address the stated Issue #2760 and provide good coverage for the new intersection type handling.


118-118: LGTM: Consistent with new undefined input schema support

The change from EmptySchema to undefined aligns with the updated generic parameter defaults in EndpointsFactory where IN now defaults to undefined instead of EmptySchema.


275-277: LGTM: Enhanced type safety with stricter equality checks

The change from toExtend to toEqualTypeOf provides stricter type checking, ensuring the inferred types exactly match the expected intersection types rather than just extending them. This improvement aligns with the enhanced type handling introduced in the AltIntersection implementation.

Also applies to: 302-304, 325-327, 351-352

express-zod-api/src/io-schema.ts (2)

24-24: LGTM: Consistent generic parameter update

The change from IOSchema to IOSchema | undefined for the MIN parameter aligns with the new AltIntersection type requirements and supports cases where no middleware input schema is defined.


32-32: LGTM: Proper usage of new intersection type

The return type correctly uses AltIntersection<MIN, IN> instead of the direct z.ZodIntersection<MIN, IN>, which enables proper type handling when MIN might be undefined. The runtime behavior remains unchanged, maintaining backward compatibility.

express-zod-api/src/endpoints-factory.ts (6)

5-9: LGTM: Consistent import update

The addition of AltIntersection to the imports properly supports the updated type usage throughout the file.


25-25: LGTM: Interface parameter update aligns with new type system

The change from IOSchema to IOSchema | undefined for the MIN parameter in BuildProps is consistent with the overall support for optional middleware input schemas.


38-38: LGTM: Handler type properly uses new intersection type

The handler type correctly uses AltIntersection<MIN, IN> instead of the direct z.ZodIntersection<MIN, IN>, ensuring proper type inference when middleware input schemas might be undefined.


66-66: LGTM: Consistent generic parameter default

Changing the IN generic default from EmptySchema to undefined aligns with the new type system and is consistent with the test changes that expect undefined instead of EmptySchema.


74-74: LGTM: Private method parameter update is consistent

The change to allow undefined for the CIN generic parameter in the #create method maintains consistency with the overall type system updates.


93-93: LGTM: Method return type properly uses new intersection type

The addMiddleware method correctly uses AltIntersection<IN, AIN> in the returned factory's generic parameters, ensuring proper type composition when combining input schemas.

CHANGELOG.md (2)

7-11: Wording can be tightened for clarity

The second and third bullet points read a bit awkwardly (“This also fixes the issue for excessive properties…”).
Consider re-phrasing to make the subject clearer and keep the tense consistent with the first bullet:

-  - This also fixes the issue for excessive properties of the `z.looseObject()` based schema;
+  - Fixed incorrect typing of excessive properties when using a `z.looseObject()`-based schema;

Likewise, “The issue reported by” → “Issue reported by” removes an extraneous article.


12-33: Fence indentation breaks Markdown highlighting

Because the outer block is already inside a fenced code block (started with ````), the inner TypeScript fence is indented by two spaces.
GitHub’s markdown renderer treats that as part of the code block rather than a nested fence, so the syntax highlighting is lost.

Unindent the inner triple back-ticks by two spaces:

-```ts
+```ts
 import { defaultEndpointsFactory } from "express-zod-api";
 import { z } from "zod/v4";
@@
 });

(Only the back-ticks need to be moved flush-left; the code sample can stay indented.)

…default (#2777)

Related to #2762 

This should simplify intersections, remove redundant EmptySchema when
it's not really needed, keeping it only for the final one.

I also realized that doing final intersection within `::build()` makes
it intersect middleware schemas for every endpoint built on the factory.
It can be simpler now.
