feature request: zod as schema validation

[naranyala]

is it possible in the future that Orama Search supports zod as schema validation when initializing persistent data?

I hope we can explore more types of searchable data, which zod is one of the feature-rich libraries for validation

I think we could use a plugin to do that. Right now, we want Orama to stay dependency-free as much as possible. Do you have any particular API in mind? Can you share some pseudocode on how you'd like it to work?

Happy to help and get this done. @naranyala can you help me with the expectations of what it shall help with vs what's currently missing?

Implementing the standard-schema would be a great addition.

This way, zod, valibot, arctype and anything that supports this schema will work.

@micheleriva the best part is that orama can still stay dependency-free (as per the README):

This interface can be found below in its entirety. Libraries wishing to implement the spec can copy/paste the code block below into their codebase. It's also available at @standard-schema/spec on npm and JSR. There will be zero changes without a major version bump.
