new Method .schemaResolve() (or something like this) for nested schemas at runtime

[lghartmann]

This week i got a task that involves a lot of API testing with different versions of the same JSON body, i thought of a VSCODE extension that generates JSON body from a zod schema, didnt find any, then i started coding my own extension, my extension repo. I got it working with simple "primitive" schemas such as z.object({id: z.number(), name: z.string()}) but when it comes to nested schemas i started getting in trouble because of the many ways we can import stuff in TS. I tried a lot of deepseek generated code to make it work, if it is a skill issue please let me know. I'm planning on contributing to zod with this method if noone is doing it already, if i was not clear enough please let me know. Here's the idea:

import { z } from 'zod';

export const BirthdaySearchSchema = z.object({
  idSync: z.string(),
  componentType: z.literal('birthday'),
  farmIdSync: z.string(),
  name: z.string(),
  email: z.string().nullable(),
  phone: z.string().nullable(),
  birthDate: z.coerce.date(),
});

export type BirthdaySearchDto = z.infer<typeof BirthdaySearchSchema>;

my current version of the extension works with this schema (there's no nested schema)

but when i need to generate a JSON body from a schema that contains a nested schema i would need the method .resolveSchema() (or something like this) to get it as a another z.object...

import { z } from 'zod';

import { UserPartialSchema } from '../../User';

export const BirthdaySchema = z.object({
  idSync: z.string(),
  farmIdSync: z.string(),
  componentType: z.literal('birthday'),
  name: z.string(),
  email: z.string().nullable(),
  phone: z.string().nullable(),
  birthDate: z.string().datetime(),
  createdBy: UserPartialSchema,
});

export type BirthdayDto = z.infer<typeof BirthdaySchema>;

in this schema i would call the method to resolve it's shape at runtime so i could mock it on the extension side.
