Zod - Property 'infer' does not exist on type 'typeof import(.../node_modules/zod/lib/external)

Question

I got the Typescript error:

Property 'infer' does not exist on type 'typeof import(.../node_modules/zod/lib/external)

on the code: const CampaignForm = z.infer<typeof CampaignSchema>;

Looking at the docs and node_modules the property is there.

Answer 1

The issue was using const instead of type.

Expected: type CampaignForm = z.infer<typeof CampaignSchema>;

Actual: const CampaignForm = z.infer<typeof CampaignSchema>;

The error is misleading.
