Async validations in zod

[danielkellyio]

I'd like to do async validations in the zod plugin with the .refine method something like this:

z
    .string()
    .email()
    .refine(
      async (email) => {
        const res = await $fetch("/api/user-already-exists", {
          method: "GET",
          query: { email },
        });
        return !res.exists;
      },
      {
        message: "Email already exists",
      }
    ),

Currently this is impossible since the createZodPlugin function uses safeParse instead of safeParseAsync.

Are there any downsides to changing this?

I dont think there is any reason why we cant use safeParseAsync. @andrew-boyd?
