jsonSchemaToZod will output the full module code, including a Zod import. If you only need the Zod schema itself, try one of the parsers directly. If you need to deref your JSON schema, try awaiting jsonSchemaDereffed.

import {
  jsonSchemaToZod,
  jsonSchemaToZodDereffed,
  parseSchema,
} from "json-schema-to-zod";

const myObject = {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
    hello: {
      type: "string",
    },
  },
};

const module = jsonSchemaToZod(myObject);

const dereffed = await jsonSchemaToZodDereffed(myObject);

const schema = parseSchema(myObject);

module/dereffed =

import { z } from "zod";

export default z.object({ hello: z.string().optional() });

schema =

z.object({ hello: z.string().optional() });
