Make Schemas Optional
The solution is really intuitive in this case!
By adding .optional() on to the end of our phoneNumber schema, our test will pass:
const Form = z.object({ name: z.string(), phoneNumber: z.string().optional(), });
What we are saying here is that name is a string, and phoneNumber is either

Matt Pocock: 0:00 Luckily, Zod makes this really, really intuitive with .optional here. Now you can see inside the test that it is all working. What we end up with is a type that looks like...If we go type FormType = z.infer typeof Form, then what we get is name is now a string, but phoneNumber is now a string or undefined. You don't have to parse it, which is really, really nice. That's just a really simple addition you can add if you need a property to be optional.
