Outputting zod definitions for use in a different codebase

Hi,

I would like to take my zod schemas and output them for use in another codebase. Unfortunately when using tsc emitDeclaration with:

import { z } from 'zod';

import { z } from 'zod';

const definition = z.string();

const definition = z.string();

export type clientInput = z.input<typeof definition>;

export type clientInput = z.input<typeof definition>;

comes out with the zod types baked in, even if typescript will show me that

thingIWant

thingIWant

is a string. In this case I get:

import { z } from 'zod';

import { z } from 'zod';

declare const definition: z.ZodString;

declare const definition: z.ZodString;

export type clientInput = z.input<typeof definition>;

export type clientInput = z.input<typeof definition>;

export {};

export {};

Which really isn't ideal when the types span multiple files and ideally would be in some kind of readable fashion when working with the other codebase.

I would love to get

export type clientInput = string;

export type clientInput = string;
