valibot: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.

The way it was resolved in kysely:

• https://github.com/kysely-org/kysely/pull/483

It should be related to :

• https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/53514

Thank you for the tip. I will try to investigate this in the next few weeks.

I am toying with the idea of removing merge because of this TypeScript problem. Meanwhile, Valibot has a workaround that accomplishes exactly the same thing with a good DX. Please give me feedback.

import * as v from 'valibot';

const ObjectSchema1 = v.object({ key1: v.string() });

const ObjectSchema2 = v.object({ key2: v.number() });

const MergedSchema1 = v.merge([ObjectSchema1, ObjectSchema2]);

// This is the workaround that accomplishes exactly the same thing
const MergedSchema2 = v.object({
  ...ObjectSchema1.entries,
  ...ObjectSchema2.entries,
});

Here is a guide that help to choose between intersect and merge: https://valibot.dev/guides/intersections/

Yes, that works too. Thank you! Another workaround that works in most cases is intersection:

import { intersection, object, string } from 'valibot';

const Object1 = object({ key1: string() });
const Object2 = object({ key2: string() });
const Object3 = intersection([Object1, Object2]);

Can you send me some code examples?
