Is there a way to set `allowUnknown` to true by default

[Talbet Fulthorpe]

Is there a way to set the default behavior for objects so that allowUnknown will be true for all instances of object? I tried created a wrapping function that looked like this:

const laxObject = (shape: object, options = {}) =>
  object(shape, { ...options, allowUnknown: true })

But couldn't get it to work without loosing type information on validated objects.

In terms of the use case, I am writing a front end against an API that is rapidly being developed. Hoping not to break the frontend as new features are added to the api. It's very easy to forget to set allowUnknown to new objects.

No worries 👍

import * as mz from 'myzod';

function laxObject<T extends Record<string, mz.Type<any>>>(shape: T) {
  return mz.object(shape).allowUnknownKeys();
}

const schema = laxObject({ name: mz.string(), age: mz.number() });
schema.parse({name: 'Bob', age: 20, other: true }) // All good.

Let me know if this does the trick !
