schema.prisma:

enum BoardType {
  Public
  Restricted
  Private
}

enum BoardStatus {
  Active
  Deactivated
  Deleted
}

model Board {
  id         BigInt      @id @default(autoincrement()) @db.BigInt
  boardType  BoardType
  name       String      @unique
  allowPosts Boolean     @default(true)
  status     BoardStatus
  createdAt  DateTime    @default(now())
  modifiedAt DateTime?
  deletedAt  DateTime?

  @@map("boards")
}

app/boards/route.ts:

import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';

const prisma = new PrismaClient();

export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
  try {
    const data = await req.json();
    const board = await prisma.board.create({ data });
    return NextResponse.json(board, { status: 201 });
  } catch (err) {
    return NextResponse.json(err, { status: 400 });
  }
}

I have a post request handler POST, as you can see in the code above. I want to validate the request payload.

If the payload doesn't contain the correct BaordType, BoardStatus, required fields, or invalid type of values, I want to immediately return with 400 bad request.

I can achieve this by hardcoding the validation, but is there a cleaner way to do this with a library? Is zod appropriate for this situation?
