JavaScript@langchain/langgraphindexgetSchemaDefaultGetter
Functionā—Since v0.3

getSchemaDefaultGetter

Copy
getSchemaDefaultGetter(schema: unknown): () => unknown | undefined
View source on GitHub

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
schema*unknown

The schema to check for a default value.

Example

Copy
const getter = getSchemaDefaultGetter(z.string().default("hello"));
getter?.(); // "hello"

const noDefault = getSchemaDefaultGetter(z.string());
noDefault; // undefined

Detect if a schema has a default value by validating undefined.

Uses the Standard Schema ~standard.validate API to detect defaults. If the schema accepts undefined and returns a value, that value is the default.

This approach is library-agnostic and works with any Standard Schema compliant library (Zod, Valibot, ArkType, etc.) without needing to introspect internals.
