Safely Handling Dynamic Data with TypeScript
summary
Claims that compile-time types can match runtime checks by deriving TypeScript types from JSON Schema with TypeBox, and wiring those schemas into Fastify so AJV validates requests before the handler runs. Demonstrates a concrete Fastify POST route, shows VS Code hover types, and proves body.name is a string and body.age is number|undefined at runtime — effectively closing the gap between TypeBox-derived static types and Fastify+AJV runtime validation.
