The vertz.config.ts file at your project root configures the Vertz compiler, codegen, and cloud settings.
Basic structure
export default {
// Compiler and project-level options
};
export const codegen = {
generators: ['typescript'],
};
The default export configures the compiler. Named exports configure other subsystems (codegen, database).
Entry file detection
The Vertz runtime auto-detects entry files by convention. You do not need to specify them in config:
| Convention | Purpose |
|---|
src/entry-client.ts | Client-side hydration entry |
src/app.tsx | SSR entry (server-side rendering) |
src/api/server.ts | API server entry |
Do not add an entryFile property to your config — it is not a valid option and will be
silently ignored.
Compiler options
export default {
strict: false, // Enable strict validation
forceGenerate: false, // Force regeneration of all outputs
compiler: {
sourceDir: 'src', // Source directory
outputDir: '.vertz/generated', // Generated output directory
schemas: {
enforceNaming: true, // Enforce schema naming conventions
enforcePlacement: true, // Enforce schema file placement
},
openapi: {
output: '.vertz/generated/openapi.json', // OpenAPI spec output path
info: {
title: 'My API', // API title
version: '1.0.0', // API version
description: 'Optional description', // API description
},
},
validation: {
requireResponseSchema: true, // Require response schemas on services
detectDeadCode: true, // Detect unused entities/services
},
},
};
All fields are optional. The defaults shown above apply when omitted.
Codegen options
export const codegen = {
generators: ['typescript'], // Which generators to run
};
The typescript generator creates a fully typed SDK at .vertz/generated/client.ts from your entity and service definitions. This runs automatically during vtz dev and vtz build.
Cloud options
export default {
cloud: {
projectId: 'my-project', // Vertz Cloud project identifier
},
};
Only needed when deploying to Vertz Cloud.
defineConfig helper
For type-checked configuration, use defineConfig:
import { defineConfig } from '@vertz/compiler';
export default defineConfig({
strict: true,
compiler: {
validation: {
requireResponseSchema: true,
},
},
});
Scaffold default
Projects created with vtz create start with a minimal config:
export default {};
export const codegen = {
generators: ['typescript'],
};
This uses all defaults — which is the right starting point for most projects.
