Sub-path import issues with @hookform/resolvers/zod in modern bundlers

[foudhilriahi]

Description

Hi team! 👋

While working on a personal project, I encountered persistent import issues with @hookform/resolvers/zod:
Cannot find module '@hookform/resolvers/zod'

Environment

• Bundler: Vite / Next.js
• TypeScript: 5.x
• Zod: v4+
• react-hook-form: v7+

What I tried

• Reinstalling @hookform/resolvers
• Different import styles
• Checking tsconfig moduleResolution settings

Workaround

I ended up creating a minimal standalone resolver as a workaround: zod-resolver-lite

It's just ~50 lines that:

• Handles nested array paths (items[0].name)
• Supports criteriaMode: "all"
• Uses only non-deprecated Zod v4 APIs

Not a complaint!

I'm not asking for changes—just sharing in case:

1. Others hit the same issue
2. It helps with documentation or troubleshooting guides
3. There's something obvious I missed that could help others

Thanks for the amazing library! ❤️
