Accessing Zod Validation Errors in Separate Controller Files

[Earnstein]

Hello! I'm using Zod validation in my Hono project, and I'm finding it a bit tricky to access validation errors when my controllers are defined in separate files. Here's a simplified example of my setup:

import { httpCreateJob } from "../controllers/job";
import { zValidator } from "@hono/zod-validator";
import { schema } from "../middleware";

const jobRouter = new Hono();
jobRouter.route("/").post(zValidator("json", schema), httpCreateJob);

export default jobRouter;

// controllers/job.js
async function httpCreateJob(c: Context) {
  const { position, company } = await c.req.json("json"); // Issue arises here
  
  // ... job creation logic ...
}

The line await c.req.json("json") throws an error: "Expected 0 arguments, but got 1". I understand that Zod validation likely parses the data beforehand, but I'm unsure how to access the validation errors or the parsed body within my controller function.

my question is

1. How can I correctly access Zod validation errors and the validated request body within my httpCreateJob controller?
2. Is it necessary to define controllers alongside routes, or is there a best practice for maintaining separation in Hono?
