Parse <input type="datetime-local"> with .datetime()

[tordans]

I am wondering what the cleanest way is to parse the result of an html <input type="datetime-local"> into a date.

The html elements returns something that does not conform to .string().datetime()

• https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#local-date-and-time-state-(type=datetime-local)
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/datetime-local

Right now I am working around it like with something like

z.string().or(z.date()).transform((val) => new Date(val))

But that feels quite complex. Is there an easier way? And if not, should there be?
