How to call validate middleware with next-connect?

[nemanjam]

I am using this with next-connect but api handler never runs? I don't get any response at all. Here is the code sample how I am calling validate middleware:

import nc, { ncOptions } from 'lib-server/nc';
import { requireAuth } from 'lib-server/middleware/auth';
import { postCreateSchema } from 'lib-server/validation';

const handler = nc(ncOptions);

const validatePostCreate = withValidation({
  schema: postCreateSchema,
  type: 'Zod',
  mode: 'body',
});

handler.post(
  requireAuth,
  validatePostCreate, // pass it here
  async (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
     ...
    // this handler never runs?
    res.status(201).json({ post: 'test' });
  }
);

You could check out the example app on this repository. Here is the example. https://github.com/jellydn/next-validations/blob/main/example/pages/api/contact.ts

import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';

import Joi from 'joi';
import connect from 'next-connect';
import { withValidation } from 'next-validations';

const schema = Joi.object({
  dob: Joi.date().iso(),
  email: Joi.string()
    .email()
    .required(),
  name: Joi.string().required(),
});

const validate = withValidation({
  schema,
  type: 'Joi',
  mode: 'body',
});

const handler = (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
  res.status(200).json(req.body);
};

export default connect().post(validate(), handler);

Or with zod https://github.com/jellydn/next-validations/blob/main/example/pages/api/user.ts

import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';

import { z } from 'zod';
import { withValidation } from 'next-validations';

const schema = z.object({
  username: z.string().min(6),
});

const validate = withValidation({
  schema,
  type: 'Zod',
  mode: 'body',
});

const handler = (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
  res.status(200).json(req.body);
};

export default validate(handler);

That works, thanks.

handler.post(
  requireAuth,
  validatePostCreate(),
  async (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
  ...
