+# Validate Data
+
+Use the special `eleventyDataSchema` data property to validate data in your Data Cascade. You can set this anywhere in your Data Cascade (front matter, directory data file, global data, etc).
+
+You can use any schema or validation library to achieve this. In this example, we’re using [`zod`](https://zod.dev/).
+
+## Example: Checking that `draft` is boolean
+
+In the following example, each content template with an `eleventyDataSchema` callback (in this example, any templates in the `blog` folder) is checked to make sure the value of any `draft` assignments must be `boolean` or `undefined`. If not, we throw an error.
+
+<div class="codetitle">blog/blog.11tydata.js</div>
+
+```js
+import { z } from "zod";
+import { fromZodError } from 'zod-validation-error';
+
+export default {
+	eleventyDataSchema: function(data) {
+		let result = z.object({
+			draft: z.boolean().or(z.undefined()),
+		}).safeParse(data);
+
+		if(result.error) {
+			throw fromZodError(result.error);
+		}
+	}
+};
+```
