prisma-frontend/README.md

A Prisma generator for creating frontend-friendly exports (types and enums).

**DEPRECATED**

This package is now deprecated as Prisma provides functionality to achieve the same thing that this package did: use `moduleFormat = "esm"` in your JS client generator now. (See https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/prisma-schema/overview/generators#field-reference-1)

# prisma-frontend

A Prisma generator for creating frontend-friendly exports (types and enums).

-   Generated outputs can be used just as easily in the backend or frontend, unifying the import source of your model types and enums.
-   Generated outputs are in ESM format.
-   This is experimental. Please open bug tickets in GitHub.

## Install

```
npm i -D prisma-frontend
```

## Usage

### Prisma Schema

Insert this as a generator in your Prisma schema file:

```prisma
// the standard client generator
generator jsClient {
    provider = "prisma-client-js"
    output   = "../generated"
}

// make sure this is placed after prisma-client-js
generator jsFrontend {
    provider = "prisma-frontend"
}
```

This generator requires the `prisma-client-js` generator to be used as well (as shown above).

### Imports

Import model types and enums from `prisma-frontend`:

```typescript
import {type User, AuthRole} from './generated/frontend/index.js';

export function authenticateAdmin(user: Partial<User>): boolean {
    return user.authRole === AuthRole.Admin;
}
```
