prisma-generator-ts-enums

Automatically generates pure TypeScript enums from the enums in your Prisma schema.

Why?

If you're like us and love both monorepos and Prisma, you might run into some trouble when trying to use the native Prisma-generated enums from @prisma/client in other apps. For example, this often becomes an issue with React Native / Expo apps that won't correctly run due to it not finding the enums at runtime. Using this generator, you can bypass those issues by generating native TypeScript enums from your Prisma schema.

Installation & Usage

First, install the package.

$ npm install prisma-generator-ts-enums
#or
$ yarn add prisma-generator-ts-enums

Add the generator

Add the generator to your schema.

generator enum {
  provider = "node node_modules/prisma-generator-ts-enums" // specify the path to this generator here
  output   = "./enums/index.d.ts" // optionally, you can specify an output filename here -- default is ./types/enums.d.ts
}

Finally, run npx prisma generate or yarn prisma generate and a TypeScript definition file with your enums will be generated in the configured output path.

Example

To see an example, check out the Prisma schema in the prisma directory and the generated enums in the prisma/types directory.
