How to get enums in prisma client?
Jul 29
can I get a list of enums values of a model on the client-side like for select option?
Sample enum
enum user_type {
superadmin
admin
user
}
I want this as a select-option on the client-side. How can I get them as JSON data?

You can access the user_type enum in your application code like this:
import {user_type } from "@prisma/client";
let foo: user_type = "superadmin";
// use like any other type/enum
How you plan to connect this to the client-side or send it there is up to you. Typically Prisma types reside in the server-side of your code, not the client-side, so it might be difficult to import prisma types in your client code directly.
This is how Prisma defines the user_type enum under the hood.
// file: node_modules/.prisma/client/index.d.ts
export const user_type: {
superadmin: 'superadmin',
admin: 'admin',
user: 'user'
};
You could just copy and paste this into your client-side code if you like.
