Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to limit the user role to specific roles and hence I have an enum in my postgres database corresponding to that. But currently extending the core schema allows for string type as an option for role.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to have a new field type named enum which should have an additional field called variants which needs to be a const array so that the type union can be inferrer.

Describe alternatives you've considered

checking for validity during runtime.

Additional context

you can pass an array of strings as a type and it'll be inferred as enum.

Thank you for your response. I was not aware of this. Can you please link the documentation for this? I did not find any information regarding this.

Also this does not create a postgres enum, which was my primary requirement. the type of role is changed into a string union, but the db enum is not created. If it is not possible I will manually change the generated schema.prisma to use the enum instead of String.

Where is the documentation for the array as enum?
