Runtime API Reference

This document provides references for runtime APIs exported from the @zenstackhq/runtime package.

Prisma Enhancement API​

Enhancement APIs create wrappers around a Prisma client to add additional behavior. These wrappers can be freely combined to fine-tune what behavior to include.

withPresets​

Description​

Calling withPresets is the simplest way to include all essential enhancements offered by ZenStack, including access policies, field validation, field omission, and password hashing. It's equivalent to calling:

ts
withOmit(withPassword(withPolicy(prisma, options)));
ts
withOmit(withPassword(withPolicy(prisma, options)));

Signature​

ts
function withPresets<DbClient extends object>(
prisma: DbClient,
context?: WithPolicyContext,
policy?: PolicyDef,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ts
function withPresets<DbClient extends object>(
prisma: DbClient,
context?: WithPolicyContext,
policy?: PolicyDef,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ParameterDescriptionDefault
prismaThe Prisma client to enhance
contextThe context to for evaluating access policies
policyThe access policy data, generated by @zenstack/access-policy plugin. Only need to pass it if you configured the plugin to generate into custom location.Loaded from default location
modelMetaThe model metadata, generated by @zenstack/model-meta plugin. Only need to pass it if you configured the plugin to generate into custom location.Loaded from default location

Example​

ts
const session = getSession();
const enhancedClient = withPresets(prisma, { user: session.user });
ts
const session = getSession();
const enhancedClient = withPresets(prisma, { user: session.user });

withPolicy​

Use withPolicy to include enhancements of access policy (@@allow and @@deny) and field validation (@length, @email, etc.).

Access policies and validation rules are processed by the @zenstackhq/access-policy, which transforms the attributes into objects that can be loaded at runtime by default into node_modules/.zenstack folder. withPolicy function also loads from there by default.

If your access policy rules use the auth() function, evaluating it requires access to the current user's identity. You need to pass in a context object containing the user id.

Signature​

ts
function withPolicy<DbClient extends object>(
prisma: DbClient,
context?: WithPolicyContext,
policy?: PolicyDef,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ts
function withPolicy<DbClient extends object>(
prisma: DbClient,
context?: WithPolicyContext,
policy?: PolicyDef,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ParameterDescriptionDefault
prismaThe Prisma client to enhance
contextThe context to for evaluating access policies
policyThe access policy data, generated by @zenstack/access-policy plugin. Only need to pass it if you configured the plugin to generate into custom location.Loaded from default location
modelMetaThe model metadata, generated by @zenstack/model-meta plugin. Only need to pass it if you configured the plugin to generate into custom location.Loaded from default location

Example​

prisma
// ZModel
model Post {
id String @id
title String
author User @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
authorId String
@@allow('read', auth() == author)
}
prisma
// ZModel
model Post {
id String @id
title String
author User @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
authorId String
@@allow('read', auth() == author)
}
ts
const session = getSession();
const enhanced = withPolicy(prisma, { user: session.user });
// only posts belonging to the current user are returned
const posts = enhanced.post.findMany();
ts
const session = getSession();
const enhanced = withPolicy(prisma, { user: session.user });
// only posts belonging to the current user are returned
const posts = enhanced.post.findMany();

withOmit​

Use withOmit function to include support for the @omit attribute. Fields marked with the attribute will be removed from the entities when they're returned.

Signature​

ts
function withOmit<DbClient extends object>(
prisma: DbClient,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ts
function withOmit<DbClient extends object>(
prisma: DbClient,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ParameterDescriptionDefault
prismaThe Prisma client to enhance
modelMetaThe model metadata, generated by @zenstack/model-meta plugin. Only need to pass it if you configured the plugin to generate into custom location.Loaded from default location

Example​

prisma
// ZModel
model User {
id String @id
email String
password String @omit
}
prisma
// ZModel
model User {
id String @id
email String
password String @omit
}
ts
const enhanced = withOmit(prisma);
// password field is removed from user entities
const user = enhanced.user.findMany();
ts
const enhanced = withOmit(prisma);
// password field is removed from user entities
const user = enhanced.user.findMany();

withPassword​

Use withPassword function to include support for the @password attribute. Fields marked with the attribute will be automatically hashed (using bcryptjs) before being stored.

Signature​

ts
function withPassword<DbClient extends object = any>(
prisma: DbClient,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ts
function withPassword<DbClient extends object = any>(
prisma: DbClient,
modelMeta?: ModelMeta
): DbClient;
ParameterDescriptionDefault
prismaThe Prisma client to enhance
modelMetaThe model metadata, generated by @zenstack/model-meta plugin. Only need to pass it if you configured the plugin to generate into custom location.Loaded from default location

Example​

prisma
// ZModel
model User {
id String @id
email String
password String @password
}
prisma
// ZModel
model User {
id String @id
email String
password String @password
}
ts
const enhanced = withPassword(prisma);
// password field is hashed before stored into the database
const user = enhanced.user.create({
data: { email: 'foo@bar.com', password: 'mysecurepassword' },
});
ts
const enhanced = withPassword(prisma);
// password field is hashed before stored into the database
const user = enhanced.user.create({
data: { email: 'foo@bar.com', password: 'mysecurepassword' },
});
