Type

Types provide a way to define complex data structures that are not backed by a database table. They server two purposes:

1. Types can be used as mixins to contain common fields and attributes shared by multiple models.
2. Types can be used to define strongly typed JSON fields in models.

Syntax

type NAME {
    FIELD*
    ATTRIBUTE*
}

• NAME:

  Name of the model. Needs to be unique in the entire model. Must be a valid identifier.

• FIELD:

  Arbitrary number of fields. See Field for details.

• ATTRIBUTE:

  Arbitrary number of attributes. See Attribute for details.

Example

type Profile {
    age    Int
    gender String
}

type CommonFields {
    id        Int      @id @default(autoincrement())
    createdAt DateTime @default(now())
    updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
}

model User with CommonFields {
    email   String   @unique
    name    String
    profile Profile? @json
}
