Prisma Auto Generate GraphQL Inputs with Validation from class-validator | NestJS Tutorial

From my first impressions video with Prisma (link below) I called out an issue with the generated DTO type definitions, specifically around the topic of it having gaps with runtime model validation. I talk about that a bit more in this video and also discuss a potential solution that I discovered specifically for GraphQL APIs in NestJS

Thank you! I've been looking for a solution to this for a couple days. This will definitely improve my workflow.

Amazing! I guess you must be thinking of using Prisma in your next project 😁

Hi Marius, this generator is very cool. I was getting very tired of having to update my model every time I would update my schema. The generator also adds the shema's /// comments to document your graphql. The only thing I recommend is rm the whole @generated folder every time your schema changes because it doesnt do a good job at cleaning up old files.

Your video saves me daily on work as I am doing project in Nest. Appreciate your hard work and teaching skills♥️

the generated class look similar to DTO class, why it is not working for REST ?

Marius your videos are amazing. I would like more tutorials that will help you understand the generated types. I have a few questions:
1. That is, this package generates types such as prisma. Then you can somehow make the same auto-substitution as "Prisma.something"?. I work with NX for several applications, so I have to create a library with a module and export each type by hand in order to import it into the service. So far I can't figure out how to do it easier.

2. What is the correct way to think about these types when using them? I understand that this is a big question, but maybe you can answer, because there is little information about this on the Internet.

For example, "if I need a query - find a product variant by product id.
The getProductVariant service argument should be a type, where is the unique product id? That is, VariantWhereUnicInput? "

You will probably help many if you write in the comment how to think in order to decide which type to use? 🙏

How can I use those generated DTO's to connect or create from graphql???

What's your take on using nexus and prisma instead of typegraphql and typeorm in nestjs?

Could you please make a video about ABAC in nestjs with casl and prisma?

[zawriter]

Can you do NestJs + Prisma + GraphQL video please?
