How to get enums in prisma client?

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.

When you generate Prisma Client, it generates TypeScript interfaces for your models and enum types.

you can do

import { PrismaClient, user_type } from '@prisma/client' 

and this will give you the user_type types declarations
