Type export from client instead of model

[mjperlini]

Description and expected behavior
In the latest version, I have found issues with the generated types and the typing of the returned data from the generated Tanstack Query hooks. With the earlier versions, I imported types from the generated models directory:

import type { Routine } from "../generated/zenstack/models";

Something changed, and I needed to import the type as 'RoutineModel'. I also found that all of my hooks returned { data } types as any, which caused many typescript errors.

Investigating, I have found that if I import the type from the client library, it works as before:

import type { Routine } from "../generated/zenstack/client";

I also need to make the change in the generated hooks file to have the returned data properly typed:

from
import type { Prisma, Routine } from "../zenstack/models";

to
import type { Prisma, Routine } from "../zenstack/client";

I do not know which version this started happening, I need to use Prisma 6.14 for other reasons, so can't regress to an earlier version.

Environment:

• ZenStack version: [2.18.1 / 2.19.0]
• Prisma version: [6.14.0 / 6.16.1]

Hi @mjperlini , are you using the "prisma-client" or "prisma-client-js" generator?

[mjperlini]

This is my generator block:

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client"
  output = "../src/generated/client"
  moduleFormat = "esm"
  previewFeatures = ["typedSql", "views"]
}

This also breaks typing of data in SWR hooks (you just get any) as they also import from models that is missing now with prisma-client.

Fixed in 2.20.0.
