Hi @0xtlt, It's not possible yet, Here is a Github issue to track that https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/641
GitHub
Expand our Prisma support (enum, type, other dbs, ...) · Issue #641...
Wasp is heavily using Prisma for the DB layer of web app, but it doesn't yet utilize everything that Prisma offers. Here we can track some of the bigger items that we recognize would be cool to...

Thanks @Fecony !!! Yes, we do plan to add it for sure, but not there yet, it will probably come together with some other bigger changes.

I'm a little late to the party, but I was also looking for a way to use enums. Looks like it's not available at the moment, so do you guys have a suggested workaround for the time being?

@cgduzan not really, but we are going to be handling this soon (this quarter) -> supporting all the Prisma features, like enums, views, types, ... .

@owopi so the plan was to have it released as a part of 0.12 release, which is coming out in a next week or so, but we at the end didn't manage to squeeze the Prisma changes in. My fault, I was supposed to work on that, but other work just took over. That said, this will be the main thing we will be attacking after 0.12 -> big overhaul how Prisma is used in Wasp, unlocking a lot of things. So wait will have to be a bit longer, but it is coming!

Just got a workaround fully working for Postgress 1) Created a seeder function that use $executeRawUnsafe to create the enum. 2) Upgraded to prisma 5.10.2. Version shipped with wasp crashes Prisma Studio if an enum is defined in the db

Hope that helps

Oh this is wild, nice work @Ideavila! What I would be wary of though is that Wasp to some degree assumes it works with Prisma 4, not Prisma 5, so you might end up with some other stuff braeking / suffering because of this. THe real fix is what I described above, Wasp changing how it works with Prisma, to allow all of its features, which is something that will be one of the very next bigger changes on Wasp.

Fully agree that this was a hack. 😜 I actually ended up going a different direction with the authorization design so I killed this approach. I'll share my experiences in a separate thread.
