Need to clarify where to import Prisma from

In the past the prisma client was generated inside

node_modules

node_modules

. So I always imported everything from

@prisma/client

@prisma/client

.

But now since the Prisma Client is generated in a custom path outside

node_modules

node_modules

I should be importing it like this right? I am using Next.js and according to this page I create the Prisma Client instance like below. This is the correct way right? Instead of importing the

PrismaClient

PrismaClient

from

@prisma/client

@prisma/client

like we did in the past now I import it from the generated output?

import { PrismaClient } from "../generated/prisma"

const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient }

export const prisma = globalForPrisma.prisma || new PrismaClient()

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") globalForPrisma.prisma = prisma

import { PrismaClient } from "../generated/prisma"

const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient }

export const prisma = globalForPrisma.prisma || new PrismaClient()

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") globalForPrisma.prisma = prisma

If the above is correct, then I will be simply importing

prisma

prisma

from this file like below.

import { prisma } from "@/lib/prisma"

const users = await prisma.user.findMany()`

import { prisma } from "@/lib/prisma"

const users = await prisma.user.findMany()`

But assume I want to use the

Prisma

Prisma

namespace, in order to check an error instance. Like described here: https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/prisma-client/debugging-and-troubleshooting/handling-exceptions-and-errors

Then should I be importing that also from

../generated/prisma

../generated/prisma

? Or from

@prisma/client

@prisma/client

? I tried both, and both seem to import something without any issues. So I am not sure what to use. I don't really have a good understanding what happens under the hood of these so I am a bit confused when to use what.
