@prisma-next/utils

Shared utility functions for Prisma Next.

Overview

This package provides general-purpose utility functions used across the Prisma Next codebase. These utilities are target-agnostic and have no dependencies on other Prisma Next packages.

Utilities

ifDefined(key, value)

Returns an object with the key/value if value is defined, otherwise an empty object. Use with spread to conditionally include optional properties while satisfying exactOptionalPropertyTypes.

import { ifDefined } from '@prisma-next/utils/defined';

// Instead of:
const obj = {
  required: 'value',
  ...(optional ? { optional } : {}),
};

// Use:
const obj = {
  required: 'value',
  ...ifDefined('optional', optional),
};

Why use this?

• Explicit: You name exactly which properties are optional
• Intentional: Won't accidentally strip other properties
• Type-safe: Returns {} or { key: V } (without undefined)
• exactOptionalPropertyTypes compatible: Properly handles TypeScript's strict optional property checking

Result<T, F>, ok(), notOk(), okVoid()

Generic Result type for representing success or failure outcomes. This is the standard way to return "expected failures" as values rather than throwing exceptions.

import { type Result, ok, notOk, okVoid } from '@prisma-next/utils/result';

// Success result with value
function divide(a: number, b: number): Result<number, string> {
  if (b === 0) {
    return notOk('Division by zero');
  }
  return ok(a / b);
}

// Using the result
const result = divide(10, 2);
if (result.ok) {
  console.log(result.value); // 5
} else {
  console.error(result.failure); // error message
}

// Void success for validation
function validate(value: unknown): Result<void, string> {
  if (!value) {
    return notOk('Value is required');
  }
  return okVoid();
}

Types:

• Ok<T> - Success with value: { ok: true, value: T }
• NotOk<F> - Failure with details: { ok: false, failure: F }
• Result<T, F> - Discriminated union of Ok<T> | NotOk<F>

See docs/Error Handling.md for the full error taxonomy.
