[SOLVED] How to add a date to a prisma typescript form?

How to add a date to a prisma typescript form?

I am trying to figure out how to post a date to a prisma database.

I have a prisma.schema which has a createdAt field as follows:

  createdAt       DateTime @default(now()) @db.Timestamptz(6)

I made a model with a date field in it as follows:

@Field()
  createdAt: Date;

And a create.input.ts with a similar field:

@IsNotEmpty()
  @Field()
  createdAt: Date;

then, in the form, I'm trying to add the createdAt date as the date the form is submitted, as follows:

 return form.handler(() => createIssueGroup({ variables: { data: { ...data, createdAt: Date.now() } } })),

However, I get an error that says type number is not assignable to type string. I don't think I'm using a string in any of the date fields.

How can I post a date to prisma?

Solution

From your schema definition,

createdAt DateTime @default(now()) @db.Timestamptz(6)

The date will be automatically generated due to the now() method you specified in @default(). You don't need to pass a date to the database as that will be handled for you by Prisma. See the docs for more information on using now() and defining a default value.
