Prisma

Anyone know for what reason ``@updatedAt`` won't work?

Hey <@UN99R4YUT> :wave:
What’s the issue you’re facing? Could you share what DB you’re using and how is your `schema.prisma` defined?

I'm trying to have prisma enter the date for when an entity is modified. I assumed the @updatedAt directive would be automatic as the @id is but its is not working

I don't have a schema.prisma file in my project. my schema is defined in a typedefs.js file as I'm using graphql

`@updatedAt` will not work if you haven’t created a `schema.prisma`.
Also whatever you define in your `schema.prisma` maps to the database when you run migrations. It has no relation whatsoever to your `typedefs.js` file.

You need to define your models as you will your tables in your `schema.prisma` file and then access it. <https://www.prisma.io/docs/understand-prisma/data-modeling|This> might be useful to have a look at.

Yes, my models are defined in a .graphql file

everything else works except for the @updatedAt part

Are you using Prisma 1 or Prisma 2?
And could you share a sample repo if possible so I could reproduce it?

I'm using Prisma 1 for the time being. I have it only locally now.

```type Product {
  id: ID! @id
  name: String! @unique
  description: String
  date: DateTime! @createdAt
  dateUpdated: DateTime @updatedAt
  cost: Float!
  category: ProductCateg! @default(value: ELECTRONICS)
  weight: Float!
  height: Float!
  width: Float!
  rating: Float! @default(value: 0)
}```
