Maybe @weakky or @jasonkuhrt can help out here?

04/14/2020, 11:34 AMThe rootTypings should be automatically set for types that matches the name of your prisma model.
If you need some custom types derived from the client types, for now you can import/re-export them in your project. They'll become available in the rootTyping property of output type builders such s objectType/interfaceType etc

04/14/2020, 11:35 AMDo you have the nexus-plugin-prisma enabled?

04/14/2020, 11:37 AMWhat do you mean by using the types exactly? Do you just want to set the root typings of your output types or use them in elsewhere (eg: function params)?

04/14/2020, 11:38 AMwell I have a prisma generated type that in my api layer is split up in an interface with the same name and 3 subtypes. These subtypes do not get access to the root type the same way the interface type does. So I wanted to explicitly add it as roottype but there are no types that I can use.

Copy code
// types.ts
import * as Prisma from '@prisma/client'
export type YourType = Prisma.YourType
//schema.ts
import { schema } from 'nexus'
schema.objectType({
name: 'something',
rootTyping: 'YourType'
})weakky
04/14/2020, 11:47 AMNote that your type export can be anywhere in your app, not just in a
types.tsweakky
04/14/2020, 11:48 AMWe should make the client generated types available in the backing types by default. Meanwhile, re-exporting the types is your best shot

04/14/2020, 11:51 AMThere’s already an issue about that btw. You can track it here https://github.com/graphql-nexus/nexus/issues/462

@weakky if you think there is anything here that is recipe worthy go for it (website pr)
w
weakky
04/14/2020, 12:23 PMWe could go with a recipe, but I think #462 is what we should do. Maybe a recipe could do the job in the meantime but I’d consider it a workaround
