I'm trying to create a prisma schema, where I have an Order model, and a Client model. I would like to have a one-to-many relation between clients and orders.
I have it working with this Order model:
clientId Client @relation(fields: [clientId], references: [id])
clientId Int
But wanted to also include the client name. Something like this doesn't work:
client Client @relation(fields: [clientName, clientId], references: [name, id])
clientName String
clientId Int
This gives me the error
Error validating: The argument `references` must refer to a unique criteria in the related model `Client`. But it is referencing the following fields that are not a unique criteria: name, id
Is this something that is possible within the Prisma schema? I can do it with my controller in NestJS, but ideally I would want to be done in the Prisma layer.
I solved this by adding a @@unique([name, id]) constraint on the Client model. However, I'm not sure if this is the correct or best way to do this.
