How to query Enum using Prisma? - node.js

Question

The goal is simple, I want to query enum field in the where clause. Example
prisma version is: "prisma": "3.11.0"
schema.prisma
model Todo {
id Int #default(autoincrement()) #id
title String
content String
status TodoStatus #default(IN_PROGRESS)
createdAt DateTime #default(now())
updatedAt DateTime #updatedAt
}
enum TodoStatus {
IN_PROGRESS
DONE
}
api call
app.get('/todos', (req, res){
const { status } = req.query
const todos = await prisma.todo.findMany({
where: { status: status },
orderBy: {
id: "asc",
},
});
res.json(todos);
})
Frontend I use Next.js and it is a select option
example
<select
id="todo"
name="todo"
onChange={(e) => setSelectedStatus(e.target.value as Status)}
>
{[Status.IN_PROGRESS, Status.DONE].map((status: Status) => {
return (
<option value={status}>{todoStatusToString[status]}</option>
);
})}
</select>
The enum value from Next.js
export enum Status {
IN_PROGRESS = "IN_PROGRESS",
DONE = "DONE",
ALL = "ALL",
}
export const todoStatusToString = {
[Status.IN_PROGRESS]: "In progress",
[Status.DONE]: "Done",
[Status.ALL]: "All",
};
the req.query will be sent from clientside in this format
localhost:3000/todos?status=DONE
{ status: "DONE" }
or
localhost:3000/todos?status=IN_PROGRESS
{ status: "IN_PROGRESS" }
I know that Prisma is built-in to be typesafe. So my assumption is because the data that we get from the frontend is a string type while the enum on Prisma is looking for either IN_PROGRESS or DONE specifically if we send "DECLINED" to status where clause it will spit the same error.
Any help would be appreciated!

In this case you need to cast the type.
You can do it like this
where: { status: status as unknown as TodoStatus}
