NestJS Prisma - Types of property entities incompatible, missing or not assigned - node.js

Question

I'm trying to update my Postgres database using Prisma ORM in NestJS (Microservices architecture).
The code allows users to interact with invitation requests.
But I keep getting the error:
Argument of type 'Invitation' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Invitation & { work: Work; }'. Property 'work' is missing in type 'Invitation' but required in type '{ work: Work; }'.
The Full error message looks like this:
Type '{ status: "PENDING" | "ACCEPTED" | "REJECTED"; work: undefined; id: string; workId: string; coId?: string; createdAt: Date; respondedAt?: Date; owner?: string; note?: string; }' is not assignable to type '(Without<InvitationUpdateInput, InvitationUncheckedUpdateInput> & InvitationUncheckedUpdateInput) | (Without<...> & InvitationUpdateInput)'.
Type '{ status: "PENDING" | "ACCEPTED" | "REJECTED"; work: undefined; id: string; workId: string; coId?: string; createdAt: Date; respondedAt?: Date; owner?: string; note?: string; }' is not assignable to type 'Without<InvitationUncheckedUpdateInput, InvitationUpdateInput> & InvitationUpdateInput'.
Type '{ status: "PENDING" | "ACCEPTED" | "REJECTED"; work: undefined; id: string; workId: string; coId?: string; createdAt: Date; respondedAt?: Date; owner?: string; note?: string; }' is not assignable to type 'Without<InvitationUncheckedUpdateInput, InvitationUpdateInput>'. Types of property 'workId' are incompatible. Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'never'.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
The Invitation Interface:
export default class Invitation {
id: string;
workId: string;
work: string;
co?: string;
status: RequestStatus;
createdAt: Date;
respondedAt?: Date;
owner?: string;
note?: string;
}
export enum RequestStatus {
PENDING = 'PENDING',
REJECTED = 'REJECTED',
ACCEPTED = 'ACCEPTED',
}
The prisma invitation schema:
model Invitation {
id String #id #db.Uuid
workId String #db.Uuid
work Work #relation(...)
status RequestStatus
co String #db.Uuid
owner String
note String
createdAt DateTime
respondedAt DateTime
}
The Updating mechanics in Postgres Persistence Infrastructure:
async update(invitation: Invitation): Promise<Invitation> {
const entity = await this.prismaService.invitation.update({
where: {
id: invitation.id,
},
data: {
...invitation,
status: RequestStatusEntity[invitation.status],
work: undefined,
},
include: {
work: true,
},
});
return this.toDomain(entity);
}
private toDomain(
entity: InvitationEntity & {
work: WorkEntity;
},
): Invitation {
return Object.setPrototypeOf(
{
...entity,
status: RequestStatus[entity.status],
},
Invitation.prototype,
);
}

You cannot use TypeScript enums in this case as Prisma uses string literals in the generated type.
I would suggest using Prisma's types directly instead of creating your own like this:
import { RequestStatus } from '#prisma/client'
export default class Invitation {
id: string;
workId: string;
work: string;
co?: string;
status: RequestStatus;
createdAt: Date;
respondedAt?: Date;
owner?: string;
note?: string;
}
