Get created relation on upsert in Prisma - prisma

Question

I'm just getting started with Prisma, and have the following schema:
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
datasource db {
provider = "mysql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}
model Client {
id Int #id #default(autoincrement())
email String #unique
first String?
last String?
tickets Ticket[]
}
model Ticket {
id String #id #default(uuid())
purchasedAt DateTime #default(now())
pricePaid Int
currency String #db.VarChar(3)
productId String
client Client #relation(fields: [clientId], references: [id])
clientId Int
}
When a client buys a new ticket, I want to create a new ticket entry, and the associated client entry, if the client doesn't exist. Much to my surprise, the following Just Worked:
const ticketOrder = {
// details
};
const client = await prisma.client.upsert({
where: {
email: email,
}, update: {
tickets: {
create: [ ticketOrder ]
}
}, create: {
first: first,
last: last,
email: email,
tickets: {
create: [ ticketOrder ]
}
}
});
However, what gets returned is just the client entry, and what I need is the newly created ticket entry (actually, just the id of the newly created ticket entry). Is there any way to get that in one go, or do I have to do some sort of query after the upsert executes?

Answer 1

You can use select or include as you would in a find operation to include referenced objects, e.g.
const client = await prisma.client.upsert({
where: {
email: email,
},
update: {
tickets: {
create: [ ticketOrder ]
}
},
create: {
first: first,
last: last,
email: email,
tickets: {
create: [ ticketOrder ]
}
},
include: {
tickets: true
}
});
This would return all tickets.
To me, it seems strange to upsert the client, if you primarily want to create at ticket. You could instead create a ticket and create or connect the client:
const ticket = await prisma.ticket.create({
data: {
// ...
client: {
connectOrCreate: // ...
}
},
})
