Prisma and MongoDB Composite Types - mongodb

Question

I'm working with Prisma for the first time and I'm not sure if I'm going about this in the right way.
Here's a snippet of my schema
model Economy {
id String #id #default(auto()) #map("_id") #db.ObjectId
shops Shop[]
}
type Shop {
id Int #default(0)
name String #default("")
items ShopItem[]
EconomyId String? #db.ObjectId
}
type ShopItem {
id Int #default(0)
enabled Boolean #default(true)
name String #default("")
price Int #default(0)
description String #default("")
commands ShopCommand[]
}
type ShopCommand {
command String #default("")
}
This does work of course and it's easy for me to destructure in JavaScript however inserting and updating is complicated.. here's an example of updating a "ShopItem"
const newItem = {
id: 2,
name: body.name,
price: parseInt(body.price),
description: body.description,
enabled: body.enabled == 'true',
commands: newCommands
}
const newEconomy = await prisma.economy.update({
where: {
guildId: guildId,
},
data: {
shops: {
updateMany: {
where: {
id: 0,
} ,
data: {
items : {
push: [newItem]
}
}
}
}
}
})
This is hard to read and I feel like I'm doing this all wrong.
I've looked into how other people go about the same thing but I haven't found much information. Should I even be using composite types, should each type be inside it's own collection instead?

Answer 1

It looks like Shop and ShopItem could be their own models. They look sufficiently complex and relational in nature to warrant a separate entity.
Composite types are best suited for smaller, structured pieces of data that might be repeated or shared between several other models while not being necessarily relational or unique in nature.
