Setting up Prisma Client extensions for enums in Epic Stack

Why I did this

Prisma dosn't support enums out of the box and this project shows a way to set up enum like behaviors in your Epic Stack application. Video of what I did.

I also left comments in the code to describe what and why I did to get the enum to work in the project. Pretty much to enable the feature flag in the prisma.schema you need to add the clientExtensions feature flag to your generator block as in below.

generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client-js"
  previewFeatures = ["clientExtensions"]
}

Then run the generate command

npx prisma generate

Now you're good to go to create and use your extension!
