  provider = "prisma-class-validator-generator"
}

3- Running npx prisma generate for the following schema.prisma

model User {
  id    Int     @id @default(autoincrement())
  email String  @unique
  name  String?
  posts Post[]
}

model Post {
  id        Int      @id @default(autoincrement())
  createdAt DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
  title     String
  content   String?

  viewCount Int      @default(0)
  author    User?    @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
  authorId  Int?
  rating    Float
}

will generate the following files

Inside User model:

import { IsInt, IsDefined, IsString, IsOptional } from "class-validator";
import { Post } from "./";

export class User {
    @IsDefined()
    @IsInt()
    id!: number;

    @IsDefined()
    @IsString()
