Parse /// comments for @@ annotations

[m1212e]

Question

Hi, did you consider parsing /// comments for @@ annotations?

See this issue for detailed context: Brakebein/prisma-generator-nestjs-dto#28

I use a generator that outputs DTOs based on the schema. In concept, this happens:

The parser sees this model

model Role {
  id            String @id
  name      String
  attribute String

  @@unique([name, attribute])
}

And generates this

export class FindRoleDTO {
  id?: string;
  name_attribute?: RoleNameAttributeUniqueInputDto; // this is basically { name: string, attribute: string }
}

The generator allows ignoring certain fields you don't want to appear in the output by adding a comment like /// @DTOHide to a field. Now if I would like to disable output of the name_attribute I can't because the parser does not pick up the comment for the @@ annotation.

Are you reporting that /// are not attached to information from the unique that is put into the DMMF that the generator is provided? So the @@unique is actually picked up, but the comment in front of it is not?

We have an issue around DMMF related problems here: #18561 But I do not see that mentioned there yet.

Yes, thats exactly what I was referring to. Tbh I'm not super deep into the specifics of the parser but as far as I see what I mentioned is currently not possible. Would be cool to see this!
