I got an error with Nest js and Prisma ORM

Question

I’m setting up Prisma with NestJS. I created a PrismaModule and a PrismaService file. I want to add my own middleware for soft delete, but I’m facing an error.

generator client {
 provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
datasource db {
 provider = "postgresql"
 url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}
model User {
 id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
 email String @unique
 password String
 created_at DateTime @default(now())
 updated_at DateTime @updatedAt
 deleted_at DateTime?
 @@map("users")
}

My PrismaService

import { INestApplication, Injectable, OnModuleInit } from '@nestjs/common';
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
import * as type from "@src/prisma/types";
@Injectable()
export class PrismaService extends PrismaClient implements OnModuleInit {
 constructor() {
 super();
 }
 async onModuleInit() {
 await this.$connect();
 this.$use(this.categorySoftDeleteMiddleware); // error is here
 }
}

The error I get Property '$use' does not exist on type 'PrismaService'.ts(2339)

• Community: Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.
• tbhaxor: Please share your prisma version. afaik $use is deprecated. Now it's $extend in the newer versions.
