I’m using typescript in a application and created a test to populate a database using Prisma ORM.

I have a function that returns a string.

const mappingPayload = (data: any) => {
let pay = []

const payload = data

pay.push('${payload}')

return pay

}

The test looks like this in the beginning:

import {data, mappingPayload } from '../../src/taskHandlers/buildPayload';

describe('Build Payload', () => {
    beforeAll(
        async () => {
            await loadConfig();
            const db = await getDbClient()

            const dataJir =mappingPayload(data)
            
            payload = await db.cadPayload.create({ data: { 

"resource_type": "mixture",
  "number_of_protected_ips": [1, 8],
  "total_inbound_traffic": [0, 50],
  "total_mitigated_traffic": 20,
  "resources_behind": true,
  "package": "alwayson",} 

});

This works as I’m passing raw data straight into the DB.Create object.

However I’d like to pass the function result string into the DB.Create object.

import {data, mappingPayload } from '../../src/taskHandlers/buildPayload';

describe('Build Payload', () => {
    beforeAll(
        async () => {
            await loadConfig();
            const db = await getDbClient()

            const dataJir =mappingPayload(data) //FROM HERE TO-->
            
            payload = await db.cadPayload.create({ data: { dataJir } }); //HERE!

As you can see I’m passing the returning value of the mapping function to the database.

But keep getting this ERROR from my actual test case:

How does one pass the result of a function that returns a string, into a prisma create object as if it were raw data?
