Abstract Model for common fields

Problem

I think common fields can be excluded from models and be in one single abstract model, also I find it can be a little bit redundant to have to write them over and over again.

Suggested solution

Have an abstract modifier before the model to exclude it in the database and all the models that extends it can have all the predefined fields.

Alternatives

Abstract modifler

abstract model BaseFields {
  id        String   @id @default(uuid()) @db.VarChar(36)
  createdAt DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
}

Implementation

model User extends BaseFields {
  username  String   @unique @db.VarChar(20)
  password  String   @unique
  Post      Post[]

  @@map("users")
}

model Post extends BaseFields {
  title     String
  published Boolean @default(false)
  author    User    @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
  authorId  String

  @@map("posts")
}

Result

model User extends BaseFields{
  id        String   @id @default(uuid()) @db.VarChar(36) // auto generated filed or ingected?
  createdAt DateTime @default(now()) // auto generated filed or ingected?
  updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt // auto generated filed or ingected?
  username  String   @unique @db.VarChar(20)
  password  String   @unique
  Post      Post[]

  @@map("users")
}

model Post extends BaseFields {
  id        String   @id @default(uuid()) @db.VarChar(36) // auto generated filed or ingected?
  createdAt DateTime @default(now()) // auto generated filed or ingected?
  updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt // auto generated filed or ingected?
  title     String
  published Boolean  @default(false)
  author    User     @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
  authorId  String

  @@map("posts")
}
