feat: add isClient guard

[juliusmarminge]

Hey there,

Small little utility guard for checking if a client is a PlanetScale client. We currently have a helper like this in our codebase

functionisPlanetScaleClient(client: unknown): client is PlanetScale.Client{return(Predicate.isRecord(client)&&Predicate.isRecord(client.config)&&Predicate.isFunction(client.transaction)&&Predicate.isFunction(client.execute)&&Predicate.isFunction(client.connection));}

due to some issues with instanceof check unexpectedly returning false.

Accept or deny as you wish :)

@juliusmarminge thank you for your contribution.

Can you explain a little what the use case is for checking whether the client is a PlanetScale client, and in which instances instanceof would not work?

My best guess is that this is for narrowing, if we accept this patch we'll want to document that this utility is available, what/when it should used for.

For future ref Markdoc does something similar but as a static method on the class

Hey, sorry your other comment must have passed by my inbox.

We need to check if a client is a Client or mysql2.Pool. We then create a drizzle client based on that. This is cause we allow both to run on serverless (where we wanna use your http driver) and on stateful servers (where we want to use persistent tcp connection).

exportclassMySqlDrizzleextendsContext.Tag("@uploadthing/db/Client")<MySqlDrizzle,DatabaseClient>(){staticaffectedRows=(result: QueryResult["type"]): number=>{constrow=Array.isArray(result) ? result[0] : result;constcount="rowsAffected"inrow
? row.rowsAffected// pscale
: row.affectedRows;// mysql2returncount;};staticmake=(client: mysql2.Pool|mysql2.Connection|PlanetScale.Client,): DatabaseClient=>{if(isPlanetScaleClient(client)){returndrizzlePlanetscale(client);}else{returndrizzleMysql2(client);}};}

Not sure when client instanceof Client failed, but it did in one case and that's why i created this PR. Maybe we had multiple versions of the lib bundled, who knows xd. Understand if you don't wanna move forward with this without a reproduction though.

effect also uses function for guards that checks the presence of a symbol instead of relying on prototype chain (e.g. https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect/blob/9e2cc4eafa16dae21022904142132ddbe307f785/packages/effect/src/Micro.ts#L136)

lmk how you wanna move forward
