With over 2 million weekly downloads Prisma is the hot, production ready ORM.
The difference between junior level projects and writing production ready code often comes down to using professional tooling. Can you work with SQL without an ORM? Ofcourse, but learning and utilizing professional tooling like Apollo Server on top of GraphQL and Prisma as on ORM proves a different level of aptitude.
With Prisma, you can define your tables (models) as so. And connect easily to whereever you database is (both locally or in the cloud).
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL") // Add your database URL in the .env file
}
model User {
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
email String @unique
name String?
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
}
Then, utilizing Typescript you can write clear code to interact with your database through the Prisma Client
// Create a new user
const newUser = await prisma.user.create({
data: {
email: 'john.doe@example.com',
name: 'John Doe',
},
});We already wired this up in SaaS DNA so you can immediately and professionally start writing business logic.
