What problem does it solve?
Provide a clear, type-safe API for database access by generating a Prisma Client from a schema, simplifying CRUD operations, relation loading, transactions, and raw SQL while avoiding connection pool issues in development and production.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Client generation & setup: Generate the Prisma Client after defining your schema and keep it up to date with migrations.
- Type-safe CRUD and relation queries: Perform find, create, update, delete, nested writes, and relation filters with compile-time types.
- Transactions and raw SQL: Run batched and interactive transactions with rollback semantics and execute parameterized raw SQL safely.
- Production readiness: Use a singleton client pattern to prevent connection pool exhaustion in hot-reload environments, and handle Prisma-specific errors for robust error handling.
Quick Start
Install dependencies, run npx prisma generate, create a singleton PrismaClient module, and run a simple findMany query to verify connectivity.
