prisma-upgrade-v7

Update @prisma/client and prisma to version 7, switch the generator provider to prisma-client with an explicit output path, create prisma.config.ts, install a driver adapter for your SQL database, update PrismaClient imports and instantiation, then run prisma generate.

The prisma-client generator is the default generator in Prisma 7, replacing prisma-client-js for current projects. It requires an explicit output directory and produces separate client, browser, models, and enums entrypoints instead of generating into node_modules.

No, Prisma 7 has no MongoDB connector and no published MongoDB driver adapter. MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release or migrate to Prisma Next instead of following the standard v7 SQL migration path.

These errors occur when the generator output path does not match your import path or prisma generate was not run. Verify the output field in the generator block, regenerate the client, and import PrismaClient from the generated client entrypoint.

Keep your prisma:// or prisma+postgres:// URL and pass it as accelerateUrl to PrismaClient, then apply the withAccelerate extension from @prisma/extension-accelerate. Do not pass Accelerate URLs to driver adapters, since they expect direct database connection strings.

Prisma.validator is replaced by TypeScript's satisfies operator applied to generated types like Prisma.UserSelect. The $use middleware API is replaced by Client Extensions using $extends with query hooks for logging, soft deletes, and similar cross-cutting logic.
