nestjs-prisma

Easy Prisma support for your NestJS application.

Installation

Automatic Install

Use the nest add command to automatically setup the library, Prisma and Docker (optionally):

nest add nestjs-prisma

Manual Install

Add nestjs-prisma library to your NestJS application:

# npm
npm install nestjs-prisma

# yarn
yarn add nestjs-prisma

Furthermore, setup Prisma in your NestJS application, if you haven't already.

npm i -D prisma
npm install @prisma/client

npx prisma init

Basic usage

Add PrismaModule to the imports section in your AppModule or other modules to gain access to PrismaService.

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { PrismaModule } from 'nestjs-prisma';

@Module({
  imports: [PrismaModule.forRoot()],
})
export class AppModule {}

Use the PrismaService via dependency injection in your controller, resolver, services, guards and more:

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { PrismaService } from 'nestjs-prisma';

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  constructor(private prisma: PrismaService) {}

  users() {
    return this.prisma.user.findMany();
  }

  user(userId: string) {
    return this.prisma.user.findUnique({
      where: { id: userId },
    });
  }
}

You have access to all exposed methods and arguments of the generated PrismaClient through PrismaService.

The code is split up into three directories:

+-- docs
+-- examples
+-- lib
+-- schematics

The docs directory contains an astro website and the docs content.

The examples directory contains example applications.

The lib directory contains everything exposed by nestjs-prisma as a library.

The schematics directory contains the blue prints for installing the library with the schematic command.

Here are some tips if you like to make changes to the schematics.

Install @angular-devkit/schematics-cli to be able to use schematics command

npm i -g @angular-devkit/schematics-cli

Now build the schematics and run the schematic.

npm run build:schematics
# or
npm run dev:schematics

# dry-run
schematics .:nest-add

# execute schematics
schematics .:nest-add --debug false
# or
schematics .:nest-add --dry-run false
