Overview

Prisma is an open-source ORM for Node.js and TypeScript. It is used as an alternative to writing plain SQL, or using another database access tool such as SQL query builders (like knex.js) or ORMs (like TypeORM and Sequelize). Prisma currently supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB and CockroachDBWhile Prisma can be used with plain JavaScript, it embraces TypeScript and provides a level to type-safety that goes beyond the guarantees other ORMs in the TypeScript ecosystem. You can find an in-depth comparison of the type-safety guarantees of Prisma and TypeORMPrisma is a next-generation ORM that can be used to query a database in NestJS appsIt embraces TypeScript to avoid runtime errors and improve productivity. The type-safety it provides goes far beyond the guarantees of traditional ORMs like TypeORM or SequelizePrisma integrates smoothly with the modular architecture of NestJS, no matter if you're building REST or GraphQL APIs. It is typically used within your NestJS services to fulfill the data needs of the controllersWhy Prisma and NestJs?Embracing TypeScriptPrisma is the first ORM that provides full type-safety, even when querying partial models and relations.Smooth integrationPrisma fits perfectly into the modular architecture of NestJS and provides a powerful database access layer.Type-safe database clientPrisma Client ensures fully type-safe database queries with benefits like autocompletion - even in JavaScript.Intuitive data modelingPrisma's declarative modeling language is simple and lets you intuitively describe your database schema.Easy database migrationsGenerate predictible and customizable SQL migrations from the declarative Prisma schema.Designed for building APIsPrisma Client reduces boilerplates by providing queries for common API features (e.g. pagination, filters,...).
