Learn Prisma In 60 Minutes

Prisma is an incredibly popular ORM and for good reason. It is feature rich, type safe, and built on modern JavaScript concepts. The only downside is it is quite complicated to learn at first which is where this video comes in. I will be teaching you everything you need to know to get up and running with Prisma in just 60 minutes.
Thank you Prisma for providing professional captions for this video!

This is an hour long video, but honestly there's like 6 hours of content here. You have done a fantastic job. Prisma is tuly amazing!

[@t3dotgg]

Yeah prisma's pretty cool Quick hot take - migrations kinda suck and `npx prisma db push` w/ a db branch model (like planetscale) is a way better dx IMO

[@umoooo]

its cool to see you here, I first learnt about prisma in your link shortener video. It was awesome!

[@curiouslycory]

Do you have any videos or can you recommend any docs regarding this? I'm kinda stuck on the whole migration thing. Dev migrations work great, but translating those changes to prod seems to be really unclear to me. Running deploy from vercel tells me that there's no changes and the error log says I should baseline. Ultimately I ended up changing my connection on my local machine to the prod database and resolving all of the migrations, but didn't seem like the correct way to do it.

[@arlandmv4053]

Hello, can you say why do they suck? I would like to know..

[@psyferinc.3573]

i forgot where but i managed to create some scripts that have the migration and pushing set @@curiouslycory "prismaPush": "dotenv -e .env.local npx prisma db push ", "prismaMigrate": "dotenv -e .env.local npx prisma migrate ", "prismaStudio": "dotenv -e .env.local npx prisma studio" these are my scripts in my package.json file ( for npm run and i installed "dotenv": "^16.3.1", "dotenv-cli": "^7.3.0", one year too late but i feel your pain

[@matzesox]

Hey Kyle, great vid. One note though: In around 29:00 you create an index on email, but you already have the unique constraint, which will create an index for you (unique constraints are basically an index with extra functionality). So all that sorting or filtering will already use the index, and you just add duplicate second index on the same field.

[@gabrielpedroza1346]

This couldn’t have been a better timing. There is a new stack called t3-stack which uses nextjs, typescript, tailwind and tRPC. I WOULD LOVE you to create a video on tRPC because it simplifies and removes a shit ton of backend code. It also removes the schema so no graphQL because typescript safely infers the types so all you need to do is call the backend function and you’re good to go

[@nexxel]

maintainer of create-t3-app here. would love if Kyle makes a video using tRPC!

Literally the reason I'm here and quite surpirsed this is the most upvoted comment lol, I just started playing around with it today and it is amazing! There's some new syntax in v10 which means most videos are outdated but it's not that different, would love a video from Kyle

Hey Kyle! Thanks for the Great video. Just a recommendation: for nodejs tutorials, you can put the VS code terminal on the right side instead of bottom, so both code and output is clearly visible. Keep up the amazing work

[@wusswuzz5818]

Other alternatives to switching around the one-to-one relationship is a) when deleting, delete the dependent (preference) table first then the main table b) in the dependent table (preference) on the relationship put a cascade delete. In this case only need to delete the user table and it will auto delete related entry in the preference table.

[@Crogoch16]

Damn bro! I can't handle that amount of quality 🔥

[@sourenasahraian2055]

Did anyone else notice that when he logged the generated raw queries by Prisma , no join was taking place between the related tables , rather, instead of the join , it generated two back to back select queries between the related tables which means Prsima must be joining them through it's query engine as opposed to delegating the joins to the database engine in the application layer, this could have serious performance ramifications.

[@scalitics]
