👋 Welcome to the A Practical Introduction to Prisma workshop.
In order to successfully complete the tasks in the workshop, you should have:
- Node.js installed on your machine (12.2.X / 14.X)
- It is recommended (but not required) to use VS Code for the practical tasks
That's it 🙌 (no prior knowledge about SQL or Prisma is required)
This repository contains the starter project for the Database Workflows & API Development with Prisma workshop by Nikolas Burk.
You can clone this repository with the following command:
git clone git@github.com:nikolasburk/prisma-workshop.git
Alternatively, you can also download the project via the GitHub UI. Click the green Code-button in the top-right corner and then click on Download ZIP.
Navigate into the project directory and install the npm dependencies with the following command:
cd prisma-workshop
npm install
In this workshop, you'll learn about various workflows that are useful to know when using Prisma.
You'll start by setting up Prisma with a SQLite database, learn about data modeling with Prisma and performing database migrations (lesson 1).
Then, you'll learn about Prisma Client, a type-safe query builder that can be used to query your database. You're going to explore various queries, from plain CRUD, to relation queries, to filters and pagination (lesson 2).
Next, you'll learn how you can use Prisma Client to implement the routes of a REST API (lesson 3).
Finally, we'll cover how you can use Prisma Client to implement the resolvers of a GraphQL API (lesson 4).
A lesson is structured in two parts:
- Host walkthrough: At the beginning of each lesson, your host will walk you through the different tasks you'll encounter in this lesson. Please be attentive during that time and follow the host's explanations to be sure that you can accomplish the tasks yourself when you're working on them later. Do not code along or work on the tasks yourself yet! Instead, you can think of questions or raise anything that you don't understand (e.g. in the Q & A section of Zoom).
- Do it yourself: Once the host is done showing and explaining the different tasks, you get dedicated time to work on the tasks yourself!
