Prisma is a popular open source ORM for creating data models in a human-readable format and producing Type-Safe queries in Node.js. Learn more https://prisma.io.
Spectrum is currently in development. It is being used in some internal projects to test DX and issues. It is considered experimental and should not be used for production projects at this time.
Spectrum is set of development tools to aid in faster development and integration using Prisma as the single source of truth.
Spectrum parses the .prisma files into tokenized objects that can then be transform into different formats. In addition, Spectrum provides special comment decorators that can be added to the .prisma file to further enhance the outputs.
Example of using decorators
Spectrum provides a range of generators that will format prisma files into various files for consumption by your services in Node.js.
This is a JSON object representation of a *.prisma file. It also includes Spectrum decorators as part of the JSON object that is utilized by other generators.
JSON Schema is a vocabulary that allows you to annotate and validate JSON documents. It is agnostic to front or back end clients and has become one of the foundations for generating Type Definitions for TypeScript.
Generated typings using Prisma models and Spectrum decorators.
Stubbed TypeScript that encapsulates the Prisma client and leverages the TypeScript typings as a launchpad for generating the business logic for your services.
These are currently at the forefront of development before additional Roadmap items are considered.
- Documentation
- Use Deno or Go as API service layer
- Provide better navigation and UI support for web client
- UI/UX improvements - Smaller screen support.
Provide a CLI to quickly perform operations without use of web client.
Provide an extension to allow quick use of Spectrum without a need for service web client.
A script that will provide all the indexes that are needed in order to have your database optimized against the Prisma models.
Convert prisma files from one database to another. This is great for projects that are database agnostic.
