CRUD Operations with Prisma Client
Perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations using the type-safe Prisma Client.
Intro to CRUD with Prisma
Welcome! In this lesson, we'll master CRUD operations using Prisma Client. CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete – the four fundamental operations for interacting with any database.
Prisma Client provides a type-safe and intuitive way to perform these actions, making your database interactions efficient and less error-prone.
Instantiating Prisma Client
Before performing any database operations, you need to instantiate the Prisma Client. This client is automatically generated based on your schema.prisma file and connects your application to the database.
You'll typically do this once in your application's entry point or a dedicated database module.
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
const prisma = new PrismaClient();
async function main() {
console.log('Prisma Client initialized!');
// Database operations go here
}
main()
.catch(e => {
console.error(e);
process.exit(1);
})
.finally(async () => {
await prisma.$disconnect();
