Let’s dive into some practical examples:
// Code Example
// Perform CRUD operations using Prisma ORM
// Import required modules
const { PrismaClient } = require('@prisma/client');
// Initialize Prisma client
const prisma = new PrismaClient();
// Create operation
async function createUser(name, email) {
try {
const user = await prisma.user.create({
data: {
name,
email,
},
});
console.log('User created:', user);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error creating user:', error);
}
}
// Read operation
async function getUsers() {
try {
const users = await prisma.user.findMany();
console.log('Users:', users);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching users:', error);
}
}
// Update operation
async function updateUser(id, newName) {
try {
const updatedUser = await prisma.user.update({
where: { id },
data: {
name: newName,
},
});
console.log('User updated:', updatedUser);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error updating user:', error);
}
}
// Delete operation
async function deleteUser(id) {
try {
const deletedUser = await prisma.user.delete({
where: { id },
});
console.log('User deleted:', deletedUser);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error deleting user:', error);
}
}
// Example usage
async function main() {
await createUser('John Doe', 'john@example.com');
await getUsers();
await updateUser(1, 'Jane Doe');
await deleteUser(1);
}
main()
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error:', error);
})
.finally(async () => {
await prisma.$disconnect();
});// Code Example
// Advanced features with Prisma ORM
// Transaction
async function performTransaction() {
try {
await prisma.$transaction([
prisma.user.create({
data: {
name: 'Alice',
email: 'alice@example.com',
},
}),
prisma.user.create({
data: {
name: 'Bob',
email: 'bob@example.com',
},
}),
]);
console.log('Transaction completed successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error performing transaction:', error);
}
}
// Raw SQL query
async function rawQuery() {
try {
const users = await prisma.$queryRaw('SELECT * FROM User');
console.log('Users (Raw SQL):', users);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error executing raw SQL query:', error);
}
}
