Prisma

Prisma ORM unlocks a new level of developer experience when working with databases thanks to its intuitive data model, automated migrations, type-safety & auto-completion.

@gqloom/prisma provides integration of GQLoom with Prisma:

  • Generate silks from Prisma Schema;
  • Quickly generate CRUD operations from Prisma.

Installation

npm
yarn
pnpm
bun
npm install -D prisma
npm
yarn
pnpm
bun
npm install @gqloom/core @gqloom/prisma

You can find more information about installation in Prisma documentation.

Configuration

Define your Prisma Schema in the prisma/schema.prisma file:

generator client { provider = "prisma-client-js" } generator gqloom { provider = "prisma-gqloom" } datasource db { provider = "sqlite" url = env("DATABASE_URL") } model User { id Int @id @default(autoincrement()) email String @unique name String? posts Post[] } model Post { id Int @id @default(autoincrement()) title String content String? published Boolean @default(false) author User @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id]) authorId Int }

generator parameters

generator accepts the following arguments:

Generating Silk

npx prisma generate

Using Silk

After generating the silk, we can use it in resolver:

import { resolver, query, field, weave } from '@gqloom/core' import { ValibotWeaver } from '@gqloom/valibot' import * as p from '@gqloom/prisma/generated' import * as v from 'valibot' import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client' const db = new PrismaClient({}) const userResolver = resolver.of(p.User, { user: query(p.User.nullable(), { input: { id: v.number() }, resolve: ({ id }) => { return db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } }) }, }), posts: field(p.Post.list(), async (user) => { const posts = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id: user.id } }).posts() return posts ?? [] }), }) const postResolver = resolver.of(p.Post, { author: field(p.User, async (post) => { const author = await db.post.findUnique({ where: { id: post.id } }).author() return author! }), }) export const schema = weave(ValibotWeaver, userResolver, postResolver)

Hiding Fields

@gqloom/prisma will expose all fields by default. If you wish to hide some fields, you can use field.hidden:

const postResolver = resolver.of(p.Post, { author: field(p.User, async (post) => { const author = await db.post.findUnique({ where: { id: post.id } }).author() return author! }), authorId: field.hidden, })

In the code above, we have hidden the authorId field, which means it will not appear in the generated GraphQL Schema.

Using Bobbins

@gqloom/prisma provides PrismaModelBobbin to help you create Bobbins.
Using Bobbins, you can quickly define commonly used queries, mutations, and fields. Bobbins also come preconfigured with input types for common operational inputs, and using Bobbins can greatly reduce sample code, which is very useful during quick development.

import * as p from '@gqloom/prisma/generated' import { PrismaModelBobbin } from '@gqloom/prisma' import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client' const db = new PrismaClient({}) const userBobbin = new PrismaModelBobbin(p.User, db) const postBobbin = new PrismaModelBobbin(p.Post, db)

In the code above, we have created User and Post models for the Bobbin. The PrismaModelBobbin accepts two parameters, the first being the model that will be used as the silk and the second being the PrismaClient instance.

Relation fields

Bobbin provides the relationField method to define a relationship field:

const userResolver = resolver.of(p.User, { user: query(p.User.nullable(), { input: { id: v.number() }, resolve: ({ id }) => { return db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } }) }, }), posts: field(p.Post.list(), async (user) => { const posts = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id: user.id } }).posts() return posts ?? [] }), posts: userBobbin.relationField('posts'), }) const postResolver = resolver.of(p.Post, { author: field(p.User, async (post) => { const author = await db.post.findUnique({ where: { id: post.id } }).author() return author! }), author: postBobbin.relationField('author'), authorId: field.hidden, })

In the above code, we have used userBobbin.relationField('posts') and postBobbin.relationField('author') to define the relation fields. The relationField method accepts a string argument representing the name of the relationship field.

Queries

Bobbin is preset with common queries and you can use them directly:

const userResolver = resolver.of(p.User, { user: query(p.User.nullable(), { input: { id: v.number() }, resolve: ({ id }) => { return db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } }) }, }), user: userBobbin.findUniqueQuery(), posts: userBobbin.relationField('posts'), })

In the above code, we use userBobbin.findUniqueQuery() to define the user query. Bobbin will automatically create the input type and resolving function.

Preset queries

Bobbin is preset with the following queries:

  • countQuery
  • findFirstQuery
  • findManyQuery
  • findUniqueQuery

Mutations

Bobbins are preset with common mutations and you can use them directly:

const postResolver = resolver.of(p.Post, { createPost: postBobbin.createMutation(), author: postBobbin.relationField('author'), authorId: field.hidden, })

In the code above, we use postBobbin.createMutation() to define the createPost mutation. Bobbin will automatically create the input type and parser function.

Preset mutations

The Bobbin is preset with the following mutations:

  • createMutation
  • createManyMutation
  • deleteMutation
  • deleteManyMutation
  • updateMutation
  • updateManyMutation
  • updateManyMutation

Custom input

Bobbin preset queries and mutations support custom inputs, you can define the input type with the input option:

const userResolver = resolver.of(p.User, { user: userBobbin.findUniqueQuery({ input: valibotSilk( v.pipe( v.object({ id: v.number() }), asInputArgs(), v.transform(({ id }) => ({ where: { id } })) ) ), }), posts: userBobbin.relationField('posts'), })

In the code above, we used valibotSilk to define the input type, v.object({ id: v.number( }) defines the type of the input object. v.object({ id: v.number() }) defines the type of the input object. asInputArgs() to label this object as an input parameter for GraphQL. v.transform(({ id }) => ({ where: { id } })) transforms the input arguments into Prisma's query parameters.

Adding middleware

Bobbin preconfigured queries, mutations and fields support adding middleware, which you can define with the middlewares option:

const postResolver = resolver.of(p.Post, { createPost: postBobbin.createMutation({ middlewares: [ async (next) => { const user = await useLoggedUser() if (user == null) throw new GraphQLError('Please login first') return next() }, ], }), author: postBobbin.relationField('author'), authorId: field.hidden, })

In the above code, we define the middleware using the middlewares option, the async (next) => { ... } defines a middleware. useLoggedUser() is a custom function to get the currently logged in user. If the user is not logged in, an error is thrown, otherwise next() is called to continue execution.

Creating a Resolver

You can create a Resolver directly from a Bobbin:

const userResolver = userBobbin.resolver()

In the above code, we have used userBobbin.resolver() to create a Resolver. This Resolver will contain all the queries, mutations and fields in the Bobbin.

Customize Type Mappings

To accommodate more Prisma types, we can extend GQLoom to add more type mappings.

First we use PrismaWeaver.config to define the type mapping configuration. Here we import GraphQLDateTime from graphql-scalars and when we encounter a DateTime type, we map it to the corresponding GraphQL scalar.

import { GraphQLDateTime } from 'graphql-scalars' import { PrismaWeaver } from '@gqloom/prisma' export const prismaWeaverConfig = PrismaWeaver.config({ presetGraphQLType: (type) => { switch (type) { case 'DateTime': return GraphQLDateTime } }, })

Configurations are passed into the weave function when weaving the GraphQL Schema:

import { weave } from "@gqloom/core" export const schema = weave(prismaWeaverConfig, userResolver, postResolver)

Default Type Mappings

The following table lists the default mappings between Prisma types and GraphQL types in GQLoom:
