try-prisma is a CLI tool that helps you easily get up and running with any project from the prisma/prisma-examples repository.
These projects are meant to be playgrounds for you to test integrations and features, not production-ready boilerplates or templates.
Do you have feedback about a specific example template? Submit it here!
The easiest way to set up a project using try-prisma is to run the following command:
npx try-prismaThis will walk you through a set of interactive options (detailed below) to help you set up your project.
You can optionally provide arguments to the npx try-prisma command as an alternative to (or in combination with) the interactive experience.
The options are as follows:
| Option | Alias | Arguments | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
--install |
-i | Boolean | false |
Specifies if you would like to install npm packages automatically after creating the project. You can also specify which package manager to use: npm, yarn, or pnpm. |
--name |
-n | Name of the selected template | Defines the name of the resulting directory. | |
--template |
-t | n/a | Specifies which example project you would like to start off with. | |
--database-url |
-d | n/a | Specifies the database URL you would like to use for the project. | |
--vscode |
-v | Boolean (optional) | false |
Adds a .vscode folder with an extensions.json file suggesting the Prisma VS Code extension. |
You would like to use the template named orm/grpc, and install packages automatically:
npx try-prisma -t orm/grpc --installIn this scenario, you will still be prompted to input values for your preferred package manager and the name of the resulting folder.
If you wanted to use yarn to install the packages automatically:
npx try-prisma -i yarnYou can create a new project in the current directory by executing the following:
npx try-prisma -n new_folderInteractive terminal who?? Use all the options!
npx try-prisma -t orm/grpc -i pnpm -n my_project
