A simple crud Application created using Typescript and Prisma
Prisma is a database toolkit.
The toolkit includes Prisma Client, which is an auto-generated query builder that exposes queries which are tailored to your models.
To understand how Prisma and ORMs differ conceptually, here's a brief overview of how their building blocks relate to databases:
| Database | ORMS | Prisma |
|---|---|---|
| SQL Schema | Migrations and model classes | Prisma schema |
| Tables | Model classes | Models in the Prisma schema |
| Columns | Properties in model classes Model | fields in the Prisma schema |
| Records | Instances of a model class (objects) | Plain JavaScript objects |
| Foreign keys | Foreign keys on model classes | Relations between Prisma models |
