Hey I was confused because I read on prisma docs they recommended foal: https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/overview/prisma-in-your-stack/rest
That's some prescient stuff I guess.
Can't wait to see this implemented, although I love typeorm, it seems it doesn't have a bright future upfront!
Maybe would be nice to be able to use any ORM with adapters or extra packages, so foal is ORM-agnostic even if coming with some default choice or something, idk!
Anyway, Thanks @LoicPoullain for the awesome work, just discovered the framework and really happy to start testing it

Glad you like it!

Foal is already ORM-agnostic, so you can use the ORM/ODM that you wish with it. TypeORM is only provided as a default option (https://foalts.org/docs/databases/using-another-orm). The only part of the framework that is specific to this ORM is the foal generate rest-api
command and the groups and permissions.
I will need some time to study Prisma (currently working on websockets) and understand how it's different from a classic ORM (if you have some basic examples, I'll be happy to see them). In any case, Foal will continue to support TypeORM (for product stability and because, even if it has drawbacks, it is still a solution that "works"). But Prisma could be another option also provided by the framework.
In your view, what would supporting Prisma mean? Adding a @foal/prisma
package with a fetchUser
function (for auth)? Could it be done by simply adding Prisma examples in the docs?
Thanks
What i love about Foal is the abstraction it provides over integrating popular packages like Typeorm, saving developer from the hassle of writing all the required loc (while still keeping customisation of underlying parameters)
I'll have a look into that doc section about using another ORM, maybe Prisma integration might be much easier than i thought ;)
Guidelines on how to integrate Prisma with Foal have been added to v2.3 documentation. The framework needed a small new feature for that.
The documentation will be accessible on the website once v2.3 is released. In the meantime, you can read it here.
Feel free to reach me back if you have trouble with the new docs. 👍

Prisma seems to offer many advantages (especially te better type safety, and leaness) over TypeORM, what do you think to make it default within FoalTS ?
Only drawback seems to be Mongo Support which is still WIP.
Some infos for a potential
