feathers-prisma

A Feathers service adapter for Prisma ORM.

Installation

npm install feathers-prisma --save

Documentation

This adapter supports all methods (create, delete, update, patch, find, get) and the common way for querying (equality, $limit, $skip, $sort, $select, $in, $nin, $lt, $lte, $gt, $gte, $ne, $or, $and). Also supports eager loading ($eager), full-text search ($search) and prisma filtering (from 0.7.0 on with $prisma, previously with $rawWhere which is now deprecated).

Prisma Version

• Prisma v3 use feathers-prisma v0.6.0
• Prisma v5 use feathers-prisma v0.7.0 or higher

Setup

import feathers from "@feathersjs/feathers";
import { service } from "feathers-prisma";
import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client";

// Initialize the application
const app = feathers();

// Initialize the plugin
const prismaClient = new PrismaClient();
prismaClient.$connect();
app.set("prisma", prismaClient);

const paginate = {
  default: 10,
  max: 50,
};

app.use(
  "/messages",
  service(
    {
      model: "messages",
      paginate,
      multi: ["create", "patch", "remove"],
      whitelist: ["$eager"],
    },
    prismaClient
  )
);

Eager Loading / Relation Queries

Relations can be resolved via $eager property in your query. It supports also deep relations. The $eager property has to be set in the whitelist option parameter. Otherwise the service will throw an error.

app.use(
  "/messages",
  service(
    {
      model: "message",
      whitelist: ["$eager"],
    },
    prismaClient
  )
);
// will load the recipients with the related user
// as well as all attachments  of the messages
app.service("messages").find({
  query: {
    $eager: [["recipients", ["user"]], "attachments"],
  },
});
// selecting specific fields is also supported since 0.4.0
app.service("messages").find({
  query: {
    $eager: {
      recipients: ["receivedAt", "user"],
    },
  },
});

Filter with default prisma filters

Since 0.5.0 it is possible to use default prisma filters. This makes it possible to filter JSON fields or to filter relations.

The $prisma property has to be set in the whitelist option parameter. Otherwise the service will throw an error.

Since 0.7.0 use the $prisma property to filter instead of using the $rawWhere property.

app.use(
  "/messages",
  service(
    {
      model: "message",
      whitelist: ["$prisma"],
    },
    prismaClient
  )
);
// will load all messages where at least one of the recipients userIds is equal 1
app.service("messages").find({
  query: {
    recipients: {
      $prisma: {
        some: {
          userId: 1,
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

Batch requests

This adapter supports batch requests. This is possible by allowing this in the multi property in the service options. Supported methods are create, patch and delete.

app.use(
  "/messages",
  service(
    {
      model: "messages",
      multi: ["create", "patch", "delete"],
    },
    prismaClient
  )
);

app.service("messages").create([{ body: "Lorem" }, { body: "Ipsum" }]);

Full-Text Search

Prisma supports a full-text search which is currently in preview mode. Find out more how to activate it here. If you activated it through your schema you have to allow it in the whitelist property:

app.use(
  "/messages",
  service(
    {
      model: "messages",
      whitelist: ["$search"],
    },
    prismaClient
  )
);

app.service("messages").find({
  query: {
    body: {
      $search: "hello | hola",
    },
  },
});

Complete Example

Here's an example of a Feathers server that uses feathers-prisma.

import feathers from "@feathersjs/feathers";
import { service } from "feathers-prisma";

// Initialize the application
const app = feathers();

// Initialize the plugin
const prismaClient = new PrismaClient();
prismaClient.$connect();
app.set("prisma", prismaClient);

const paginate = {
  default: 10,
  max: 50,
};

app.use(
  "/messages",
  service(
    {
      model: "messages",
      paginate,
      multi: ["create", "patch", "remove"],
      whitelist: ["$eager"],
    },
    prismaClient
  )
);

// Or if you want to extend the service class
import { PrismaService } from "feathers-prisma";
