Quick Examples

Find records

// Find by unique field
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { email: '[email protected]' }
})

// Find with filter
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
  where: { role: 'ADMIN' },
  orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' },
  take: 10
})

Create records

const user = await prisma.user.create({
  data: {
    email: '[email protected]',
    name: 'Alice',
    posts: {
      create: { title: 'Hello World' }
    }
  },
  include: { posts: true }
})

Update records

const user = await prisma.user.update({
  where: { id: 1 },
  data: { name: 'Alice Smith' }
})

Delete records

await prisma.user.delete({
  where: { id: 1 }
})

])
