Prisma

Prisma ORM is a modern, type-safe ORM for Node.js and TypeScript that simplifies database access and management. It provides:

• A schema-driven approach for defining your data model and generating a tailored, type-safe client.
• Built-in tools for managing migrations (Prisma Migrate) and inspecting your data visually (Prisma Studio).
• Support for multiple databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) with a focus on developer productivity and code safety.

To use Prisma in your Node.js application you must install the prisma and prisma-engines packages and set some environment variables. Naturally the prisma version in your Node.js application should match the version of the prisma packages in NixOS.

Shell.nix example

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
  buildInputs = [
    pkgs.prisma-engines
    pkgs.prisma
  ];

  shellHook = ''
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${pkgs.openssl.dev}/lib/pkgconfig"
    export PRISMA_SCHEMA_ENGINE_BINARY="${pkgs.prisma-engines}/bin/schema-engine"
    export PRISMA_QUERY_ENGINE_BINARY="${pkgs.prisma-engines}/bin/query-engine"
    export PRISMA_FMT_BINARY="${pkgs.prisma-engines}/bin/prisma-fmt"
  '';
}

Flake.nix example

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
  };

  outputs = {nixpkgs, ...}: let
    pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages."x86_64-linux";
  in {
    devShells.x86_64-linux.default = pkgs.mkShell {
      buildInputs = with pkgs; [
        prisma-engines
        prisma
      ];
      shellHook = ''
        export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${pkgs.openssl.dev}/lib/pkgconfig";
        export PRISMA_SCHEMA_ENGINE_BINARY="${pkgs.prisma-engines}/bin/schema-engine"
        export PRISMA_QUERY_ENGINE_BINARY="${pkgs.prisma-engines}/bin/query-engine"
        export PRISMA_FMT_BINARY="${pkgs.prisma-engines}/bin/prisma-fmt"
      '';
    };
