Prisma isn't supported by NX at the moment. This setup implements Prisma with a NestJS application.
The Prisma folder can be located anywhere in the monorepo. But the migration and generation commands have to be run from the Prisma folder.
Multiple Prisma folders can be added for multiple projects living in the same monorepo. But only one Prisma Client can be generated at a time.
In order to generate the Prisma Client for your application, install the packages and run the migration and generation commands.
The current setup includes a Docker Compose file for the PostgreSQL database inside the Prisma folder.
Install the dependencies:
$ yarn install
Enter the prisma folder:
$ cd apps/prisma
Start the PostgreSQL Docker container:
$ docker-compose up -d
Migrate the database (to be done every time you change the prisma schema):
$ npx prisma migrate save -c --experimental
$ npx prisma migrate up -c --experimental
(Note: At the moment the --experiemntal flag is required)
Generate the Prisma Client:
$ npx prisma generate
Serve the Nest app from the root of the monorepo:
$ cd ../.. (if needed)
$ nx serve nest
The API should be listening on http://localhost:3333/api
Nx is a set of Extensible Dev Tools for Monorepos.
Nx supports many plugins which add capabilities for developing different types of applications and different tools.
These capabilities include generating applications, libraries, etc as well as the devtools to test, and build projects as well.
Below are our core plugins:
- React
npm install --save-dev @nrwl/react
- Web (no framework frontends)
npm install --save-dev @nrwl/web
- Angular
npm install --save-dev @nrwl/angular
- Nest
npm install --save-dev @nrwl/nest
- Express
npm install --save-dev @nrwl/express
- Node
npm install --save-dev @nrwl/node
There are also many community plugins you could add.
Run nx g @nrwl/react:app my-app to generate an application.
You can use any of the plugins above to generate applications as well.
When using Nx, you can create multiple applications and libraries in the same workspace.
Run nx g @nrwl/react:lib my-lib to generate a library.
You can also use any of the plugins above to generate libraries as well.
Libraries are sharable across libraries and applications. They can be imported from @prisma/mylib.
Run nx serve my-app for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run nx g @nrwl/react:component my-component --project=my-app to generate a new component.
Run nx build my-app to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.
Run nx test my-app to execute the unit tests via Jest.
Run nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.
Run ng e2e my-app to execute the end-to-end tests via Cypress.
Run nx affected:e2e to execute the end-to-end tests affected by a change.
Run nx dep-graph to see a diagram of the dependencies of your projects.
