What is the Prisma Framework?
The Prisma Framework is an application data framework that consists of these tools:
- Photon: Type-safe and auto-generated database client ("ORM replacement")
- Lift: Declarative data modeling and migrations
- Studio: Admin UI to support various database workflows
While each tool can be used standalone (in both greenfield and brownfield projects), they integrate nicely through common components like the Prisma schema or the Prisma 2 CLI.
Getting started
The easiest way to get started with Photon and/or Lift is by installing the Prisma 2 CLI and running the interactive init command:
npm install -g prisma2
prisma2 init hello-prisma
The interactive prompt will ask you to provide database credentials for your database. If you don't have a database yet, select SQLite and let the CLI set up a database file for you.
