🪝 Prisma Hooks
100% type-safe, generated react-query hooks for quering any model in your prisma-managed database.
Built originally on a Next.js project, these hooks can be used in any project that uses a React frontend and a Node.js backend. However, if not using Next.js (particularly, if you have a separate frontend and backend), you will need to maintain a copy of the schema.prisma file in both your client and in your server (since we rely on it for generating the custom hooks). You will only ever run npx prisma-hooks generate in the client, but be sure whenever changes are made to you schema file on the server that it is also updated in the client copy.
Install
yarn add prisma-hooks
Or via npm
npm i prisma-hooks
Quickstart
- Add your api handler (any node environment works)
// server.ts
import { prisma } from "services/prisma";
import { hamdlePrismaQuery } from "prisma-hooks";
...
// Handles requests like the following `/:model/:action?count=<boolean>`
export const handler(req) => {
const res = await handlePrismaQuery({
model: req.query.model,
action: req.query.action,
count: req.query.count ?? false,
query: req.body,
db: prisma,
});
if (res.error) {
return res.status(422).json(res);
}
return res.status(200).json(res);
}
- Generate your 100% type-safe custom hooks on the client
Note: a prisma/schema.prisma file must exist on the client, even if your client and server are separate. A schema file must be preset on the client in order for the generator to work.
npx prisma-hooks generate
- Use your newly generated hooks!
// With `count` included
const { data: { data: posts = [], _count = 0 } = {}, isLoading } =
useFindManyPosts({
query: {
where: { id: 1 },
include: { comments: true },
orderBy: { createdAt: "desc" },
},
options: { keepPreviousData: true, enabled: true },
count: true,
});
// Without `count` included
const { data: posts = [], isLoading } = useFindManyPosts({
query: // ...
options: // ...
});
const { mutateAsync: upsertPost, isLoading } = useUpsertPost();
...
upsertPost({
where: { id: 1 },
create: { name: "New Name" },
update: { name: "Udated Name" },
});
A mutation action (like createMany) is a useMutation from react-query while a query action (like findMany) is a useQuery.
Known issues
For some reason, development bundlers like Webpack will "forget" that the hooks were generated. If running a Next.js application, for example, you may run into the error TypeError: (0 , prisma_hooks__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_2__.<hook>) is not a function. VSCode also forgets sometimes. To resolve, simply run npx prisma-hooks generate again or delete the .next folder and restart your server. In other words, clear your development caches and the generated hooks will be working once again.
