Prisma is a well-liked ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool that enables type-safe and effective database interaction. Many databases are supported, including the well-liked NoSQL database MongoDB, which stores data in a JSON-like format.

In this blog post, we'll walk you through the setup of Prisma with MongoDB and show you how to use Prisma to carry out fundamental CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) activities.

Setting up Prisma with MongoDB:

Before we begin, you'll need to have MongoDB installed and running on your machine. Once you have MongoDB set up, you can install Prisma using npm or yarn:

npm install prisma --save-dev    // using npm
yarn add prisma  // using yarn

Next, create a new Prisma project by running the following command:

npx prisma init

This will generate a brand-new project that includes a 'schema.prisma' file in its 'prisma' directory. With Prisma's schema definition language, open the 'schema.prisma 'file and define your data model.

Defining your data model:

Let's construct a straightforward data model for a blog in this example, including the entities Post and User. A Post has a title, a body of text, and a creator User identification. A User has an email address and a name.

datasource db {
  provider = "mongodb"
  url      = "mongodb://localhost:27017/my-database"
}

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

model User {
  id    String  @id @default(uuid())
  name  String?
  email String  @unique
  posts Post[]
}

model Post {
  id      String  @id @default(uuid())
  title   String
  content String?
  author  User    @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
  authorId String
}

In the above schema, we define a MongoDB datasource and specify the URL for the database. We also define two models - User and Post - and specify their fields and relationships.

Performing CRUD operations:

With Prisma and MongoDB set up and our data model defined, we can now perform basic CRUD operations. Here are some examples:

Create a new User:

const newUser = await prisma.user.create({
  data: {
    name: "Archit Gupta",
    email: "architgupta@example.com",
  },
});

Retrieve a User:

const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { email: "architgupta@example.com" },
  include: { posts: true },
});

Update a Post:

const updatedPost = await prisma.post.update({
  where: { id: "post-id" },
  data: { title: "New title" },
});

Delete a User:

const deletedUser = await prisma.user.delete({
  where: { id: "user-id" },
});

Cessation:

In this blog, I showed how to set up Prisma with MongoDB and use Prisma to carry out fundamental CRUD activities. Prisma is an effective tool for working with databases because it is type-safe and effective ORM, and working with NoSQL databases is made much easier by its support for MongoDB.

By following the steps outlined in this blog, you should now have a good understanding of how to get started with Prisma and MongoDB. Happy coding!

Note: Remember to replace 'my-database' with the name of your own MongoDB database.
