# Prisma 7 ORM

Rust-free TypeScript ORM with 90% smaller bundles and 3x faster queries.

## Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use `TeamCreate` to spawn 3 agents:

1. **fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase** - Analyze existing schema and database patterns
2. **fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert** - Verify latest Prisma 7 docs via Context7/Exa
3. **mcp__context7__query-docs** - Check breaking changes and migration guide

After implementation, run **fuse-ai-pilot:sniper** for validation.

---

## Overview

### When to Use

- Database access in Next.js 16 applications
- Type-safe queries with full TypeScript inference
- Schema-first database modeling and migrations
- Complex queries requiring TypedSQL
- Excluding sensitive fields with Omit API

### Why Prisma 7

| Feature | Benefit |
|---------|---------|
| Rust-free client | 90% smaller bundles (14MB → 1.6MB) |
| Query performance | Up to 3x faster on large datasets |
| ESM-first | Native ES modules, modern architecture |
| TypedSQL | Type-safe raw SQL queries |
| Omit API | Exclude sensitive fields globally |
| Driver adapters | Direct database driver integration |

---

## Breaking Changes from v6

### Critical Migration Points

| Change | v6 | v7 |
|--------|----|----|
| Provider | `prisma-client-js` | `prisma-client` |
| Output path | Optional | **REQUIRED** |
| Import | `@prisma/client` | `./generated/prisma/client` |
| Drivers | Built-in | Adapter required |
| Config | Schema only | `prisma.config.ts` |

### Required Schema Changes

Provider must be `prisma-client` with explicit output path. No more generation to `node_modules`.

### Driver Adapters Required

PostgreSQL requires `@prisma/adapter-pg`, MySQL requires `@prisma/adapter-mariadb`, SQLite requires `@prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3`.

---

## SOLID Architecture

### Module Structure

Database code organized in `modules/cores/db/`:

- `modules/cores/db/prisma.ts` - Singleton PrismaClient
- `modules/cores/db/generated/` - Generated client
- `prisma/schema.prisma` - Schema definition
- `prisma/migrations/` - Migration history
- `prisma.config.ts` - Prisma configuration

### File Organization

| File | Purpose | Max Lines |
|------|---------|-----------|
| `prisma.ts` | Singleton client | 30 |
| `schema.prisma` | Models, relations | 100 per section |
| `seed.ts` | Database seeding | 50 |

---

## Key Concepts

### Singleton Pattern (Next.js)

Prevent multiple PrismaClient instances during hot-reload. Use `globalThis` to cache instance in development.

### Output Path

Generated client goes to custom path, not `node_modules`. Import from generated folder.

### Driver Adapters

Direct database driver integration for better performance and control. Configure connection pooling at driver level.

### TypedSQL

Write raw SQL with full type safety. Results are typed based on query.

### Omit API

Exclude fields globally or per-query. Perfect for passwords and sensitive data.

## Best Practices

1. **Singleton in Next.js** - Cache PrismaClient in globalThis
2. **Output path required** - Never generate to node_modules
3. **Driver adapters** - Use native drivers for better performance
4. **Omit sensitive fields** - Configure global omit for passwords
5. **TypedSQL for complex** - Use for queries Prisma can't express
6. **Index verification** - Check query plans for N+1 issues

## Forbidden Patterns

| Pattern | Reason | Alternative |
|---------|--------|-------------|
| Import from `@prisma/client` | v7 requires generated path | Import from `./generated/prisma/client` |
| `prisma-client-js` provider | Deprecated in v7 | Use `prisma-client` |
| No output path | Required in v7 | Set `output` in generator |
| MongoDB | Not supported in v7.0-7.3 | Stay on Prisma 6 |
| url in datasource | Deprecated | Use `prisma.config.ts` |
