prisma generate

prisma generate

Invokes the generators specified in prisma.yml. Available generators are:

The following generators are built-into the Prisma CLI:

• Prisma client in JavaScript: javascript-client
• Prisma client in TypeScript: typescript-client
• Prisma client in Flow: flow-client
• Prisma client in Go: go-client
• GraphQL schema of the Prisma API: graphql-schema

By default, the Prisma client is generated locally based on the datamodel. If the datamodel is currently out-of-sync with the API of the running Prisma service, it's also possible to generate the client from the live API instead of the datamodel using the --endpoint option. prisma generate looks up the endpoint in your prisma.yml when the option is added to the command. If you want to provide a custom endpoint, you can add it as an argument to the --endpoint option as well.

Usage

prisma generate [flags]

Flags

-e, --env-file ENV-FILE    Path to .env file to inject env vars
-p, --project PROJECT    Path to Prisma definition file
--endpoint    Use a specific endpoint for schema generation or pick endpoint from prisma.yml

Examples

generate:
  - generator: typescript-client
    output: ./generated/prisma

prisma generate

Generate the TypeScript client from custom endpoint

prisma.yml:

generate:
  - generator: typescript-client
    output: ./generated/prisma

prisma generate --endpoint http://localhost:4466

Generate the Go client and the GraphQL schema store the generated files at ./generated/prisma
