@gquagliano/prisma-middleware v1.0.0

prisma-middleware

Useful middlewares for Prisma ORM. This module includes:

• Soft delete
• Created/updated dates
• Auto type casting

This is an experimental version. Please, test your setup thoroughly. And deploy to production at your own risk!

Install

npm i @gquagliano/prisma-middleware

You will have to configure the middlewares each time you create a new Prisma Client instance. Our recommendation is to create a file where you manage your Prisma Client instance. For example:

import { useAutoCast, useAutoDates, useSoftDelete } from  "@gquagliano/prisma-middleware";
import { Prisma, PrismaClient } from  "@prisma/client";

export  default  async  function  getPrisma() {
	//Initialize once (this is just an example, copy it at your own risk!)
	if(!global.prisma) {
		global.prisma  =  new  PrismaClient();
		useSoftDelete(global.prisma);
		useAutoDates(global.prisma);
		useAutoCast(Prisma, global.prisma);
	}
	return  global.prisma;
}

Soft delete

Adds automatic soft delete to Prisma Client. It works based on a deletedAt field, which stores the date of deletion, or null. It's applied to all models (at the moment it cannot be turned on/off by model).

Install

1. Add to every model:

deletedAt  DateTime?
@@index([deletedAt])

2. Configure:

useSoftDelete(myPrismaClientInstance);

Auto dates

Adds automatic createdAt and updatedAt dates to Prisma Client. It's applied to all models (at the moment it cannot be turned on/off by model).

Install

1. Add to every model:

createdAt  DateTime?
updatedAt  DateTime?
@@index([createdAt])
@@index([updatedAt])

2. Configure:

useAutoDates(myPrismaClientInstance);

Auto type cast

Adds automatic type casting to Prisma Client. It uses the fields definitions to cast values from where and datas (even nested and inside include and select), instead of blindly converting every value.

Install

1. Import/require Prisma along with PrismaClient:

import { Prisma, PrismaClient } from  "@prisma/client";

2. Configure:

useAutoCast(Prisma, myPrismaClientInstance);
