Prisma Client PHP

Prisma Client PHP is a standalone package that brings Prisma ORM functionality to PHP, allowing seamless interaction with a Prisma-managed database. It enables developers to work with database models using an elegant, type-safe, and class-based approach, similar to how Prisma works with TypeScript.

Introduction

Prisma Client PHP is a key component of the create-prisma-php-app package, which provides a fast and efficient PHP environment for development. It features component-based architecture and file-based routing, similar to Next.js and React, but optimized for PHP.

This package is responsible for integrating and managing the Prisma ORM layer in PHP. It generates convenient PHP classes based on your database models, replicating the behavior of npx prisma generate in TypeScript but tailored for PHP. This allows developers to effortlessly access, modify, and manage database records using a structured and intuitive API.
