| description | Create Prisma schema models with relations and indexes. Use when designing database schemas, adding models, or defining entity relationships. |
⚠️ CRITICAL - DO NOT MODIFY
// prisma/schema.prisma - NEVER change these blocks
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}
Import: import { prisma } from '@/lib/prisma' (already exists)
Model Conventions
model Product {
id String @id @default(uuid())
name String
price Float // Use Float for UI (returns number directly)
isActive Boolean @default(true)
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
category Category @relation(fields: [categoryId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
categoryId String
@@index([categoryId])
@@index([name])
}
Rules:
- Model names: PascalCase
- Field names: camelCase
- IDs:
@id @default(uuid()) - Always:
createdAt,updatedAt - Always:
@@indexon foreign keys
Number Types
| Type | Returns | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
Int |
number | Counts, whole numbers |
Float |
number | Prices (recommended) |
Decimal |
Prisma.Decimal | Financial (needs conversion) |
Relations
One-to-Many
model Category {
id String @id @default(uuid())
name String @unique
products Product[]
}
model Product {
id String @id @default(uuid())
category Category @relation(fields: [categoryId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
categoryId String
@@index([categoryId])
}
One-to-One
model User {
id String @id @default(uuid())
profile Profile?
}
model Profile {
id String @id @default(uuid())
user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
userId String @unique // @unique = one-to-one
}
Many-to-Many
model Post {
id String @id @default(uuid())
tags Tag[] // Prisma handles junction table
}
model Tag {
id String @id @default(uuid())
name String @unique
posts Post[]
}
NextAuth Models
User, Account, Session already exist in boilerplate. Just add relations:
model User {
// ... existing fields
posts Post[] // Add your relations
}
After Schema Changes
DO NOT run db push manually. Runs automatically in validation phase.
NEVER
- Modify datasource/generator blocks
- Recreate lib/prisma.ts
- Recreate User/Account/Session
- Forget @@index on foreign keys
- Skip onDelete: Cascade on children
- Run db push during implementation
