prisma-schema-transformer

EXPERIMENTAL

This project utilizes the getDMMF method from @prisma/sdk to perform some post-processing work on generated Prisma schema, including the following.

• Transform snake_case to camelCase,
• Properly singularize or pluralize model and field name.
• Add @updatedAt attribute to field in the event of column name is updated_at
• Ignore models from the schema.

TODO

• Auto generate the generator and datasource nodes.

Install

$ yarn global add prisma-schema-transformer

Usage

$ prisma-schema-transformer prisma/schema.prisma

Usage
  $ prisma-schema-transformer [options] [...args]

Specify a schema:
  $ prisma-schema-transformer ./schema.prisma

Instead of saving the result to the filesystem, you can also print it
  $ prisma-schema-transformer ./schema.prisma --print

Exclude some models from the output
  $ prisma-schema-transformer ./schema.prisma --deny knex_migrations --deny knex_migration_lock

Options:
  --print   Do not save
  --deny    Exlucde model from output
  --help    Help
  --version Version info

Motivation

Using snake_case in database and automatically transform generated Prisma schema to camelCase with @map and @@map as needed to map the new name back to the database.

There is a snippet provided by @TLadd, but I found regex a bit unreliable.

How does it work

getDMMF parses the Prisma schema file into dmmf(datamodel meta format), which we can use to do some post-processing on the Prisma internal data structure.

Deserializer

There does not seem to be a printer or a deserializer for DMMF, source. You can learn more about the implementation at deserializer.ts. It is responsible for converting a serialized Prisma schema, DMMF, back to plain text file.

It's hacky, but it works. Some test fixtures are taken from the @prisma/sdk repository for testing. We use the getDMMF method to compare the serialized structure of original and transformed Prisma schema, make sure they are identical.

Transformer

Manipulate the naming of Model and Field to follow the camelCase naming convention.

• Model name is always singular.
• Field name is singular by default with the execption of many-to-many relation.
