It's Prisma Time - Create Db

Hi Guys 👋
welcome back.
Finally, today it's time to create our database, so don't waste time, and get started.
How can you create your database?
It's simple! You have to run the following script:

npx prisma db push
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This script creates in your prisma folder a SQLite database called dev.db.
The database's name is taken from the variable DATABASE_URL in the .env file and inside of the file you can find the next table.
Post Table
Ok, now you have your database so it's time to get back at the challenge left open last article.
Run the script

yarn dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
{ posts: [] }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

it's work
Ok, there aren't data but it works 🥳
So now you have a database and you can search data inside it, at this point, it's time to create relations between our entities, but it's the goal of the next article 🤪

That's all for today guys!
See you soon
Bye Bye 👋

It is possible to have a setup up with mongo db? I'm trying to setup with mongo but constantly getting an error.

Hey @gersonec ,
Try to take a look at this repo. You can find a fastify app with prisma and mongodb.
Let me know if you resolve the problem.
Another check you can do is to check if you have the option ?authSource=admin in your connection string.

That option in the connection string solved my problem! Thanks a lot!
