Use Prisma GraphQL API

Every Prisma service exposes a GraphQL API with CRUD and realtime operations for the types defined in the service's datamodel. This API is called the Prisma API.

The GraphQL schema defining the types and operations of the Prisma API is referred to as the Prisma GraphQL schema. It is automatically generated by Prisma.

The Prisma API is based on the following datamodel:

type Post {
  id: ID! @unique
  createdAt: DateTime!
  updatedAt: DateTime!
  isPublished: Boolean! @default(value: "false")
  title: String!
  text: String!
  author: User!
}

type User {
  id: ID! @unique
  email: String! @unique
  password: String!
  name: String!
  posts: [Post!]!
}

This chapter explains everything you need to know about the Prisma API and how it can be used in various contexts.
