prisma init

Creates the local file structure for a new Prisma database API.

If you provide a directory name as an argument to the command, the generated files will be placed inside a new directory with that name.

Note that in Prisma 1.7, the --boilerplate flag has been removed from prisma init. This means you can not bootstrap an entire GraphQL server based on a GraphQL boilerplate project any more.

To bootstrap a GraphQL server based on a GraphQL boilerplate project, use the graphql create command from the GraphQL CLI:

# Install the GraphQL CLI
npm install -g graphql-cli

# Choose a boilerplate from the interactive prompt ...
graphql create myapp 

# ... or directly select a boilerplate project via the `--boilerplate` option (e.g. `typescript-advanced`)
graphql create myapp --boilerplate typescript-advanced

Usage

prisma init DIRNAME

Examples

Create file structure for Prisma database service in directory called myapp.

prisma init myapp
