prisma-generator-drizzle

prisma-generator-drizzle is a Prisma generator that allows you to generate Drizzle schema definitions from Prisma schema. It provides 1:1 functionality mapping, allowing you to use Drizzle as a drop-in replacement for querying and mutating your database.

This tool is ideal for projects transitioning from Prisma to Drizzle, or for those wanting to use both Prisma and Drizzle together. Leveraging the DX of Prisma for defining your schema while still getting the performance benefits and flexibility of Drizzle.

Features

CleanShot.2023-12-25.at.01.11.37.mp4

• 🤝 Compatibility: 1:1 Prisma to Drizzle schema generation*
• ✅ Relational Query Support: Generates relational query definitions.
• 📦 Cutomizability: Includes tools for customizing drizzle-specific features.

*Only supports default scalar for now and more constraints will be added in future

Note: This project is still considered experimental, but you can safely use it for production. Follow the progress on v1.

Getting started

1. Install the package

npm install -D prisma-generator-drizzle
npm install drizzle-orm

2. Add to your Prisma schema

generator drizzle {
  provider = "prisma-generator-drizzle"
  // Specify the output file (or directory)
  output = "./infra/database/drizzle.ts"
}

See configuration for more options.

3. Run the generator

prisma generate

Configuration

Key	Description	Default	Example
output	Generate output directory	"./drizzle"	"../models"
	Generate single output file		"drizzle.ts"
formatter	Run formatter after generation	-	"prettier"
relationalQuery	Flag to generate relational query	true	false
importFileExtension	File extension for relative imports	"none"	"js", "ts"
verbose	Flag to enable verbose logging	-	true
abortOnFailedFormatting	Flag to throw exception when formatting fails	true	false
*dateMode	Change the generated mode for date	"date"

*Does not work with sqlite

Setting up relational query

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-postgres'

// `schema` contains all table and relation definitions
import { schema } from 'prisma/drizzle/schema'

const client = ... // database client
const db = drizzle(client, { schema })

Setting up drizzle-kit

Use the glob pattern (see example 3) to reference the generated table definitions.

import { defineConfig } from 'drizzle-kit'
export default defineConfig({
  // Using the default output path
  schema: './prisma/drizzle/*',
})

Experimental

These syntaxes might change in the future, we encourage your feedback.

We will make sure to keep the syntaxes compatible with future versions.

Customize field with drizzle.custom

Customize the generated field definition using drizzle.custom directive in a json format.

This will override any built-in mapping such as @default(...) or @db.* modifiers.

Available options:

model Table {
  /// drizzle.custom {
  ///   "imports": [{ "name": ["UserId"], "module": "~/models/user", "type": true }],
  ///   "$type": "UserId",
  ///   "default": "() => 1",
  ///   "field": { "mode": "number" }
  /// }
  column BigInt
}

1. imports: Specify the import path for the custom code.

   Array of imports that will be added to each schema file.

   • named import: [{ "name": ["<exported-names>"], "module": "<path-or-module>>" }, ...]
   • default import: [{ "name": "<exported-default>", "module": "<path-or-module>>" }, ...]
   • type import: [{ ..., "type": true }, ...]

   [definition]

2. $type: Specify the type to use for the field.

3. default: Specify the default value for the field.

4. 🏗️ field: Specify the field options.

NOTE: All options are optional. Items marked with 🏗️ are incomplete

Generate .$defaultFn() Custom Default Initializer

⚠️ This may potentially be removed and replaced by drizzle.custom directive

Add /// drizzle.default <module>::<named-function-import> directive above the field definition to generate a custom default initializer.

NOTE: This will override any @default(...) attribute from the schema.

model User {
  /// drizzle.default @paralleldrive/cuid2::createId
  id     String @id
  ...
}

This will result to:

import { createId } from '@paralleldrive/cuid2'
...

export const users = pgTable('User', {
  id: text('id')
    .$defaultFn(() => createId())
    .primaryKey(),
  ...
})

Or with a custom code

model User {
  /// drizzle.default crypto::randomBytes `() => randomBytes(16).toString('hex')`
  salt      String?
  ...
}

import { randomBytes } from 'node:crypto'
...

export const users = pgTable('User', {
  salt: text('salt')
    .$defaultFn(() => randomBytes(16).toString('hex'))
    .notNull(),
  ...
})

Generate .$type<..>() Type Customization

⚠️ This may potentially be removed and replaced by drizzle.custom directive

Add /// drizzle.type <module>::<named-import> directive above the field definition.

model Wallet {
  /// drizzle.type viem::Address
  address     String?
  ...
}

This will result to:

import { Wallet } from 'viem'
...

export const wallets = pgTable('Wallet', {
  address: text('address').$type<Address>(),
  ...
})

Or with a relative import

model User {
  /// drizzle.type ../my-type::Email
  email     String?
  ...
}

import { Email } from '../my-type'
...

export const users = pgTable('User', {
  email: text('email').$type<Email>(),
  ...
})

Compatibility

prisma-generator-drizzle aims for 1:1 compatibility with Prisma, this means that you can use the generated Drizzle schema as a complete and familiar drop-in replacement for the Prisma client.

Note: This generator will use the default Prisma field mapping, meaning any @db.* modifiers will be ignored for now.

Gotchas

Relative import paths need explicit file extensions

If you're using ESM with nodenext/node16 module resolution, or native Node.js TypeScript support, you may need to configure the importFileExtension option:

generator drizzle {
  provider            = "prisma-generator-drizzle"
  importFileExtension = "js"  // For ESM with nodenext/node16
  // or
  importFileExtension = "ts"  // For native Node.js TypeScript support
}
