Prisma Generator Frontier

A generator, which takes a Prisma 2 schema.prisma and generates a JSON Schema in version 7 of the specification (https://json-schema.org/).

Getting Started

1. Install

npm:

npm i @frontierjs/prisma-generator-frontier

2. Add the generator to the schema

generator jsonSchema {
  provider = "prisma-generator-frontier"
}

With a custom output path (default=./json-schema)

generator jsonSchema {
  provider = "prisma-generator-frontier"
  output = "custom-output-path"
}

Additional options

generator jsonSchema {
  provider = "prisma-generator-frontier"
  keepRelationScalarFields = "true"
  schemaId = "some-schema-id"
}

The generator currently supports a single option

Key	Default Value	Description
keepRelationScalarFields	"false"	By default, the JSON Schema that's generated will output only objects for related model records. If set to "true", this will cause the generator to also output foreign key fields for related records
schemaId	undefined	Add an id to the generated schema. All references will include the schema id

3. Run generation

prisma:

prisma generate

nexus with prisma plugin:

nexus build

Examples

This generator converts a prisma schema like this:

datasource db {
	provider = "postgresql"
	url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

model User {
    id                  Int      @id @default(autoincrement())
    createdAt           DateTime @default(now())
    email               String   @unique
    weight              Float?
    is18                Boolean?
    name                String?
    number              BigInt   @default(34534535435353)
    favouriteDecimal    Decimal
    bytes               Bytes
    successorId         Int?
    successor           User?    @relation("BlogOwnerHistory", fields: [successorId], references: [id])
    predecessor         User?    @relation("BlogOwnerHistory")
    role                Role     @default(USER)
    posts               Post[]
    keywords            String[]
    biography           Json
}

model Post {
    id     Int   @id @default(autoincrement())
    user   User? @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
    userId Int?
}

enum Role {
    USER
    ADMIN
}

into:

{
    $schema: 'http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#',
    definitions: {
        Post: {
            properties: {
                id: { type: 'integer' },
                user: {
                    anyOf: [
                        { $ref: '#/definitions/User' },
                        { type: 'null' },
                    ],
                },
            },
            type: 'object',
        },
        User: {
            properties: {
                biography: { type: 'object' },
                createdAt: { format: 'date-time', type: 'string' },
                email: { type: 'string' },
                id: { type: 'integer' },
                is18: { type: ['boolean', 'null'] },
                keywords: { items: { type: 'string' }, type: 'array' },
                name: { type: ['string', 'null'] },
                number: { type: 'integer' },
                bytes: { type: 'string' },
                favouriteDecimal: { type: 'number' },
                posts: {
                    items: { $ref: '#/definitions/Post' },
                    type: 'array',
                },
                predecessor: {
                    anyOf: [
                        { $ref: '#/definitions/User' },
                        { type: 'null' },
                    ],
                },
                role: { enum: ['USER', 'ADMIN'], type: 'string' },
                successor: {
                    anyOf: [
                        { $ref: '#/definitions/User' },
                        { type: 'null' },
                    ],
                },
                weight: { type: ['integer', 'null'] },
            },
            type: 'object',
        },
    },
    properties: {
        post: { $ref: '#/definitions/Post' },
        user: { $ref: '#/definitions/User' },
    },
    type: 'object',
}

So the following input will correctly be validated:

{
    post: {
        id: 0,
        user: {
            id: 100,
        },
    },
    user: {
        id: 10,
        createdAt: '1997-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00',
        email: '[e-mail]',
        biography: {
            bornIn: 'Scharnow',
        },
        is18: true,
        keywords: ['prisma2', 'json-schema', 'generator'],
        name: null,
        posts: [
            {
                id: 4,
            },
            {
                id: 20,
            },
        ],
        predecessor: {
            id: 10,
            email: '[e-mail]',
        },
        successor: null,
        role: 'USER',
        weight: 10.14,
    },
}
