SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Upgrading from Prisma ORM v6 to v7 introduces breaking changes around the new prisma-client generator, mandatory driver adapters, prisma.config.ts, explicit environment loading, and new generated client entrypoints, and this Skill guides the full migration so projects do not break. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Step-by-step migration path: Covers package updates, ESM or CommonJS module format selection, TypeScript configuration, schema generator changes, and client instantiation. - Driver adapter setup: Provides configuration for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Neon, PlanetScale, Turso, D1, and Prisma Postgres adapters, including pool and SSL settings. - Removed feature replacements: Shows how to replace $use middleware with Client Extensions, Prisma.validator with TypeScript satisfies, and removed CLI flags with prisma.config.ts options. - Use Case: A team upgrading a PostgreSQL-backed Node.js API to Prisma 7 follows the guide to switch to the prisma-client generator, install @prisma/adapter-pg, create prisma.config.ts, and fix all import errors. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to upgrade my Prisma project from v6 to v7 and fix any resulting errors.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade Prisma from v6 to v7?▼

Update @prisma/client and prisma to version 7, switch the generator provider to prisma-client with an explicit output path, create prisma.config.ts, install a driver adapter for your SQL database, update client imports and instantiation, then run prisma generate.

What driver adapter should I use with Prisma 7?▼

Prisma 7 requires a driver adapter matching your database: @prisma/adapter-pg for PostgreSQL, @prisma/adapter-mariadb for MySQL, @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 for SQLite, and dedicated adapters for Neon, PlanetScale, Turso, D1, and SQL Server.

Does Prisma 7 support MongoDB?▼

No, Prisma 7 has no MongoDB connector and no MongoDB driver adapter package. MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release or migrate to Prisma Next instead of following the v7 SQL migration path.

Can I use Prisma 7 with CommonJS instead of ESM?▼

Yes, Prisma 7 is ESM-first but supports CommonJS by setting moduleFormat = "cjs" in the generator block. Keep your app as CommonJS and regenerate the client rather than forcing ESM on the whole project.

Why does Prisma 7 not load my .env file automatically?▼

Prisma 7 removed automatic environment variable loading, so you must install dotenv and add import 'dotenv/config' as the first line of prisma.config.ts. Bun users are exempt because Bun loads .env files automatically.

How do I replace Prisma.validator in Prisma 7?▼

The prisma-client generator no longer exposes Prisma.validator, so use TypeScript's satisfies operator instead. Define your select or include object literal and annotate it with satisfies Prisma.UserSelect or the equivalent model type.
