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 entire migration so nothing is missed. ## 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 installation and configuration for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Neon, PlanetScale, Turso, D1, and Prisma Postgres adapters. - Removed feature replacements: Shows how to replace $use middleware with Client Extensions, Prisma.validator with TypeScript satisfies, and handle removed CLI flags and metrics. - Use Case: A team upgrading a Next.js app hits "Cannot find module" errors after installing Prisma 7; this Skill walks them through setting the generator output path, creating prisma.config.ts, wiring a PrismaPg adapter, and fixing imports. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to upgrade your project from Prisma 6 to Prisma 7 and fix any resulting errors.

Frequently Asked Questions about prisma-upgrade-v7

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade from Prisma 6 to Prisma 7?▼

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, and update PrismaClient imports and instantiation. Then run prisma generate and test.

What is the prisma-client generator in Prisma 7?▼

The prisma-client generator is the default generator in Prisma 7, replacing prisma-client-js for current projects. It requires an explicit output path instead of generating into node_modules and produces client, browser, models, and enums entrypoints.

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 standard v7 SQL migration path.

Why does Prisma 7 require a driver adapter?▼

Prisma 7 removed the native engine binary from the SQL client path, so connections go through driver adapters built on native Node.js drivers like pg or mariadb. This reduces bundle size and improves serverless and edge compatibility.

How do I fix "Cannot find module" errors after upgrading Prisma?▼

Check that the generator output path in schema.prisma matches your import path, such as ../generated/prisma/client, and confirm prisma generate ran successfully. Also verify your moduleFormat setting matches whether your app uses ESM or CommonJS.

What replaces Prisma.validator and $use middleware in Prisma 7?▼

Prisma.validator is replaced by TypeScript's satisfies operator applied to generated types like Prisma.UserSelect. The $use middleware API is replaced by Client Extensions using $extends with query hooks for logging, soft deletes, and similar patterns.
