JSON generator for prisma schema (with comments)
npm install @frontierjs/prisma-generator-frontierA generator, which takes a Prisma 2 schema.prisma and generates a JSON Schema in version 7 of the specification (https://json-schema.org/).
1. Install
npm:
``shell`
npm i @frontierjs/prisma-generator-frontier
2. Add the generator to the schema
`prisma`
generator jsonSchema {
provider = "prisma-generator-frontier"
}
With a custom output path (default=./json-schema)
`prisma`
generator jsonSchema {
provider = "prisma-generator-frontier"
output = "custom-output-path"
}
Additional options
`prisma`
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:
`shell`
prisma generate
nexus with prisma plugin:
`shell`
nexus build
| Node Version | Support |

This generator converts a prisma schema like this:
`prisma
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:
`javascript`
{
$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:
`javascript``
{
post: {
id: 0,
user: {
id: 100,
},
},
user: {
id: 10,
createdAt: '1997-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00',
email: 'jan@scharnow.city',
biography: {
bornIn: 'Scharnow',
},
is18: true,
keywords: ['prisma2', 'json-schema', 'generator'],
name: null,
posts: [
{
id: 4,
},
{
id: 20,
},
],
predecessor: {
id: 10,
email: 'horst@wassermann.de',
},
successor: null,
role: 'USER',
weight: 10.14,
},
}
