Prerequisites

In order to successfully complete the tasks in the workshop, you should have:

• Node.js installed on your machine (12.2.X / 14.X)
• Docker installed on your machine or a hosted MongoDB instance (e.g. on Atlas)
• It is recommended (but not required) to use VS Code for the practical tasks

That's it 🙌 (no prior knowledge about MongoDB or Prisma is required)

What you'll do

In this workshop, you'll learn about various workflows that are useful to know when using Prisma.

You'll start by setting up Prisma with a MongoDB database, learn about data modeling with Prisma and mapping your Prisma data model to MongoDB (lesson 1).

Then, you'll learn about Prisma Client, a type-safe query builder that can be used to query your database. You're going to explore various queries, from plain CRUD, to relation queries, to filters and pagination (lesson 2).

Next, you'll learn how you can use Prisma Client to implement the routes of a REST API (lesson 3).

Finally, we'll cover how you can use Prisma Client to implement the resolvers of a GraphQL API (lesson 4).
