hi josh i'm in the same boat i think

i've just installed prisma to a digital ocean

and i can see it generated Posts stuff

So just to clarify, I would like to add a backend and it looks like Prisma would work well.

do you have a pre-existing db?

Most of the docs I've found assume that your starting from scratch

yea!

have u done

prisma init

to a local cluster yet

I don't have a DB yet

if you dont have a db then aren't you starting from scratch?

@James no, I have a React template that I want to use

ooh prisma is a client and a server, i think

can anyone here help 2 noobs ? 😄

Haha

I don't think Prisma is both

The docs just reference create-graphql, which can create both

ok so for your react client, were you planning on using graphql, apollo, or prisma

yes...haah

I had initially planned to use apollo, but that was when I also planned to use Meteor for the accounts

i wanna use

next-apollo

I just can't get Meteor to play nice with what I already have, so I need something that can just build out the server db and auth

i was following this video

ooh, a pro might be typing 😄

my story is i have a php/mysql db with 100's of tables, and want to automagically graphql it all into react so i do like db.getUsers().then( ...

(all because i have

users

table already)

Gotcha

Heyy guys I’m really struggling with custom input types when exposing my mutations in schema.graphql in /src/ by default, always shows me error with unknown type… thank you so much !

aww he wasnt a pro 😄

anyone wanna help 3 noobs? 😄

maybe we could all chip in for someone to show us da wae
