Prisma

Hey <!everyone> :v: :prisma-cool:

We just released Prisma <https://github.com/prisma/prisma/releases/tag/2.26.0|2.26.0> :prisma-rainbow:

:eyes: *Referential Actions now enable cascading deletes and updates (Preview)*

In this release we are introducing a new feature in Preview which allow you to define cascading delete and update behavior in your Prisma schema. Here’s an example:

```model User {
  id    String @id
  posts Post[]
}

model Post {
  id       String @id
  authorId String
  author   User   @relation(fields: [authorId], onDelete: Cascade, onUpdate: Cascade)
}```
The feature can be enabled by setting the preview feature flag `referentialActions` in the `generator` block of Prisma Client in your Prisma schema file:

```generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  previewFeatures = ["referentialActions"]
}```
If you run into any questions or have any feedback, we’re available in <https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/7816|this issue>.

:pager: *`prisma init` now accepts a `--datasource-provider` argument*

This argument lets you configure the default provider for the initially generated `datasource` block in your Prisma schema when using `prisma init` to setup a new Prisma project.

:zap:️ *Node-API improvements (Preview)*

Node-API is a new technique for binding Prisma’s Rust-based query engine directly to Prisma Client. This reduces the communication overhead between the Node.js and Rust layers when resolving Prisma Client’s database queries.

You can enable this feature with the `nApi` feature flag:
```generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client-js"
  previewFeatures = ["nApi"]
}```
Enabling the N-API will not affect your workflows in any way, the experience of using Prisma will remain exactly the same. If you run into any problems, you can reach us in this <https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/6301|issue>.
