I just discovered this https://github.com/prisma/prisma/tree/master/src/packages/react-prisma
Thanks for taking this on early @tim2 @Joël. I am super excited for react server components and the potential it will bring. Glad to see prisma is staying on top of it.
Question: Will there be a way to do mutations with react-prisma? or will it simply be queries done on server components?

01/03/2021, 7:03 PM@Pieter I think doing mutations rather makes sense outside of react-prisma, like they’re also doing it in the example with postgres
tim2
01/03/2021, 7:03 PMSo for mutations for now I would say you should just import the normal prisma client (which you can totally do in a server component as well). In the example they had that in a separate api

01/04/2021, 1:32 PMyep, but it would be nice if react-prisma could wrap that logic for us
Pieter
01/04/2021, 1:46 PMWhat I am more looking for is a usePrisma hook or useMutation. Similar to apollo's hooks
Pieter
01/04/2021, 1:46 PMexcept it doesnt take a graphql query, but rather a function calling prisma client
Pieter
01/04/2021, 1:46 PMlike blitz.js does

01/06/2021, 7:28 AMGood point! We’ll see what we can do 🙂

tim2
02/17/2021, 5:38 PM👋 so mutations don’t make sense in react-prisma, as for now you can just read in server components, that will also stay like that for a while
tim2
02/17/2021, 5:38 PMIf you want to mutate, they use their custom mutations in the demo anyway, which directly sends back the rendered component
tim2
02/17/2021, 5:38 PMThere’s not really anything we can do there from the Prisma side yet
tim2
02/17/2021, 5:38 PMOr what exactly have you imagined there?
tim2
02/17/2021, 5:39 PM(Prisma doesn’t plan to get into the frontend business with a RPC library btw)

Pieter
02/17/2021, 5:42 PMI didn't mean to do it inside the server component. I kinda meant like a rpc lib as you pointed out above. Maybe not fully fledged rpc lib, but some way to call prisma queries from the frontend.
If prisma specifically wants to stay out of it, I get that. Was worth asking though
t
tim2
02/25/2021, 10:04 AMYes, so I think for now we want to keep out of that business
tim2
02/25/2021, 10:04 AMDefinitely worth asking
tim2
02/25/2021, 10:04 AMIf you would like to work on something like that, we’re more than happy to give you some help
tim2
02/25/2021, 10:05 AMBecause I still believe this should exist outside of Blitz
tim2
02/25/2021, 10:05 AMI think there are a few libs doing rpc stuff, also with TypeScript, maybe worth checking out what’s there already

03/06/2021, 7:07 AMSorry @tim2 I only saw your reply now.
I've actually started working with the maintainer of trpc on getting things in there, so its all good. We'll probably end up making a prisma adapter on top of it to generate some crud operations out of the box for users who don't want to configure things. We could stick it into something like react-admin and have an auto generated crud system in place. That way one can have their very own hosted prisma studio alternative with fine-grained control to add auth on top of it as it will be open source unlike studio

@tim2 have a look at trpc.io 🙂
