Hi everyone! How do I use Prisma inside of a monorepo managed by Lerna? Multiple packages will depend on Prisma's types, so what do you advise?

in our use case we have 2 api packages that have there types generated for each package using the

--schema=./schema.prisma'

in the generate command to point to same location, not sure if thats best practices but it works fine

@Ben so the schema.prisma file is located in the root?

we have it pulled into its own project at time being

Something like this?

we just have like

packages/db/schema.prsima

So

db

is considered a package too?

yeah

ow okay

so in my messed up example i would call

generate --schema=../db/schema.prisma'

or something similar

but where will it generate the types?

it will generate its types for thee api folder since thats where i call that commaand

so you call the command in the api folder?

i call commanad where i want it to genereate client

hhm and what if you need Prisma in another package?

we run generate in that folder too

ow alright that's indeed different

What about having a db package where the index file just exports

@prisma/client

?

since your using lerna you could test to see if hoisting prisma to root works, and in your case thats all you need

so I should add it to the root package.json?
