Prisma

I feel like the docs should tell you to create a index.ts file in your prima folder that exports the primsa client and then tells tsconfig to alias `prisma` to that folder

can't you just do `import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client";` ?
(I'm using prisma2 but prisma1 was similar)

Hey <@U013Z9PS0G4> :wave:
That isn’t required, you can import `@prisma/client` from anywhere as mentioned above by Richard.

What if I want to configure logging or something

```const prisma = new PrismaClient({});```
You need to use this instance of prisma throughout your app right?

Yes. Just a single instance across the entire app.
To log queries, you can use:
```const prisma = new PrismaClient({
  log: ['query'],
})```


<@U013Z9PS0G4> - in my `server.ts` I have something along the lines of the following:
```const prisma = new PrismaClient({
    errorFormat: 'minimal',
    log: ['query']
});

const server = new ApolloServer({
    typeDefs,
    resolvers,
    context: ({ req, res }: { req: any, res: any }): ApiContext =&gt; {
        return { prisma, user: req.user, req, res };
    },
});```

That creates a single prisma instance and puts it into the contact that get's passed to my endpoints. (I'm using graphql).
In a REST api you an put it on the `req` object and then have access to it in your endpoint.

<@UESADRKMY> right so to share that single instance you can map it to an alias in typescript so instead of `import Prisma from "../../../../prisma"` you can do `import prisma from 'prisma'`

I might start doing that but I also need to access it inside of jobs and stuff
