12/11/2018, 11:25 PMHello everyone I have a general questions just a pointer in the right direction.
I would like to use prisma-client not only for a database layer, but also possibly add additional api endpoint/services to my application.
For example I want to have graphql for my own schema via prisma alongside creating a graphql layer for Redmine, where in the app itself I can hit prisma as well as hit my api

12/12/2018, 11:12 AMcorrect. more specifically I realized that Prisma init used to give an option to create an app, and now it just create a prisma instance. How do I get back the option to generate an app

12/12/2018, 1:20 PMTake a look at an example such as this one: https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/master/typescript/graphql-auth
The docker-compose I posted above can be used to spin up a prisma instance that connects to database (mongodb in this case) and the graphql-auth example can be built as a middle layer with custom queries and mutations. You can also call different REST endpoints and serve the data via a single graphql endpoint.
