name: Use Prisma with Bun
---
{% callout %}
**Note** At the moment Prisma needs Node.js to be installed to run certain generation code. Make sure Node.js is installed in the environment where you're running `bunx prisma` commands.
{% /callout %}
---
Prisma works out of the box with Bun. First, create a directory and initialize it with `bun init`.
```bash
$ mkdir prisma-app
$ cd prisma-app
$ bun init
```
---
Then install the Prisma CLI (`prisma`) and Prisma Client (`@prisma/client`) as dependencies.
```bash
$ bun add -d prisma
$ bun add @prisma/client
```
---
We'll use the Prisma CLI with `bunx` to initialize our schema and migration directory. For simplicity we'll be using an in-memory SQLite database.
```bash
$ bunx --bun prisma init --datasource-provider sqlite
```
---
Open `prisma/schema.prisma` and add a simple `User` model.
```prisma-diff#prisma/schema.prisma
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
output = "../generated/prisma"
}
datasource db {
provider = "sqlite"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}
+ model User {
+ id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
+ email String @unique
+ name String?
+ }
```
---
Then generate and run initial migration.
This will generate a `.sql` migration file in `prisma/migrations`, create a new SQLite instance, and execute the migration against the new instance.
```bash
$ bunx prisma migrate dev --name init
Environment variables loaded from .env
Prisma schema loaded from prisma/schema.prisma
Datasource "db": SQLite database "dev.db" at "file:./dev.db"
SQLite database dev.db created at file:./dev.db
Applying migration `20230928182242_init`
The following migration(s) have been created and applied from new schema changes:
migrations/
└─ 20230928182242_init/
└─ migration.sql
Your database is now in sync with your schema.
✔ Generated Prisma Client (v6.11.1) to ./generated/prisma in 41ms
```
---
As indicated in the output, Prisma re-generates our _Prisma client_ whenever we execute a new migration. The client provides a fully typed API for reading and writing from our database. You can manually re-generate the client with the Prisma CLI.
```sh
$ bunx prisma generate
```
---
We can import the generated client from `@prisma/client`.
```ts#src/index.ts
import {PrismaClient} from "@prisma/client";
```
---
Let's write a simple script to create a new user, then count the number of users in the database.
```ts#index.ts
import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client";
const prisma = new PrismaClient();
// create a new user
await prisma.user.create({
data: {
name: "John Dough",
email: `john-${Math.random()}@example.com`,
},
});
// count the number of users
const count = await prisma.user.count();
console.log(`There are ${count} users in the database.`);
```
---
Let's run this script with `bun run`. Each time we run it, a new user is created.
```bash
$ bun run index.ts
Created john-0.12802932895402364@example.com
There are 1 users in the database.
$ bun run index.ts
Created john-0.8671308799782803@example.com
There are 2 users in the database.
$ bun run index.ts
Created john-0.4465968383115295@example.com
There are 3 users in the database.
```
---
That's it! Now that you've set up Prisma using Bun, we recommend referring to the [official Prisma docs](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-client) as you continue to develop your application.
