Prisma Mongo JSON Schema Generator

This package contains two things:

• A generator, which takes a Prisma 2 schema.prisma and generates a JSON Schema in flavor which MongoDB accepts (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/query/jsonSchema/#std-label-jsonSchema-extension).
• A script to apply the generated schema to MongoDB collections
• A script to validate database contents accorging to the schema

Why?

Because Prisma would blow up at the very wrong moment if the underlying data is invalid. Read this thread to understand the problem better:

This package is a fork of prisma-json-schema-generator, an amazing work by Valentin Palkovic!

Getting Started

1. Install

npm:

npm install prisma-mongo-json-schema-generator --save-dev

yarn:

yarn add -D prisma-mongo-json-schema-generator

2. Apply the schema to database

PRISMA_SCHEMA_FILE=prisma/prisma.schema MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/your-database yarn prisma-mongo-json-schema-generator-apply

If you are getting AuthenticationFailed errors, make sure that you are specifying the correct auth database in the connection URI by using the authSource query parameter (ex: authSource=admin).

The package is configurable via environment variables:

Env name	Default value
MONGO_URI	required
PRISMA_SCHEMA_FILE	prisma/prisma.schema
VALIDATION_LEVEL	strict
VALIDATION_ACTION	error

If you want to omit some property from being included in the schema, add @MongoSchema.omit to its documentation in the Prisma schema:

model SomeModel {
  /// @MongoSchema.omit
  someProperty String
}

3. Validate collections according to the schema

PRISMA_SCHEMA_FILE=prisma/prisma.schema MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/your-database yarn prisma-mongo-json-schema-generator-verify
