Highlights

TypeScript-based configuration with prisma.config.ts (Early Access)

In this release, we're introducing an Early Access version of a TypeScript-based configuration file for Prisma ORM: prisma.config.ts.

This file will serve as a central configuration point for Prisma ORM:

import path from 'node:path'

export default {
  earlyAccess: true, // required while in Early Access

  schema: {
    kind: 'single', // use 'multi' if you're using the `prismaSchemaFolder` preview feature
    filePath: path.join('custom', 'prisma', 'schema.prisma')
  }

})

With this file you are able to run any arbitrary code needed to get values required by Prisma ORM, such as database URLs from a secret store or fine-grained control of settings. It needs to live in the current working directory from where you're executing Prisma CLI commands (typically, the root of your project).

Note: If you're using prisma.config.ts, the Prisma CLI will not load environment variables from .env files. If you want to use a .env file with prisma.config.ts, you'll need to load the environment variables manually using the dotenv package (see here).

Learn more about the new prisma.config.ts file in the docs.

Case-insensitive mode in JSON filters

You can now do case-insensitive filtering on JSON data.

Just use the new mode option when filtering using string_contains, string_starts_with or string_ends_with in a JSON object and set it to "insensitive":

await prisma.user.findMany({
  where: {
    pets: {
      path: ['favorites', 'catBreed'],
      string_contains: 'Van',
      mode: "insensitive",
    },
  },
});

The above query returns all users where the favorites.catBreed value contains "Van" or "van".

Thanks to @lubosmato who implemented this feature 🎉

Improved CockroachDB migration speed

In this release we found some inefficiencies in our migration engine that was impacting CockroachDB migrations. In 6.4.0, CockroachDB migrations should be significantly faster.
