Prisma Practice Exercises: Essential Techniques for Mastering the Framework

Sure, here’s a short practice exercise using Prisma:

Exercise: Create a Blog Application

In this exercise, you will create a simple blog application using Prisma and Node.js. The application will allow users to create new blog posts and view existing posts.

1. Set up a new Node.js project and install Prisma.
2. Use the Prisma CLI to create a new database and generate a schema file.
3. Define the database schema in the schema.prisma file. The schema should include two models: Post and User.
4. Generate a Prisma client using the CLI.
5. Create a new Express.js server and define the routes for the blog application. The routes should include:
   • A route to create a new blog post
   • A route to view a list of all blog posts
   • A route to view a single blog post by ID
6. Implement the route to create a new blog post. This route should use the Prisma client to create a new post in the database.
7. Implement the route to view a list of all blog posts. This route should use the Prisma client to retrieve all posts from the database and return them as a JSON array.
8. Implement the route to view a single blog post by ID. This route should use the Prisma client to retrieve a single post from the database and return it as a JSON object.

Once you’ve completed these steps, you should have a fully functional blog application that uses Prisma to interact with a database. You can continue to expand the application by adding features like user authentication, commenting, and liking posts.
